Mr Frugal was having a read through of my blog last night and he made me smile when he said how frugal I sounded from all my frugal posts this month and he wondered what you would think of some of the very un-frugal things that I choose to spend some of the money I save on.He said that some of you would be very un-impressed with some of the things I spend my money but I think he's wrong. I said you would understand that one of the reasons that I choose to be frugal in some areas of my life is so that I can be un-frugal in others.Let's see what you think of some of the un-frugal things … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {24 February 2017}….
1) Don't judge me but I went to see the new Fifty Shades of Grey film last week with my lovely friend. We could have gone to the big cinema in the next town and watched the film in comfort when the film was released but we decided to wait a bit longer and go to our local cinema which is ridiculously cheap compared to the bigger chains.It's such a pretty little family run cinema and it's had a recent refurb with new chairs so it was so comfortable and well worth the ticket price. They do drinks and snacks from a cute little stand and the costs aren't any higher than you'd pay in a … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {17 February 2017}….
1) Remember when I made frugal french dip sandwiches a couple of weeks ago? They were totally amazing and highly recommended but my first frugal thing is to do with the leftover meat than the sandwiches themselves.One joint of brisket made more than enough for our sandwiches with plenty of leftovers so I popped the meat we didn't eat into a freezer bag (the IKEA ones are brilliant - cheap, strong and reusable) and popped it in the freezer. Last weekend, we thought we'd get the brisket out and see what it was like heated up for our Sunday Dinner and it was so delicious. I love the … [Read more...]

1) This is less frugal and more sensible I think but let's go with it! I went to pay some cheques in to the bank this week and out of interest, asked when they would be cleared. In no way did I indicate that I needed the money or that I was desperate for the funds to clear but the lady typed a few things into her little computer and then said 'Not until next Wednesday but I can increase your overdraft by £2000 for you no problem at all'.Really??? I just laughed and said no thank you at the time which I'm proud of as I do like the security of having an overdraft and in the past I would have … [Read more...]
65 Free or Frugal Valentines Gift ideas for the one you love….
I love the idea of Valentines Day as a day to celebrate your love but I really don't think all of the commercialisation of the day is necessary. Almost as soon as Christmas was over, the shops were stocking up on all things pink and red in preparation for the day when couples feel almost obligated to buy something that costs more than it should just because it's pink, red or has a heart on it to show how much they love their partner.Don't get me wrong, we did the whole Valentine's gift thing the first few years that we were together but these days, we make our presents more about the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {3 February 2017}….
1) This week we've saved some money on our broadband and TV package just by ringing and asking if there was a better deal available for us. I've written a separate post on this but basically we're stuck with the same provider as they're the only ones who do the superfast broadband which is pretty much an essential with a teen, a tween, a gamer and a blogger in the house. The company know they're the only ones who supply this at the moment so it does hamper our negotiating ability a little. ;-)We have the smallest TV package available so that kind of counteracts the price of the broadband … [Read more...]
