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, I do want to 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 - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) It was Miss Frugal's 16th Birthday last Sunday and … [Read more...]

Ten ways to reduce food waste NOW….
I first published this post five years ago but when I sat down tonight to write a whole new post about how to reduce food waste, it felt a bit like deja vu and then I remembered this post and thought it would be easier just to give that a polish up and and share it again rather than write a whole new post!We all know that we shouldn't waste food, don't we?But are we all actively taking steps to make sure that we don't actually do it?In the UK alone we throw away about 15 million tonnes of food waste a year and just in case you've never really thought about it before, you're not … [Read more...]
September 2018 Goals….
Oh my goodness, this year is just flying by, isn't it?I feel like this year has been a bit life-changing for me and, although I'm not going to get too deep today, I've spent a lot of time over the last few months reflecting on my life and trying to decide what I want and where I want to be.I've also spent time with Mr Frugal discussing what we want, as individuals, as a couple and as a family and for the first time since we got married, we actually have a life plan. We actually have specific goals that we want to achieve and ideas on how we're going to get there and that feels … [Read more...]
Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa….
This Chilli, Mango and Lime Salsa is amazing and is a super fresh alternative to traditional tomato-based salsa.Miss Frugal is a huge mango and avocado fan so they're always top of my list when I go shopping. She's not been feeling that great over the last couple of days so when I went to make tea last night, I realised that there was a mango and an avocado left in there that were about to reach that stage where they're past their best.I was making cajun chicken for tea so I thought I'd make some sort of salsa with them as I had a couple of tired looking spring onions in too and I … [Read more...]
How to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker….
Have you ever wondered how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker? To be honest, I probably don't need a whole post to tell you how to cook a whole chicken in the slow cooker, I could probably fit everything you need to know in a tweet. ;-)But seeing as we've just polished off our Sunday dinner made up of slow cooker chicken, Yorkshire puds and veg I thought I'd tell you how I cooked our chicken today.Before I do though, I will say that this isn't my favourite way to cook chicken because it literally cooks it so melt in your mouth soft that it tends to fall apart when you … [Read more...]
