Every week (ish) I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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! 
It's been an AMAZING week this week for moneysaving! 1) The fixed rate on my mortgage ended a little while ago and I know this is a bad thing, a really bad thing but I let it move over to the standard variable rate.

Why I needed a frugal reset….
I wanted to share a little bit today about why I’ve had to give myself a bit of a shake recently and really reflect on my ‘frugal’ lifestyle. A bit of background first… I have a full time job which is reasonably well paid, the only debt that I have is my mortgage and I like to think I’m pretty savvy so have always had good deals on most of our monthly bills (energy, broadband, insurance etc).So in theory, I can afford to not be frugal.

The Cost of Eye Health Issues (And Tips to Manage Your Family’s Vision)….
Eye health is costing the UK a hefty sum each year. The AOP predicts a 25% rise in common eye conditions over the next decade, resulting in more ophthalmic spending. Optometry investment could then reap ₤98 million in annual benefits to the NHS, with primary eye care delivering ₤3.98 of value for every ₤1 spent by the health services.These numbers may be a sight for sore eyes to many individuals dealing with vision issues, so it’s worth looking into the common causes of eye health problems and what families can do to treat, manage, and prevent costly conditions. The cost of eye issues for … [Read more...]
