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. Before I start though, as always I feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)I've put together a bumper list of all my Frugal Christmas posts if … [Read more...]
Christmas Traditions even your teenagers will enjoy…
Are your teenagers too cool for lots of your Christmas traditions now? Mine too! Here's some Christmas traditions that even your teenagers will enjoy!Ever since we had kids, one of the best things about Christmas has always been the Christmas family traditions that we've either started as a new family or carried on from when Mr Frugal and I were children ourselves.Last year though, we really noticed a difference in the things that the kids wanted to do with us and some of the things we've done ever since they were toddlers didn't go down as well as they used … [Read more...]

How to say no at Christmas…
Today I'm sharing a few tips to help you decline Christmas party invites in a nice way without damaging your relationships with friends and family.If you're anything like me, the closer Christmas gets, the more invites start piling up for various different Christmas social events - there's the work Christmas party, the drinks after work with one group of friends, the night out in town with another group of friends, the meals out with friends you rarely see (sometimes with good reason) and even just the invites to pop round to friends and family's houses.Some I wouldn't miss for the … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things we did this week {29 November 2019}….
