1) I've been after some houseplants for a while now, nothing fancy, just something small to go on my kitchen windowsill. I don't have a great record with plants to be honest though so I really didn't want to pay too much but at the same time I wanted something that would look nice - I don't want much, do I?I found two little plants at Tesco last week though in the reduced section. They were clearly in the reduced section because they looked past the point of saving but at 25p each, I thought I'd buy them and see if I could bring them back from the dead. I decided it was highly unlikely but … [Read more...]
Five places to buy designer handbags for less….
OK, you might not think that a blog about frugal living isn't the best place for a post about how to buy designer handbags for less and to a certain extent, I agree. But....The reason I'm sharing this post with you today is because, to me, being frugal is all about making the best of what you have and getting the best deals for everything you buy. If you want to buy a designer handbag and you can afford it then that's brilliant and I want to show you where you can get designer handbags for less.I've always had a weakness for handbags although I don't make frivolous purchases … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did in the Isle of Wight {11th August 2017}….
Last week we had a week away in the Isle of Wight where, despite the rain and the wind which was ridiculous at times, we had an amazing week.

It’s not easy cooking for five in a small, not very well equipped caravan kitchen but we’ve tried our best and … [Read more...]
Small things that make me smile {August 2017}….
The last 12 months haven't been easy for us as a family - first I spent the last half of last year feeling less than brilliant and then this year there's been such a lot going on that I've been ridiculously stressed about. I think things are starting to sort themselves out now so I'm ready to share a little bit about what's been going on although I'm probably not going to go into much detail - I will say that after a lot of tears (from me), shouting (from my usually lovely Dad) and hugs (from Mr Frugal and the kids) my now lovely again Dad is living in a care home as it's clear that … [Read more...]

Easy muffin recipe – perfect for whatever flavour muffins you’re making….
I've decided toshare my super easy muffin recipe with you again today because (a) I've just made a new batch of these muffins and loved them, and (b) I just got an email from a lovely reader saying she's made a batch too and loved them!I have a basic easy muffin recipe that I always stick to and I just add different bits and bobs to the mix depending on what sort of muffins I am making - the batch I made today were blueberry muffins using a couple of handfuls of frozen blueberries but I often chop up a chocolate bar or mash some mashed banana and cinnamon up to add in, both of which … [Read more...]
