Every week (ish) I share five frugal things that I've done during the previous 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. Hey! 👐1) Last Saturday's planned tea was BBQ pulled pork with jacket potatoes.A few years ago, I would have 100% cooked this meal from scratch but over the last few years I've got more and more relaxed with my meal planning and the last couple of times we've had pulled pork, I've actually bought it ready made from the shop.

#OldSchool Meal Planning Monday {10th March 2025}….
As part of my frugal reset, I'm going to share my weekly meal plan on here for a couple of weeks - maybe longer depending on how much I enjoy writing these posts and if I feel like I need the accountability that I get from sharing something with you all!I've been meal planning again for a couple of weeks now and I'm starting to get everyone on board which is making it easier to stick to. It helps that I try and include meals that I know everyone enjoys and I focus on that more than choosing cheaper meals if that makes sense.
