I had no idea how to defrost a freezer until this last couple of weeks and you know what, I'd really rather than I hadn't have had to have a crash course in the subject but seeing as I have, I thought I'd share my newfound knowledge with you!You might have seen recently that my fridge freezer decided to have a temporary fit which took a couple of weeks to fix as we needed a special part ordering in. When it was finally fixed, we decided to move all of the food from the other under-counter freezer in the kitchen into the newly fixed freezer so we could give the under-counter one a … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Minced Beef and Onions Recipe….
My slow cooker mince beef and onions recipe is definitely my most cooked recipe and I only just realised that I'd never shared it with you before - how odd is that? I thought I'd put that right today...Slow cooker mince beef and onions can be made into so many different meals - you can serve it with a jacket potato or some veg, with Yorkshire puddings, dumplings or roasties or make it into a pie with pastry or mash as a topping. It freezes so well that it's a perfect meal to batch cook and it's so easy to make that you can easily just throw it all in the slow … [Read more...]
This time last year…. LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood….
Hmmm, posts about LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood don't really belong on a blog about living a frugal lifestyle, do they?Up until recently, I did kind of agree with that sentiment so even though, we've had some AMAZING holidays over the last couple of years, I haven't really shared all that much on here with you. But, after my post earlier this month, I thought I'd share some photos from last year's trip to LA with you because it was a year ago today that Miss Frugal and I were enjoying the last day of our holiday of a lifetime.I feel like I can genuinely call it a holiday of … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did this week {22 November 2019}….
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 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. ;-)1) You might have read that this year, we're planning to have a much more relaxed … [Read more...]
Festive Homemade Air Plant Terrarium (AKA a plant in a jam jar)…
Remember how I said I was going to do more crafting in the run-up to Christmas? Well, this little homemade Air Plant Terrarium is the first thing I made after deciding that we were having a handmade Christmas. (I feel like I should probably say at this point that this is a super basic craft that you can make more complicated if you want depending on what you want to use to pop into your little terrarium. I almost feel bad calling it a terrarium. ;-)) I started with this little mini project because I really wanted to make something to get me going but obviously, it's way too early … [Read more...]
