I haven't mastered it just yet so you'll see that on a few nights this week I'm planning to cook two separate meals which I try not to do usually but there are meals I want to try that I know not everyone in the house will enjoy.I'm popping to the shop probably four nights a week at the minute but just to check the reduced section for reduced fruit and veg and I also have … [Read more...]
Getting fit the frugal way….
Apparently, by the end of January, a third of those people who joined the gym as part of their New Years Resolution to get fit will have already stopped going* and that in the UK we wasted £37 million every year on unused gym memberships.**I thought about joining the gym myself a few weeks ago but I decided against it as I'd already joined Slimming World which is just under £5 a week so an extra £20-£30 a month didn't really appeal to me.Not that a gym membership is a bad thing - it's an investment in yourself and if you know you're going to stick to it then more power to you. … [Read more...]

Homemade Doner Kebab {Slow Cooker} {Slimming World} {Fakeaway}….
Today I'm going to share with you my amazing homemade doner kebab recipe which I'm pretty sure you're going to love as much as we love! Mr Frugal is partial to the odd Doner Kebab - usually swimming in grease and smothered in garlic sauce - and without fail, he always regrets eating it within about an hour of finishing it.So, after hearing about a version of homemade Doner Kebab that you can make in the slow cooker I decided to give it a go and see if my own version could hit the spot like the greasy kebab shop version does.I looked at lots of different versions of this … [Read more...]
