This may come as a surprise to you (although more than likely not) but I'm not always a shining example of frugal-ness. ;-) I spend so much time on here sharing ways to save money and ideas on how to be frugal and rarely share much of the non-frugal side of my life so I thought I'd start a monthly post to share some of the slightly non-frugal things I've done! This is the second post in my frugal fails series- the first is here if you want to see last month's frugal fails. Frugal Fail #1 - A Meal Kit from M&SThis one's not on me really as I completely planned … [Read more...]
What my teenager did when she couldn’t get a Summer Job…
We live in a small seaside town so when Miss Frugal finished school, she was pretty confident that she was going to be able to get a Summer job. Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy as she decided to have some time to relax after her exams before she started applying for jobs. By the time she got herself into gear, she was a good few weeks behind everyone else with the job-hunting which means that, as of today, she is still jobless.Luckily she's not one to give up that easily and decided that if she couldn't find a job, she'd make one of her own!So, the weekend … [Read more...]
Leftover Gammon and Cheesy Mash Fritters…
These leftover gammon and cheesy mash fritters are AMAZING - not only do they use up leftovers and transform them into a whole new meal, but they're also easy to make and taste delicious!I made some rainbow vegetable fritters a year or so ago and ever since then, I've been planning to see if I could make something similar with the leftover mash and gammon that we seem to have on a regular basis. Then Jen popped round to collect Maxi (who was playing basketball with Master Frugal for a good three hours solid) and mentioned that she's just made some cod and pea fritters … [Read more...]
Five of my Favourite Super Cute Unicorn Crafts….
Today's post is a bit of a round up of some of my favourite Unicorn crafts!I *may* have a thing about unicorns. I also may have a thing (that I only noticed when I was putting this post together) where I have to include the words 'Super Cute' in the title of pretty much every post about unicorns.To be honest, it's not really unicorns that I have a thing about, it's more the fact that you can go a bit mad with the pretty colours when you're making unicorn crafts and DIYs. I have a plan for a few more, including a unicorn sugar scrub and a unicorn smoothie but … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {26 July 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) You should know this by now but my favourite way to start a post is with a bunch of … [Read more...]
Homemade Smoothie Ice Lollies…
Today, I'm going to share some homemade smoothie ice lollies that I had no part in making at all. This is all on Master Frugal who made more smoothie than he meant to and decided to make some ice lollies with the leftovers rather than waste it.For most of the year, my smoothie maker is kept in the cupboard and usually used once or twice a week but during the Summer it lives on the counter because the kids will have a smoothie almost every day at some point. It used to cost a fortune but I think we've mastered it now with a drawer in the freezer entirely dedicated to … [Read more...]
