5 frugal things I did this week

Well, this week has been frugal indeed!

We spent Sunday unable to get to food and drink festival as there was a road race and so we just wandered around the old part of our city reading about robin hood and exploring the castle walls. totally free and fabulous.

I veto-ed lunch out too insisting we had food at home needed eating up.

Savings on missing lunch and the event probably close to £80!

I have been so busy with work, the kids’ activities this week of the holidays have been home-based and cost-free in the most part – they have been playing music/board games/crafting and reading with stuff we already have. Nothing wrong with a bit of downtime and just the realities of life as a work at home mum.

I was all set to go school clothes shopping for my son this week when I realised he doesn’t actually need anything apart from some new stationery I’m not going to shop until he needs it – not just because of its back to school promo time

Last but not least I have had a massive clothes sort out. I was about to go shopping for me too as I have a few events in the upcoming weeks but actually, I need to save right now and really didn’t want to buy a new outfit. Having a sort out has helped me rediscover some clothes I have barely worn so that’s a great saving too!

It’s the little things isn’t it – they soon all add up!
