I meant to start doing a 'Five Frugal things....' post every week but last week wasn't great for us as we were hit with a tummy bug that wiped us out but we're on the mend now so here I am again to share with you all five frugal things that I've done this week. Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. This is something I do every week but only realised what a habit it was when Master Frugal told me that he knew it was Sunday because the washing machine was on. Basically, I try to only wash on a Sunday and I do one white wash, one dark load and one colour load. By waiting until I have a … [Read more...]
Tried and Tested – Morrisons Sweet and Sour Sauce….
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Tesco value curry sauce jar as part of my new tried and tested feature where we will be trying lots of different value products and reporting back. I was really pleased at how positive the comments were as I was half expecting lots of people to say that cooking from scratch was the only right thing to do.Today I wanted to tell you about our experiences with the M Savers Sweet and Sour sauce from Morrisons which we bought for the bargain price of 25p!I completely failed with taking note of the ingredients for this but I did read through them … [Read more...]
My favourite guilty pleasure….
I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned hundreds a few times that I love moving house and since I bought my first house, I've moved house four times and spent countless hours searching for our next dream home browsing online estate agents sites.As much as I love where we live now, I do love looking at other people's houses. I like to see how they're decorated and get ideas for what I'd like to do in my own house but even sadder than that, I like to pretend that I've won the lottery and find a house that I would like to live in if money was no object.I sometimes forget that these sites are … [Read more...]
Five Frugal things I’ve done this week to save money {25th January 2015}….
I bet you all do lots of frugal money saving things on a daily basis without even thinking about it! They're just things that make complete sense to you and you do them without even thinking about it aren't they?But sometimes, until someone points something out to you, it doesn't even occur to you so I thought I'd do a post each week to share some of the frugal things I've done that week with you all. Five frugal things I've done this week: 1. I've redecorated Master Frugal's bedroom on a budget with a little inspiration from Pinterest and Facebook, specifically the Homeclick Facebook … [Read more...]
Tried and Tested – Tesco Value Curry Sauce….
I know I've said this before (and I'll probably say it again) but as much as I like cooking from scratch and know that this is the healthiest and often the cheapest way to go, I have no issue with the odd packet mix or jar to help me along the way.If you do have an issue with this then I would recommend you don't continue reading this post. ;-)When I do buy a packet mix or a jar of sauce it's usually one that is on offer at whatever supermarket I'm in and even though the big supermarkets do their own value versions, I'd never tried one until I decided to do a bit of a tried and tested … [Read more...]
#SaveMoneyMonday – Use it Up….
Our house seems to be the home of the equivalent of a toiletries Bermuda Triangle here in our house now that the kids are getting a bit older and taking more of an interest in looking (and smelling) nice!I no sooner unpack a new deodorant or hair gel when it seems to disappear only to found half empty a few weeks later, by which time a replacement has usually been bought. This means that during our pre-Christmas clear out, we found three cans of deodorant, two tubs of hair gel, two lynx shower gels, a tub of chewy vitamins and a can of hairspray - on top of what we thought we … [Read more...]
