Remember my zesty coconut and lime sugar scrub? I loved that combination so much that I've got a matching zesty coconut and lime soap to share with you today!We've totally streamlined the toiletries and lots of the things we no longer use have been replaced by homemade products (not all but some :-)) and soaps are one of these things.Since I discovered how easy it was to make my own soap I've made a couple of different versions - honey and oatmeal and coconut scrub soaps have been my favourite so far but actually, I think this one has beaten them both! It's so light and … [Read more...]

Amazing Frugal and Free Fathers Day Gift…. {Free Printable}
Today I wanted to share with you how to use my Christmas Family Traditions Poster Maker to make an amazing frugal and free Fathers Day Gift.If the Dad in your life is anything like Mr Frugal, he'll pretty much buy himself the things he needs as and when he needs them and don't really want 'stuff' for the sake of giving a gift on Fathers Day.In the past, we've always felt like we needed to buy him something so we've ended up buying something just for the sake of it and although, he's always grateful for whatever we give him I know he would have quite happily not had a gift.So … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {14 June 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) It's Fathers Day on Sunday here in the UK so I've tasked the kids with thinking … [Read more...]

This homemade Chicken Shawarma is going to be your new favourite fakeaway whether you're on Slimming World or you're just looking for a budget-friendly delicious alternative to a takeaway. My family enjoy it more than they like our fakeaway doner kebab!A little while ago, I bought a ready mixed spice blend for chicken shawarma which gave our chicken the most amazing flavour but when we ran out, I decided that I'd have a go at making my own. It worked out pretty good if I do say so myself and now that I've made it a couple of times, I thought it was time to share my secret … [Read more...]
