I'm sure I've mentioned this before but Miss Frugal is a Pinterest and YouTube fiend! She loves to find DIY ideas for us to try out at home and although some of them turn out to be total fails, some turn out really well and we end up doing them again.This thrifty avocado and banana hair mask started out as one of her Pinterest finds and is now something we make regularly although we only ever make it with avocados that we find reduced as it wouldn't be too thrifty if we used a full price avocado!

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.

Delicious White Chocolate Chip Cookies….
I'm a huge fan of getting kids in the kitchen and teaching them to cook but from my own experience, the recipes they cook need to be fun, at least to start with. This recipe for my amazing white chocolate cookies is ideal because it's fun, easy to make and the results are brilliant.I haven't had too much time to experiment with new recipes lately so I've had to make do with dusting off some of our old favourites. This weekend, we made some of these lovely squidgy white chocolate chip cookies for the first time in ages and judging by how quickly they disappeared, it won't be long … [Read more...]
