Five fabulously frugal things I’ve done this week – 10th August 2018

I’ve been using Plum to skim my bank account each week. It’s going really well actually, I’m surprised that I don’t even notice the money that’s been automatically saved for me.
A few weeks a go I mentioned that I google ‘Tesco coupon codes’ when I do my online shopping. This week I got a free bag of walkers sensations and a bottle of Comfort Perfume Deluxe fabric softener for £1.50.
I’ve been getting back into cooking from scratch again and this week I made these delicious flatbreads. We had them for tea with leftover roast chicken and salad to make a kind of kebab/wrap style meal. There was enough leftover to have for lunch the next day, we can’t get enough of them.
We have planned another fakeaway night on Saturday so we have a £4 Indian meal for 2 from Tesco in the fridge ready to go. We really enjoy these meals just as much as a takeaway and they’re so easy just to chuck in the microwave it’s actually on our plates quicker than ordering a meal.
It was my mums birthday on Monday and for obvious reasons I couldn’t mention what I had got her last week. But I actually managed to get her favourite perfume for £28 instead of £48 from Superdrug.

Summary

I’m loving watching my savings grow with Plum right now without feeling the pinch at all. I think this money will go towards our home fund. I have definitely been getting in the kitchen more to cook from scratch recently and I feel so much better for it! Not only does it save us so much money but it’s so much more healthy as well.
