You all know that I love a good pre-loved bargain, whether it's from a charity shop, the car boot sale or even from somewhere online and this is the return of my monthly post to share some of my bargains with you!This month's post is a bit different though as I am just sharing one bargain with you this month - it's an emotional one.Bear with me with this one. 😁Last Summer, I shared a photo of one of my favourite spots in the world when I shared how we had a frugal date having a picnic sat in the sunshine one night. This is the photo I shared with you all on here so you … [Read more...]
How just 15 minutes on a Sunday can make the rest of your week so much easier {Free Printable Weekly Planner}….
I genuinely believe that just a few minutes of focus on a Sunday can set you up for the week ahead and today, I'm going to tell you how.(I published this post originally about five years ago but over the last couple of months, I've noticed lots of people heading over from somewhere and having a read of this post so I thought I'd just update it to include a couple of the free planner printables that I've shared since this post was originally published)I'm not a naturally organised person so I genuinely need as much help as I can get in that department.Over the last few months, … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {15th February 2025}….
Every week (ish) I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐It's been an AMAZING week this week for moneysaving! 1) The fixed rate on my mortgage ended a little while ago and I know this is a bad thing, a really bad thing but I let it move over to the standard variable rate. I would never ever advise anyone to do this but I had my reasons - I wasn't sure if we would be selling … [Read more...]
Why I needed a frugal reset….
I wanted to share a little bit today about why I’ve had to give myself a bit of a shake recently and really reflect on my ‘frugal’ lifestyle. A bit of background first… I have a full time job which is reasonably well paid, the only debt that I have is my mortgage and I like to think I’m pretty savvy so have always had good deals on most of our monthly bills (energy, broadband, insurance etc).So in theory, I can afford to not be frugal. And over the last twelve months or so, I feel like I’ve gradually become less frugal which I didn’t really notice until … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {8th February 2025}….
Every week (ish) I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life. Hey! 👐Just in case you get a bit confused, I wrote the first three things here just after the winds that hit a few weeks ago and the last two just this last week as my life has been chaotic to say the least the last couple of weeks for a couple of reasons - nothing bad but I literally haven't had time to open my laptop to read an email never … [Read more...]
Three ways to squeeze in some travel this year…
This year I'm all about seeing as much as I can of the world, and that means the UK as well as travelling further afield because there's so much of this country that I haven't seen yet and so much that I have seen but want to explore more. I have lots of plans this year to really maximise the time that we have off work and the budget that we have available so I thought I'd share a few of them with you today... First up, I'm going to take advantage of any travelling that I'm lucky enough to do with work by using time I have available before or after meetings to explore wherever I am. London is … [Read more...]
