Today I'm sharing the next post in my 'What we ate in a week' series!The plan with these posts is that I start writing this post the Monday before you read it each month and just update it each night with a photo of what we had for our tea that day. It worked pretty well so far so let's see if I'm as good this time... MondayI was a bit late in from work tonight so Miss Frugal was in charge of tea! She made chicken salad with boiled eggs which we ate served in wraps! TuesdayChicken Fajitas are a regular feature on our weekly menu these days but tonight Mr Frugal made … [Read more...]
25 ways to use up bananas….
One question that I've seen come up at least three or four times in our Facebook group is the question of how to use up bananas so today I thought I'd share a few ideas!Bananas are one of those things that I buy every single week when I do my food shopping. We all love them and as well as eating them just as they come, we also use them for everything from mashed on toast to sliced up on porridge.The problem is when they go from lovely bright yellow to brown speckled because the kids have a thing about eating them when they start to go like this (as do I if I'm honest). … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {23rd March 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.1) I made a huge (and I mean huge) batch of chilli last weekend with the intention of us having chilli and rice on Saturday night and then freezing the rest in batches so we had plenty in. I find chilli to be really versatile as it goes with rice and pasta, is great as a topping on jacket potatoes or potato wedges, works brilliantly on nachos and is perfect just on its own in a … [Read more...]
Forced Positivity Online….
Today's post is about forced positivity online which is a roundabout way of saying that it's about how some bloggers (and vloggers) only share the positive parts of their lives. Does that mean they're not being real with their followers or simply that they're choosing to only share what they're comfortable with sharing?A few months ago now I was pottering about making the tea and I overheard some snippets of a YouTube video that one of the kids was watching and it made me think.It was about whether YouTubers were forcing positivity on their viewers or whether they were portraying … [Read more...]
How YouTube can save you money….
I used to think YouTube was just for the kids to learn how to build things in Minecraft but when I was off work poorly a while ago, I realised that was most definitely not the case!I couldn't even begin to imagine how many videos are available to watch on YouTube but I do know that whatever your interests are - there's going to be something on there for you.I started watching YouTube when I was off work because I was lonely through the day when everyone was at work and school andI'm not a big TV watcher so we don't have a TV in our bedroom. I started watching lots of photography … [Read more...]
11 Incredible Infused Water Recipes….
Today I have 11 Incredible Infused Water Recipes for you to use to liven up your water!I'll be honest, I'm not a water infusion kind of drinker!I'm more of a tap water drinker and could easily drink pints of it every day but Miss Frugal is a whole different kettle of fish. She prefers to drink bottled water or make her own fruit infusions which she assures me are very popular these days although I'll have to take her word for it.She's on a mission to convert me because infused water is the future apparently but some of the combinations she's made me try have not been nice at … [Read more...]
