Last weekend we decided to leave the kids at home in bed for a cheeky Sunday morning lie in and head to Wynyard Hall Gardens to have a look around as we keep hearing about how they're a lovely place to spend a few hours.I had a look on the website before we set off and found that there's lots to do there - there's a Walled Garden, a Marquee Garden, an Edible Garden, a Victorian-inspired Glasshouse, a little Farm Shop and a Café serving yummy looking homemade cake. I think it was the cake that swung it for Mr Frugal as he's not really a wander around a garden kind of guy - he says it … [Read more...]

The most amazing homemade Guacamole you’ve ever tasted….
We're pretty new to the trendy world of avocados and guacamole but I think you'll agree that we've caught up fast with this amazing homemade Guacamole!When Miss Frugal and I went to New York last month we discovered Chipotle which is a kind of fast food chain but the food is Mexican and honestly, the most amazing food I've had in a long time. We had it for lunch on three of the days we were there as we enjoyed it so much and it was really good value for money compared to some of the other things we could have chosen from.We're a bit gutted that there's not a Chipotle near us … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {5th May 2017}….
1) I had to cut the crusts off some bread on Sunday morning to make our favourite family treat breakfast - Nutella French Toast Roll Ups. Rather than waste the crusts, I've popped them in the freezer as I'll be making some homemade fishcakes next week (if I stick to the meal plan I have in mind) and the crusts will make great breadcrumbs to coat them in.2) I invested in some new microfiber cloths from B and Q which were a bargainous 3 for £1 (as they are in the pound shops I think). Microfiber cloths are honestly amazing and they're an essential part of my cleaning kit! They're so … [Read more...]
Three Prom dresses for under £7.50….
A couple of months ago I was sat with Miss Frugal watching a TV show about a group of girls getting ready for their proms and the cost of some of the dresses they were wearing was astronomical - I'm talking a month's worth of food shopping budget on the dress alone. By the time you add on the shoes, the bag and the professional hair and make up, you could probably pay for a family holiday!We have a good year or so left before we need to start thinking about prom and all that comes with it but I decided to prove to Miss Frugal that you don't need to spend a small fortune on a dress by … [Read more...]
The cheapest way I found to use my phone abroad….
Remember me telling you that I'd switched our phones to a pay as you go plan which was so much cheaper than we were previously paying? Did I also tell you that even though we got so much more data than we had before for less money, the 8GB of data we get can only be used in the UK? If we want to use our phone abroad then we can have 500GB a day for something like £5.00.That doesn't seem like a huge amount of data when you consider that I use Facetime to keep in touch with home and do plenty of Instagramming and Googling for directions and things nearby to do and see. Anything over the … [Read more...]
How I meal plan for my family when I won’t be here….
I learned last year when Miss Frugal and I went to Cyprus that if I don't write a meal plan for Mr and Master Frugal to follow while we're away without the, then they'll eat either basic meals like beans on toast or they'll simply get a takeaway - neither of which are ideal when we're away for 5 days.That's why I've spent this morning writing an easy meal plan for them for when we're away in New York next week and seeing as I've finished it, I thought I'd share it with you and tell you a little bit about why I've chosen the meals that I have....Before I started, I took into account … [Read more...]
