1) Miss Frugal is going out for afternoon tea with her friends at the end of the month and they've all been talking about what they're going to wear for weeks. I promised Miss Frugal a new dress as she doesn't really have any nice dresses that fit her anymore after a little growth spurt over the Summer - she'd quite happily wear all of her favourites as they do fit her but they're a lot shorter than they used to be so I thought a new dress was definitely in order.She went shopping with her friends and couldn't find anything she liked for under £25 which was the budget I gave her so when … [Read more...]
A handy list of some of the most popular eBay outlet shops….
I've been a fan of the eBay outlet shops since I bought a laptop from the Argos outlet store as it was such good value at the time. It was a model that I couldn't find in the catalogue at the time but all the specs looked good and it was a good £100 cheaper than the models I was looking at in shops and anywhere else online.It was so much cheaper in fact that I was a bit (a lot) suspicious of how it could be so cheap and I'd pretty much decided before it was even delivered that this would be my last purchase from any of the eBay outlet shops. I had myself convinced that it would be broken … [Read more...]
Do you have a Christmas Cupboard….
Do you have a Christmas cupboard?We do, because as much as I say that you don't need to spend a fortune on extra food and drink over Christmas and that a giant tub of Twiglets is never a good idea, even if it's in a Christmassy box, I am partial to the odd food and drink treat over the festive period.Rather than do a big Christmas shop right before Christmas and spend a fortune on the treats we all like for Christmas, I have a Christmas cupboard (actually, it's a huge bag on top of the fridge but we'll call it a Christmas cupboard as everyone else I know who does this has an actual … [Read more...]
WWE Live at Newcastle….
A couple of years ago we were invited along to one of the WWE Live events at Newcastle Metro Arena and although I was most definitely not a fan of wrestling, Master Frugal was so obviously I couldn't say no.On the night of the event, we headed to the Arena with me feeling more than a little smug about how good a parent I was being- sacrificing an evening of binge watching whatever the latest thing was on Netflix to take my boy to see some of the big name stars he loved watching on TV.What happened next was as big a shock to me as it was to everyone else who knows me - I absolutely … [Read more...]
Homemade Candy Cane Vodka….
A few years ago I had a go at making Skittles Vodka and the result was amazing!This Christmas I seem to have developed a Pinterest inspired candy cane obsession so I thought I'd have a go at making candy cane vodka to see if it could top the skittles version.It was actually easier to make than the skittles vodka as there was no faffing about with separating the colours or straining the drink before it was ready to serve and it has a lovely Christmassy flavour. It also looks very pretty and would make a lovely gift for someone who enjoys the odd tipple at Christmas.I got my bottle … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {18th November 2016}….
1) I've finally mastered the art of remembering to take my own bags to the shop with me! I know, it's not exactly difficult but I can't tell you the amount of times that I've forgotten and ended up either buying a bag or struggling to the car with a handful of things. I think I've managed three weeks of remembering now so I thought I'd share it with you today. I will say that the thing that finally did it for me was buying one of those fold into itself shopper bags which I keep in my handbag now. As soon as I unpack it, I fold it up and put it back in there so I always have it with me.2) … [Read more...]
