Meal plan Monday: mini choc-chip muffins
I have had a frugal few weeks thanks to a clever meal plan and a great grocery shop where I spent $175 on mostly fruit and veg which managed to last us ten days! The meals I made during that time included: chicken and veg rice paper rolls with dipping sauce, chicken stirfry, various salads […]
I just wanted you to know.
There is lots going on and not much happening at the moment. Its a funny time of year and despite my love of colder weather, I am over winter. Its wet, freezing and restricting me from doing all the things I love right now, like running, taking photographs and hanging out with my children and […]
Meals with beef mince – Baked enchiladas.

Shopping showdown
Anyone who knows me in real life would know that I am a bit cheap, I like a good bargain and not spending money has been my full time job for a while now. Yesterday was my five year anniversary of being a stay-at-home-mum. On the 18th May 2006 I walked out of my job at […]
Frugal Sarah Says
Wednesday started out a very good day, I dropped a happy and smiling Amy at preschool and was so proud to see her greeted by all her little friends with such joy and excitement. Then I dropped Ron at work and Stella was mumbling away contentedly to herself in the back of the car while Ron and […]
The first in a series of posts
I have a bunch of random photos from my point-and-shoot camera that I will be posting over the next few days. First a selection of vaguely related photos. Above is a sight that makes me very depressed, amazingly I don’t often let the kitchen get into this state, I have discovered the key for a […]
