You might have read in a post recently that I've signed up for a regular vegetable box delivery with a local company which is something I've wanted to do for ages. The main reason I kept putting it off was that I didn't know if I'd be able to incorporate all the vegetables we got into meals - I worried that I'd end up wasting food which is totally against what I wanted.It hasn't been that way at all though and with a lot of creative thinking, we've used up everything (apart from the three corn on the cobs that I gave away) so today, I thought I'd show you a few of the meals we've cooked … [Read more...]

How we reduced our water comsumption….
Over the years, our water bill seems to have got progressively higher and I think I accepted the increases thinking that it was something I had little control over. Don't get me wrong, I did a few of the obvious things to reduce the water we use (no hosepipe use, only washing a full load, no dishwasher, water saving devices in the toilets are the main changes) but it never really made much of a difference to the amount we were charged on our bill so I just continued as we were and accepted that our bill was always going to be a bit higher than I would have liked it to be.Then … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did this week {26 October 2018}….
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, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) I'm not sure if you've ever read my post … [Read more...]
