6 things I gave up to save money (and you can too)If you've been here a while then you probably already know that I like to save money whilst making as little sacrifice as possible.I'm absolutely not the kind of person to make everyone wear extra socks and jumpers and sit under a pile of blankets to save me switching the heating on - I'd much rather save in areas that don't make me feel like I'm having to do without if that makes sense. But there are some things that I've managed to successfully give up without feeling like I'm depriving myself... I stopped buying … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did this week {13 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.
