Master Frugal is a huge wrestling fan so imagine how excited he was when we were asked if we wanted to go along to the Metro Arena in Newcastle on Thursday to watch WWE Live!From the day he found out we were going he was counting down the sleeps but, I think I was actually more excited than he was because I had a secret - I knew that the lovely, lovely people behind the WWE Live tour had arranged for him to meet one of the Superstars backstage. Honestly, it killed me not telling him but I knew if we managed to keep it a secret it would be such a great surprise.So we got there early on … [Read more...]

Homemade Doner Kebab {Slow Cooker} {Slimming World} {Fakeaway}….
Today I'm going to share with you my amazing homemade doner kebab recipe which I'm pretty sure you're going to love as much as we love! Mr Frugal is partial to the odd Doner Kebab - usually swimming in grease and smothered in garlic sauce - and without fail, he always regrets eating it within about an hour of finishing it.So, after hearing about a version of homemade Doner Kebab that you can make in the slow cooker I decided to give it a go and see if my own version could hit the spot like the greasy kebab shop version does.I looked at lots of different versions of this … [Read more...]
A Budget Bedroom Makeover for a 9 year old boy….
I briefly mentioned last week that Master Frugal has been unwell recently last week so I won’t go into it too much today other than to say that we've had his blood test results back and although they can't say what's wrong yet, they can say it's not one of the 'big' things that we were worrying about. We have to go back again for more tests in a couple of weeks but we're just happy at the moment that whatever it is isn't as bad as we thought it could be!In the meantime, we thought we'd try and help with his problem of getting to sleep at night by giving him a bit of a bedroom … [Read more...]

#SecondHandChristmas….
What are your thoughts on buying gifts for people from a charity shop?Personally, I have no problem with it and at least a few of the presents that will be wrapped up under the tree on Christmas morning will be second-hand.Don't get me wrong though - I'm very fussy about what I buy, especially when I'm buying gifts as I always like to buy something that I know the recipient will love. Something they'll know that I've put thought into and chosen because I know how much they'll like it.Not long ago I was asked to pop along to our local Salvation Army charity shop and see what I … [Read more...]
#FrugalGiftGuide – Tween and Teen Girls….
Like lots of people, I'm not as frugal at Christmas as I am throughout the rest of the year but I do like to make sure that I get the best deals possible and that the presents I buy aren't going to sit in a drawer or on a shelf gathering dust. I don't think you need to spend a lot at Christmas and I know it's not all about the presents but realistically all of us have gifts to buy for our loved ones and I wanted to share some ideas for some great gifts that I've come across. My first gift guide is aimed at people buying for girls from about Year 6 upwards and it's based on my experiences of … [Read more...]
