Over the years we've had all sorts of different advent calendars from the usual chocolate kind to the more exciting Lego or beauty calendars but this year I wanted to try a bit of an alternative advent calendar.I wanted to make an advent calendar that was all about experiences rather than things, just like we tried to do with Christmas last year where we gave the kids a mix of actual presents and presents that involved an experience of some kind. The experiences we gave them, especially Master Frugal's, were so much fun and they appreciated them more than most of the presents they … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {4th November 2016}….
1) This first one is a total cheat as I did it ages ago but I never told you so I'm going to tell you about it today. When I found out I was going to need an operation I bought a three months pre-paid prescription certificate because I had a good few weeks to wait to see the specialist, then there was the wait for the operation itself and then the recovery period. After speaking to the Doctor, I knew there was a good chance I would need a few different prescriptions so I went for it and splashed out just short of £30 for three months. In that time, I think I've had 7 or 8 different tablets … [Read more...]
How to clean your house FAST….
I'm not a fan of housework in any form but I do like to live in a tidy house so over the years I've so many blog posts and watched so many YouTube videos with people sharing their 'How to clean your house fast' tips that I should be an expert.I've tried cleaning schedules, daily routines, and all manner of systems but the only thing that works for me is a weekly focus on just getting the job done. After trying everything, I've come to the conclusion that there aren't any real shortcuts or life hacks that are going to help me if I want a genuinely clean house and I'm not disciplined … [Read more...]

Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {21st October 2016}….
1) Last weekend Miss Frugal and I had a DIY day which basically consisted of me sitting at the table with my camera while she did all of the work, making everything from bath bombs to our homemade bird feeder and from Chocolate chip banana bread to copycat caramel macchiatos. I've got so many posts to share with you over the next few weeks filled with inspiration for homemade Christmas presents but more than that we spent some lovely time together which hasn't happened much lately while I've been ill.2) I have made a definite dent in my Christmas shopping and bought a couple of gifts … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {14th October 2016}….
I'm not going to lie, it's been difficult to be anything but thrifty this week as I've spent most of it in bed recovering from my operation last week but I think I've got enough to get to five.... Maybe. ;-)1) Mr Frugal has been wanting to pre-order a game for his PS4 for the last few months and I've been putting him and trying to delay it as I HATE that games are so expensive. It's not even like we could shop around for this one as the one he's after is a pre-order online with Playstation and you get loads of extras by pre-ordering. Grrrrrr!I managed to save a little by buying … [Read more...]
