1) When I cleared out Master Frugal's room this week I realised that there was a huge amount of Lego that he never played with any more plus various other toys from other the years.   I made some of it into a pen pot holder to go on his desk and I'm so pleased with it. It was really easy to make - I just used a small flat Lego board from one of his kits and built up around it to the height I wanted which turned out to be 12 layers.2) We made our own Fathers Day cards using nothing but paper and sharpies - no special equipment or talent needed here. I can't reveal them before the big … [Read more...]

I'm not sure if I can class this week as a frugal week if I'm honest as I've had so much on that I don't think I've had the chance to be particularly thrifty....1) I went out for a meal to Pizza Express on Wednesday night with my lovely team at work which you might think would have been an expensive night out but actually, we used buy one get one free vouchers for the pizzas (just Google pizza express vouchers and see what comes up) and I drank water rather than buying a drink.  To be fair, the water was more of an accident as I had a slightly sore throat so I asked for a glass of water … [Read more...]

1) On Tuesday we decided to have lazy tea instead of what we had planned so we used some naan breads from the freezer that I'd bought for 9p, a pathetic looking green pepper, the last of the leftover ham from our Sunday dinner and some pepperoni that Mr Frugal bought on his way home from work to make some cheap but very delicious pizzas.Even the cheese was frugal as I'd bought a bag of pizza cheese a while ago and portioned it up to pizza sizes for the freezer. Miss Frugal isn't a cheese fan usually but she does like pizza cheese and she loves the odd homemade pizza so I try to always … [Read more...]
