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) We have a prom dress! I repeat we actually have a prom dress and shock horror, … [Read more...]

Five Days in New York on a budget – Day 4….
So far, I've shared what we did on the first three days of our budget trip to New York and today, I'm going to share our last full day with you. Trust me, it was a good day!Seeing as we did more than we'd expected on day 2, we'd actually ticked just about everything off of our New York bucket list by this point so I decided to go with plan b for today which was to head to the American Museum of Natural History.I was convinced the kids would love it as it looked like so much fun in the Night at the Museum films so, despite their protests, I put my foot down and told them we were … [Read more...]
Five Days in New York on a budget – Day 1….
If you follow me over on Instagram then you'll know that right now, I'm in New York with the kids.I've mentioned a couple of times that I'm a bit of a strict budget and so many of you have messaged me to ask me what we're getting up to if I don't have much money to spend so I thought I'd share our days with you.Before I do though, for those of you who don't know, we booked this trip last minute after a few life dramas last year, we paid for it using money we'd saved for a boiler in our Emergency Fund (I know, not the cleverest thing to do) and we didn't really have much time to … [Read more...]
There’s still plenty of time to declutter before Christmas….
I can't believe it's the 1st of December already!This means that I'm having my annual 'we have too much stuff and can't possibly fit any more into the house' panic which means that I'm currently mid-way through my annual declutter before Christmas!My yearly stress is a good thing though because I can get rid of some things we don't need any more and make some money at the same time! It’s such a great feeling to rid yourself of unwanted items, whether it’s a jumper you haven’t worn in years, shoes that you thought would be trendy (but definitely weren’t a few months later), or an … [Read more...]
Confessions of a Money Blogger….
This may come as a surprise (not) but I'm far from perfect when it comes to money saving! (Actually, this probably isn't a surprise to regular readers ;-))I had a chat with Miss Frugal this weekend about social media and one of the things I said to her was that the people she follows on Instagram who look perfect and put together most likely aren't. I explained to her that they only share what they want you to see and although that doesn't make them 'fake', it does mean that their life probably isn't as amazing as you might think it is from looking at the photos … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {10 August 2018}….
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) My favourite way to start these posts on a Friday … [Read more...]
