There's a great Bank Holiday offer on over at the Soda Stream website right now - at least two of their soda stream machines have 50% which makes them an even better buy than they usually are!The Play Sodastream is one of the newer models and is available for £35 as opposed to the £60 to £70 price that it's selling for elsewhere so it's a great deal and I can vouch for how great a soda stream is - my two love ours!Happy Saving. ;-)Don’t miss out on future posts like this - receive updates directly to your inbox by email by adding your email address to the box on the top right … [Read more...]
Introducing #DealOfTheDay….
When I started writing this blog my intention was to use it as a way of recording our family memories and as I started writing it at a time when we needed to save money so I could work less hours I thought the frugal aspect would tie in quite nicely hence 'The Diary of a Frugal Family' was born.We've shared some of our favourite memories, activities and recipes alongside lots of money saving tips which I hope you've found helpful and today, I want to try something new. Something that will hopefully become a regular feature on here in addition to all the usual stuff.(See how I … [Read more...]
The things you discover when you take a wrong turn….
Yesterday we went shopping to York which is a good hours drive away from where we live and on the way back, we turned left instead of right at a t-junction which caused Mr Frugal to mutter a few choice words under his breath and the kids to squeal in delight when they saw a sign for a pick your own strawberry farm.Their squeals meant that we didn't turn back as Mr Frugal wanted to but that we carried on down what seemed to be the longest road ever to find the farm. We eventually found it about five miles down the road but they'd closed down the pick your own fruit side of the farm last … [Read more...]
Parenting at it’s very best: Do as I say and not as I do….
Here’s an interesting fact about me: I’ve never tried coffee!(OK, so I lied about it being an interesting fact but it’s necessary for you to know for the rest of this post so let’s pretend you found it fascinating.)When I say that I’ve never tried coffee, I really mean it – I haven’t even had a nibble of the delicious looking coffee cake they serve in the café near where I live and I certainly haven’t tried any drink containing it in any form.So when Mr Frugal ordered a Baileys Latte when we were on holiday I obviously didn’t even consider trying it, no matter how many times he … [Read more...]
Review: Brewers Fayre….
A couple of weeks ago, after a very lovely day out with the kids, we headed to our local Brewers Fayre to have a try of their new Chef's counter menu. The Chef's counter menu changes according to what day of the week it is and is basically an all you can eat buffet based around whatever the theme of the day is.Monday and Thursday are both curry nights, Tuesday is Mexican night, Wednesday is burgers and hot dogs and Friday is chip shop night. We went on a Wednesday as that seemed like the best night for fussy eating Master Frugal and it couldn't have been better for him.We were sat on … [Read more...]
30 free things you can do tomorrow….
Last Summer Holidays I wrote a post every week sharing five free things you could do with the kids in Summer and when I ran out of ideas, I asked some lovely blogger friends to take over and share their five favourite free things to do with the kids.This Summer I've been having so much fun with the kids that I haven't had the chance to write something similar as I'd planned to do but I've been making use of lots of the ideas in the posts so I thought I'd write a little round up for you tonight.Just click on the images to have a look at each of the ideas in more detail from my posts … [Read more...]
