Friday has rolled around again and I have more of my money saving tips and tricks to keep you saving the pennies! I have written this week about Easy Side Hustles that can make you several hundred pounds a month. These are all things that can be completed in your spare time. After the Boots sale didn’t go to 70% as expected last Friday I am wondering if it will happen today. Unfortunately, I won’t be there to see as I am helping out on a school trip to London.
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done This Week
- I paid for Chloe to travel home to University first class. Now, this might not sound very frugal at all but it is! It was actually only £5 more than a standard ticket and she gets her food and drink included. A meal deal would have cost that much so it was a no brainer to make the most of first class! It is always worth looking especially when buying single train tickets. Did you know it is often better to get single tickets, never automatically buy the return!
- Everyone is on a cleaning phase thanks to Marie Kondo and Mrs Hinch however there are plenty of ways to clean for less and my Household tips for clever cleaning shares how you can clean the way your grandma would have!
- I have been making my healthy shakes with protein powder, frozen berries and spinach rather than buying premade shakes which are much more expensive. I use protein shakes now as part of my high protein diet.
- I have had my thread and needle out this week as my 14 year old seems to be splitting his trousers on a weekly basis! He has never had this issue before and I am buying the same trousers as always for school as he is a fussy thing! However they are ripping but I’ll sew rather than buy more!
- Finally I have discovered a whole new wardrobe of clothes for free. I’m pleased to say this is because due to my love of the gym I have lost weight and can now get back into lots of my old clothes! win win!

I’m linking up with Cass, Emma and Becky in this week’s ‘Five Fabulously Frugal things I’ve done this week linky.
Every week we share five frugal things that we’ve done during that 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. We’d love you to link up with us and show us what you’ve been doing.
Well done on the decluttering and the new wardrobe – love it when that happens and you can fit back into stuff that you love!
Ah, getting back into things you used to fit is a great feeling, well done! And great bargain on the train ticket, excellent advice.
