Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that 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.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-) 1. Financial resilience This is something we've been thinking about a lot lately and … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Cider (Non Alcoholic)….
One of the best things about this time of year is the fact that it's absolutely OK to drink as much spiced apple cider as you want and my slow cooker spiced apple cider not only tastes amazing but it's also super easy to make.I've been trying to perfect this slow cooker spiced apple cider recipe for a few years now and now I'm convinced that the recipe is as close to perfect as it's ever going to get. The first time I tried a spiced apple cider was at a Christmas market a couple of years ago - I'm 99% certain that it was York's Christmas market. I remember being absolutely … [Read more...]
My struggle with blogging about frugality….
Today, it's card on the table time as I want to tell you why I've been struggling a little bit with blogging about our 'frugal lifestyle'. Warning: It's a bit of a waffley post!Basically, our financial situation is in a much better place than it was 10 (ish) years ago when I started blogging all about our journey to a more frugal lifestyle and as a result, our priorities have changed a little bit. I've been going through a bit of a blogging crisis of confidence which for a good few months has stopped me from sharing some of the things I'd usually share with you.For … [Read more...]
Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears…
Real Fruit Juice Gummy Bears are my new favourite thing! Read on to find out why and how to make your own...First up, the reason why I'm a fan of these real fruit juice gummy bears is that Master Frugal has been unwell lately and one of the things that his doctor has said is that he has super low iron levels. We've got some quite strong iron supplements from the doctors and been told to concentrate on increasing his iron levels and to help that, she recommended that we try and up his vitamin C levels too as that really helps with iron absorption.

Why we have a ‘Do-Day’ every couple of months….
You know all those little jobs that mount up around the house that you always put off doing? Well, this year we've been having 'do-days' which is basically a name we made up for a day that we have every couple of months to dedicate to doing all those pesky little jobs. We had one of our little do-days last Sunday so I thought I'd share it with you because having these days every now and again has really helped us keep on top of things and if you're anything like us then it might help you too.And yes, I absolutely know that we should just do these little jobs as and … [Read more...]
My Batch Cooking Meal Plan {27th October 2019}…
It's Monday which means that it's time for #mealplanningMonday again! This week, I'm sharing our meal plan over here rather than over on Meal Planning Made Easy because it's a bit different to my normal plan - it's a batch cooking meal plan.What I mean when I say it's a batch cooking meal plan, I basically mean that I've planned a week's worth of meals based on the fact that I want to do some batch cooking this week so everything I've planned can (and will) be batch cooked so I'll be making one to eat on the day with at least one family-sized portion to go in the … [Read more...]
