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.We were on holiday for half the week this week so my … [Read more...]
How to make a wonderful school memories book for your children….
I read a conversation somewhere on line yesterday where a Mum was asking how people store their children's artwork and other special things that they make and it reminded me of this post so I thought I'd give it a quick dust off and rehare it with you because I used to hoard their creations so much that I had boxes full of it.For years we had an ever-changing art gallery on the kitchen walls which was so popular when I posted about it that we were featured in a newspaper sharing our little gallery with the world.We'd stick up the new art and put what we took down in our art box but … [Read more...]
My secret to packing my carry-on bag for flights….
If all goes well, as you read this I will have just taken off on our family Summer holiday so I thought I'd do a kind of 'what's in my hand luggage' kind of a post today.First up, my bag is genuinely my husband's worst nightmare as it doesn't have a secure fastening and he's convinced someone is going to help themselves to everything that's in there which is why I'm not allowed custody of the tickets, passport or money. I'm only allowed my Macbook as it's got things on top of it so it's almost impossible to steal that without a good rummage around in there. Also, it's hidden at the … [Read more...]
Is FOMO messing with your budget?
FOMO = Fear of missing out!FOMO might be an acronym that many of us had to Google in order to understand what on earth our children were talking about (or is that just me?) but it's actually a very real thing that may have been messing with your budget for years.Let's look at a couple of examples so you see what I mean...A group of your friends are going to the cinema to see a film and out for a meal or drink afterwards. You're a bit skint but don't want to be the only one going so you go along even though you could really use the money elsewhere.Your friend's hen night … [Read more...]
Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa….
This Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa is amazing and is a super fresh alternative to traditional tomato-based salsa.Miss Frugal is a huge mango and avocado fan so they're always top of my list when I go shopping. She's not been feeling that great over the last couple of days so when I went to make tea last night, I realised that there was a mango and an avocado left in there that were about to reach that stage where they're past their best.I was making cajun chicken for tea so I thought I'd make some sort of salsa with them as I had a couple of tired looking spring onions in too and I … [Read more...]
