1) Miss Frugal's phone bill with Giff Gaff is getting cheaper every month! When we were with EE she was running out of data (on a 4GB a month plan) within the first two weeks of the month. We switched to Giff Gaff and went with the £20 a month unlimited package with is 6GB or superfast data and unlimited 3G data after that's gone and thought that would do us. We told her to always connect to wifi when she could and to be sensible with her usage when she wasn't on wifi (no videos etc) and would you believe it? She actually listened!After two months we dropped the package down to the 4GB … [Read more...]

Five Frugal Things we did in Nice and Monaco {13th October 2017}….
If you follow my Instagram feed or read last week's five frugal things post then you'll know that we've been away for a cheeky family break to Nice and Monaco so as I did when we went to New York and Milan,this week's post is going to be dedicated to five frugal things we did in Nice and Monaco.1) When we checked in to our hotel, the lovely receptionist handed us a huge stack of tours and trips that they could book us on to if we wanted to do some sightseeing. I'd been googling for the last week so whilst I had definite plans for what we were going to be doing, I had no intention of … [Read more...]
How to make a handbag from a skirt or a pair of shorts….
You probably all know by now that I'm handbag mad so today's tutorial on how to make a handbag from a skirt or a pair of shorts was just up my street!I first saw a more complicated version of this idea to make a handbag from a skirt a good few months ago on Pinterest and decided to have a go at making a more simplified version of my own. I went on a charity shop expedition to search for what I was after and got everything in one trip for a total of £3.50. Then I completely forgot about it after I tidied the things I'd bought away into the black hole that is my 'must make for the … [Read more...]
I’m not here today….
** This post was sponsored by Tesco Bank but all ideas and tips are my own**Autumn is probably one of my favourite times of the year for getting outside and doing things with the kids.

Obviously, me being me, I try to find things for us to do that aren’t going to cost much, if anything at all, so when the lovely guys from Tesco Bank asked me to share some frugal ideas for Autumn Family Fun, I had plenty! 😉Here’s a few frugal family fun things that are on … [Read more...]
This is why your next hoover should NOT be a Dyson….
Lots of people swear by their Dyson and whenever they buy a new hoover, the Dyson range is the first (and often only) place that they will look. I used to be a Dyson fan too, until I tried a Shark hoover!We first reviewed a Shark hoover last year when we reviewed the Shark Lift Away Hoover (which is actually reduced to £179.99 on Amazon right now aff link). I struggled to see how it could possibly be better than the hoover we had at the time and almost said no to the review for that reason - until I saw the brilliant reviews of it on Amazon!I absolutely loved our Shark hoover … [Read more...]
Why I’m proud that my teenager has two designer handbags….
I thought long and hard about whether to post this because I know some of you will be shaking your head right now and thinking how bad it is that my teenage daughter has two designer handbags. I bet lots of you will have your finger hovering over the cross on the right hand side of the page ready to move on to something that really is frugal rather than this 'waste of money' and that's OK.But I'd rather you stayed to listen to why I'm proud and why it really isn't a bad thing.((This post may contain affiliate links - I'm just putting it out there so you know.
