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. Hey! 👐1) I didn't bother with a Sunday dinner on Sunday as I had some meatballs in the freezer so I made a pasta bake with them and my homemade tomato sauce. It was lovely and there was so much leftover that we ended up having it for tea on Monday night too with the addition of a couple of slices of homemade garlic bread.I do try to make extra when I … [Read more...]
The best essential oils for sleep…
Today I'm sharing the best essential oils for sleep, some different ways to incorporate them into your bedtime routine, and why I'm a fan of using them.I struggle to switch off when I go to bed at night so I have a few things that I do before I go to bed to help me relax which in turn usually helps me to get off to sleep a bit quicker.First up, I do use a homemade sleep spray to spray on my pillows as I'm getting ready for bed. I spritz the pillows as I'm putting my pyjamas on so it's settled ready for when I get into bed. I use a couple of different essential oils for this and do … [Read more...]
Do this before EVERY online purchase you make….
I think lots of us are shopping online more and more these days so I thought it might be useful to share the things I do before every online purchase to make sure I'm getting the best deal for me.Before I start with the things that I do to make sure that I'm getting what I want for the best deal out there, I do just want to say one thing that I do try to do which doesn't always save me money with smaller items. I try and see if there's a small business, preferably local who I can buy the same thing for a similar cost - I'm not going to pay a lot extra but if I can buy from a … [Read more...]

Honestly, it was almost unrecognisable from the shop bought versions I'd tried previously so I decided to have a go at making my own at the last minute.My first … [Read more...]
Homemade Gingerbread Wreath….
Last year, Master Frugal made the most amazing homemade Gingerbread wreath at school and it looked amazing! It looked that good that when I shared a photo of it on Instagram, I got about ten DMs asking me to blog about it. I tend to shut my laptop over Christmas though so I never got around to sharing it - until now!I'm resharing this today as I've just made some homemade gingerbread biscuits using this recipe and have had a couple of DMs asking for the recipe. This is our tweaked recipe from the version they made at school - ours has more ginger in as we love it and we … [Read more...]
The BEST Christmas Playlist…
Are you ready for the best Christmas playlist ever?I love the build-up to Christmas more than I love the day itself - the anticipation, the get-togethers with family and friends, the fun activities, the Christmas movies, and listening to the cheesy Christmas songs that I have on my Christmas playlist. And they are super cheesy! But a kind of a modern take on super cheesy as I've got more modern artists singing some of the classics that I enjoy listening to in the run-up to Christmas which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea but I prefer them personally so I'm hoping that at … [Read more...]
