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) I think I mentioned last week that we're having a … [Read more...]

My Festival of Thrift Thrifty Haul 2018….
It's that time of year again!The Festival of Thrift is an annual festival held in the North East to celebrate sustainable living and for the last five years that I've been going, it's absolutely been my favourite day of the year.I love everything about it although it's really hard to describe it to people who've never been and I can never quite put into words what it is that I love about this event.
