Well I am back from my holiday and normal service ressumes. You may have spotted we have a new puppy and it has certainly made getting over the holiday blues much easier. You can follow me on Instagram for lots of puppy spam!
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done This Week Linky:
- Firstly we needed some bits for the puppy including a crate. I posted on a facebook selling site hoping to get one second hand. A friend actually contacted me as she had one I can use. Result!
- I am shopping at Aldi for fruit and veg. I don’t do the weekly shop but I am on a health kick and I know Aldi is great value so I am trying it all out. Did you know this week is also the Aldi’s Baby and Toddler Event.
- Getting the children kitted out for school can be expensive but I have shown how Sports Direct has Back to School Essential including Kickers for less than you would expect.
- More puppy toys and puppy pads were gotten from Poundland who have a great selection for very little. I recently met up with Poundland and will be collaborating with them in the near future.
- We are also using this holiday time to have a big clear out. We have already sold some bits on Facebook and have more to list on Ebay today.

New pets seem to encourage new spending! Even where Hamsters are concerned!!

I can see the puppy costing a bit of money. Did you sort out insurance yet? Essential but expensive 🙁
