What a lovely couple of days weather we have been having. At home, we are slowly adjusting to our eldest heading to University and how quiet it has left the house. I have also noticed that the food is lasting much longer as a result!
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done Linky
- Firstly I started group training at Iron Zuu a few months back, whilst at first glance it can seem pricey at £89 per month it is great value for money. If you compare the cost with a gym you may think it is quite a bit but when you understand what that membership offers you, it is staggering! Small group training is equivalent to having a personal trainer several times a week. Once paid up you can go to as many sessions as you want and there are at least three a day. I have lost 10lbs in three weeks to and that is priceless for me!!
- As part of my new healthy approach, I have reduced my alcohol intake massively which is saving me money.
- Using TopCashback this week has saved me money again, I genuinely do not understand why anyone would not use TopCashback when purchasing things online. I have received over £300 in cash back this year just for clicking through when making purchases! If you are not registered – do it now by clicking on the advert below.
- Beauty Advent calendars are big news if you like trying different products. Many of them hold double the value of products than they cost. This year I am buying Advent Calendars from Boots as many are on 3 for 2 and they also have a great range which you can see by clicking this link. I have also popped my name on the reserve list for the No7 Beauty Calendar that costs £42 but has products inside worth £177!!! Quite frankly you would be mad not to!
- Finally, I have also shared Eco-Friendly Ways To Save Money which we should all be trying to implement. I have become aware of just how much plastic we use and I am taking steps to reduce this as a family.

I’m linking up with Cass , Emma and Becky in this week’s ‘Five Fabulously Frugal things I’ve done this week linky.
I think I’ll be saving some money (and calories) by cutting down on my alcohol intake over the next couple of months too. I’m also trying to lose weight and drinking wine every weekend certainly isn’t helping me! You’re doing an amazing job! As always, frugality is about value which you certainly seem to be getting from the workouts. 🙂
I’m with you on cutting down on the booze. I’m a gin drinker, just one g&t is about 300 calories. That’s a meal!
Good luck.
Love the blog BTW!
