Have you heard about the amazing way to save money on your train fares? I thought I'd share how to save money with split ticketing today and also tell you why I personally prefer not to do it!What is Split Ticketing? Split ticketing is a way to save money by buying two or more tickets to travel on a journey where you could just buy one. So, for example, your usual train might go from A-B with one ticket that costs a set amount for the whole journey but you could buy individual tickets that would take you A-C before travelling C-B. Here's the example from the … [Read more...]
The Best Potato Salad Recipe in the World (not even exaggerating)….
I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that my potato salad recipe is the Best potato salad recipe in the World! Honestly, I have done actual research* and the conclusion was that it's so amazing that it absolutely deserves the title of the best potato salad recipe ever!and so more-ish that I've made it about five times since I first randomly added some ingredients to a big bowl trying to make a 'wow' side dish for a BBQ we were heading to later in the day. *OK, so my actual research involves asking my husband and children but it still counts as research, … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {27 September 2019}….
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) Guess what? I'm starting this post in my favourite way...I bought a bunch of … [Read more...]
Let’s Talk about Family Budgeting {the launch our new ‘thing’}….
Do you talk about money with your family?Today, I want you to think about the conversations you do have with your partner and with your children and the impact that talking about money (or not talking about it) can have on your family finances.To me, there are two different types of conversations you should be having about money. The first is with your partner and they need to be more in-depth than the conversations you probably already have. Mr Frugal and I have never really discussed money in that much detail - we have a joint account and I oversee most aspects of our … [Read more...]
What my teenagers ate last week when I wasn’t there to cook for them….
Last week was a bit of an odd week as I was working a late shift at work during the week so I wasn't at home to cook. I also didn't write a proper meal plan (I know, I'm hanging my head in shame) because I was away in London at the weekend and felt very bleugh when I got home. Mr Frugal waited until I got home for his tea and was on lates himself 3 out of the 5 nights so the kids had to mainly fend for themselves which I would absolutely expect them to be able to do at their age (17 and 14). Let's see how they got on... Monday Homemade Chicken Parmo with chips, salad … [Read more...]
Five Ways to Wear a 99p Black T-Shirt…. #SecondHandSeptember
You probably know by now that we're joining in with #SecondHandSeptember this month. ;-) Last week I mentioned in our mini charity shop haul that we'd found a bargain 99p t-shirt and today, I've enlisted the help of Miss Frugal who's volunteered to show us all the different ways you can style the t-shirt so it's perfect for all occasions.The t-shirt she's using today is a H&M oversized black t-shirt which is the perfect length as it's just long enough to pass as a dress as well as be worn as a t-shirt. The best thing about it for me is that it cost just 99p from the sale rack … [Read more...]
