What does frugal living mean?

Frugal living doesn’t mean that you go without. Living a frugal lifestyle means that you save money on your daily living expenses so that you can spend money on the items that are really important to your family.

That could mean that you pledge to stop eating take-outs and put that money towards a dream holiday or switch your bills regularly and put the savings towards paying off your mortgage.

What is frugal living?

Frugal living, in the real world, means making sure you have enough food and enough money to live while not going into debt or worrying about you are going to pay the bills next month.

Being frugal means that you and your family get to live the lifestyle that you want. Decide what’s important as a family. What do you all want to save for? You all have to be invested to be able to achieve your goal.

Wikipedia explains the meaning of frugal living as “The quality of being frugal, sparing, thrifty, prudent or economical in the consumption of consumable resources such as food, time or money, and avoiding waste, lavishness or extravagance.”

For us, it’s more about being free from debt and no longer living month to month. Our frugal money saving tips in this post are all easy to do and great for the whole family.

The good thing about living a frugal lifestyle to that it’s as flexible as you are. You can be as frugal as you want while still watching your savings grow.

How to Live Frugally in the UK

Frugal living gives you options as a family. Debt limits your options!

For our family; frugal living means that we really think about what we spend our money on as a unit. That whatever we spend it on is essential and not just a want.

That doesn’t that you have to live like this too. Living frugally could mean something different to you. It could mean that you’ve now decided to start making prudent money choices.

How to save money living frugally?

To start living more frugally as a family you need to make smart money choices. Make your money work for you and really start to budget are the first steps to saving money while raising a family.

If you haven’t started already, then creating a household budget is a good place to start. It allows you to see what you’re spending money on and if and where you need to cut back.

Try and decide how much you’re going to spend on food, petrol, and treats and stick to it. If you prefer to use cash to budget then drew it out and put it in envelopes to use. Anything leftover gets put into the money pot.

Frugal money-saving tips UK for beginners

The great thing about frugal living is that you and your family get to live how you want. Decide what is important to you all as a family. What can your family not live without? What do you all want to save for?

If you’re all invested in living a frugal lifestyle then you will make your dreams happen.

1. Set your own goals

Have monthly chats with the whole family to keep everyone on track and on the same page. You can’t start saving more without the whole family invested. Extreme frugal living is a lifestyle choice so find out how far your family want to fgo before you start.

2. Start a monthly budget

That way you know what you have leftover, if anything that month. Use my FREE downloadable budget planner to help.

If you prefer to use your phone then make sure you have at Plum and Snoop. They are both money budgeting apps that help save you money.

3. Celebrate when you reach a goal

A big scary goal will really help motivate everyone to keep going but you do need to celebrate when you reach it. That doesn’t mean blowing everything you’ve saved. Have a day out together or a treat meal. Something to keep everyone going.

4. Check your bills

Go through all your bills and check you’re on the best deal. Phone them and ask. What’s the worst that can happen? We use:

Switch energy suppliers EVERY year without fail.

Make sure you check them regularly to avoid any surprises or errors. It’s all about keeping your finances in check and making sure everything adds up correctly. So, take a few minutes to review your bills and stay in control of your expenses.

5. Use budgeting apps

Use a FREE app to help keep track of your family’s spending habits. It’s completely free and it lets you input your salary and outgoings, plus links to all your accounts including savings and investments. 

Using Open Banking means that these apps can bring up all your bank accounts with different banks. They are regulated by the FSA like any high street bank are.

6. Move to a water meter

This tracks your exact water use so you have complete control.

7. Have a guilt-free money day

Try once a month. Don’t go crazy but go out for dinner or have a treat. It will help keep you all on track and feel less like you are missing out.

8. Switch bank accounts

Do this every 12 months to get the best interest rate and take advantage of the cashback offers. Use Experian to check your credit score to make sure you get the best rates possible.

9. Have an emergency fund

Make sure you have an emergency fund for if or when something happens out of your control. This should be your first saving goal.

10. Ask hard questions

Ask yourself “Do I really need that?” before you buy anything new.

11. Sell, sell, sell

Sell old or unused items on Facebay or eBay.

12. Use Facebook

Use Facebook communities to help you find deals. Facebook’s Marketplace is a great way to find the cheap items you need.

13. Keep loose change

The odd 1p and 2p really start to add up. Put them in a jar and count them when it’s full.

Frugal Living Ideas For Transportation

14. Annual payments

Pay for as many annual payments yearly if you can. This will save you paying interest in the longer term.

15. Walk more

Try and walk instead of taking the car. We now walk any distances that are under 2 miles. It’s a great free exercise too!

16. Turn your car off

When you’re sat in a queue don’t leave the car on. Not only can it save you fuel but it also helps the environment.

17. Wash your own car

Get the kids involved and make it a family task. It’s a great way to spend time together too.

18. Carshare

Split the petrol cost with a colleague or friend. If you are both going the same way then it makes sense to share and saves you both money.

19. Do your own small repairs

YouTube is amazing for walking you through anything from changing a tyre to the battery. Give it a go and learn a new skill too.

20. Tyre Pressure

Check your tyres are at the correct pressure. Most petrol stations let you check and fill them for free.

21. Research and find free parking

When you go out, research first and see if you can park for free anywhere. Parking charges are big and this could save you a lot over a longer period of time.

22. Find the cheapest petrol station

You can research this online really quickly.

23. Clear out your car

This helps to keep the weight down and uses less fuel.

24. Could you go down to one car

It might not be easy but that saving could be the difference between having a holiday and not having one!

Frugal lifestyle Meal planning and Shopping

25. Meal plan

Everything gets put down, including snacks and desserts. Meal planning is the best way to start saving money. Put your meal plan up somewhere so the whole famly can see it. You don’t have to stick to it daily. Swap and change the meals around as they suit you. Use it as a guide.

If you are looking for meal ideas then have a look at:

26. Build your shopping list

Use the meal plan to then make a shopping list. Take it with you and stick to it!

27. Check your cupboards

Before you go shopping, check what you have in your freezer, fridge, and cupboards already. Can you take anything off your shopping list because you already have it?

No point in having too much food in the cupboard as the kids may change their mind and not like something.

F28. ind cheap recipes

Let everyone pick one. It helps fill up your meal plan and have less waste. If you are looking for cheap meal ideas then have a look at:

Like Tesco Clubcard or Boots Advantage Card as you get freebies back. You can also use these points on weeks when you need items that you just can not afford.

31. Use eBay

Before you buy anything check eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You may be able to get that item cheaper.

32. Use pre-made meal plans

If you are looking for easy-to-cook family meals that help you stick to a budget then have a look at Spicentice.

33. Stop buying coffee

When you go out, bring your own hot drink.

34. Shop charity shops

This is a great way to get designer clothes on a budget. We use Vinted to find clothes and presents for the children. You can get anything on there from designer trainers to cuddly toys.

35. Use Google shopping

This is a great place to buy kids birthday presents. Search the item you want and let Google compare all the prices for you.

36. Try season shopping

Try and buy winter clothes when they go on sale in the summer-ready for the following year. If a few items don’t fit exactly right by then, I’m not that annoyed about it as I saved money on all my purchases overall.

Frugal Living Ideas For Entertainment And Activities

37. Penny challenge

1p Saving Challenge: How to Save Over £100 in 30 Days

Try the penny challenge for three months and put that saving toward a family trip out. We use this 1p money challenge here.

38. No-spend weekend

Try and have one once a month. Have a jar of free ideas that can help keep you all amused. This could be anything from going geocaching in your local area to Pokemon spotting or chalk drawing.

39. Check offers before you go anywhere

It takes five minutes and a Google search to check offers on places to visit.

40. Sitting in a TV audience

Keep an eye on the big production companies’ websites. They often ask for audience members to come along for free.

41. Use What’s App

What’s App and other free messaging apps like this are great for chatting to the family. They are free to use for all and you can video call as many people as you like.

42. Find free ebooks

Most local libraries offer a free eBook service using your library card.

43. Drink water

Bring your own bottles of water so you don’t need to pay for it and invest in a water filter for your home to save money over the long run.

44. Use your local library

Your library is a great place to rent movies or books you need. Most run great family activities too.

45. Enjoy the outdoors

Visit as many free local parks as you can.

46. Find local walks

Take bikes or scooters and explore your local area. Really get to know where you live.

47. Family board game nights

These are great to get older kids off their devices. You could even play over video call with older family members too.

48. Home spa day

If you love having nails done then do it at home. Get some friends around and help each other.

49. Make your own toys

We’ve all been there. You spend forty quid on a VTech watch or singing Elsa to find the kids would rather play with the box.

Now, I splash out of one big thing each, then make everything else. One of their favorites is still Cheerios is a plastic box.

If there is a product in particular that you feel you need to buy then have a look at voucher websites like Lowe’s coupon that help you get money off.

50. Park Run

Instead of using the gym search for a local Park Run group in your area. They normally run most weekends and offer kids races too.

Frugal Living Tips For Laundry and Cleaning

51. Ditch the tumble dryer

If you can, hang your clothes up to dry around the house.

52. Make your own detergent

Okay, so this might seem a bit radical but bear with me here. For a little under £20, you can make five gallons of your own detergent. If won’t clean all those weaning bibs or the poonami all over your kids best baby grow, but it’s fine for the average day to day wash:

3 bars of fells naptha
1 box of borax
1 box of washing soda
2lb box of baking soda
Large tub of OxiClean
Purex laundry crystals (optional)

53. Use the sniff test

Check if clothes really need washing. Could they do one more day?

54. Wash at 30-degrees

Unless really dirty, washing at 30 really can save you money in the longer term.

55. Use less soap powder

If you have a smaller load then use less to try and make it last longer.

56. Use an airier

Put it near your radiators so when they are on they can dry your clothes as well as warm you up.

57. Open a window

Instead of using air fresheners.

58. Dry your clothes outside

If you can, wind air is the best way to dry your clothes.

59. Pick an all-purpose cleaner

This means that you can clean your home with one cleaner.

60. Use cheaper brands

The cheaper brands still work. Use them to clean your house.

Utilities Money Saving Ideas

Use a site like Money Super Market for your electricity if you don’t like the hassle of looking around. They automatically switch you to the best deal for you at the end of your term. Find out more here about how Money Super Market could work for you.

61. Take meter readings

Take your own meter readings yourself so that the companies don’t use estimates.

62. Turn down your heating

Turning down your heating by just 2 degrees could save you money. We leave ours on at 18 degrees.

63. Put a jumper on

Ask everyone to put a jumper on before they turn the heating on. Wear extra layers or use a blanket at night if you are cold.

64. Insulation

Check and have added insulation added to your home.

65. Turn off Lights

Turn off lights every time you leave a room.

66. Keep doors closed to keep heat in

Only open them when you have to.

68. Energy-saving lightbulbs

Install energy-saving lightbulbs every time one fails in your home.

69. The oven

If you need the oven, try and fill it, thinking of the next day’s food as well.

70. Airfryer

We love our fryer and that means we don’t have to warm the oven up. You can pick which side warms up and even look things like bacon in it without the hob.

71. Gas hob

If you’re using gas, try and put a lid on the top to stop the excess heat from coming out.

72. Flush twice a day

Only flush the chain after a poo.

73. Turn off the tap

Turn the tap off while you’re brushing your teeth.

74. Have quicker showers

We time ours at 5 minutes.

75. Use a waterbutt

It’s a great way to collect rainwater and saves you from getting the hose out in the summer months.

Be Frugal And Save Money On Your Household Bills

76. Cash envelopes

Use cash envelopes on anything you need to pay cash with. That way you will stay within budget.

77. Call for help

If you’re falling behind with mortgage or secured loan payments, you may want to consider an auction sale to dispose of the property quickly and release some cash.

78. Don’t auto-renew

Don’t auto-renew insurances. Make sure you price compare first. We use Compare The Market for bills.

79. Mobile phone

Swap to a lower mobile phone contract. Instead of buying a phone plus network package – opt for a sim free smartphone with a sim-only contract so that you’re not tied down for a couple of years. Also, when looking to upgrade to a new phone, consider a refurbished smartphone which is generally much cheaper than buying new. Specialist marketplaces like Back Market, Amazon Renewed or Music Magpie offer a wide range to choose from. 

80. Use YouTube

Watch YouTube to learn how to do all the DIY jobs at home yourself.

81. Check everything

Go through your household bills and cut anything you don’t need. Check auto-renew insurances and see if they can save you money.

82. Check subscriptions

Review your subscriptions every 3 months and cancel what you don’t need.

83. Washable wipes

Use them for everything and then chuck them in the wash.

84. Pay by direct debit

You normally get a discount and don’t have to think about it.

How To Be Frugal With Food – The Best Frugal Living Tips

85. Check your cupboard

Including freezer and fridge and buy kitchen staples. Try to add one cupboard meal into your meal plan.

86. Grow your own vegetables

This is a great activity for the whole family. Most seeds are cheap to buy and if looked after can give you a lot of vegetables. Start with the easy ones like strawberries, peppers and tomatoes.

87. Use leftovers

Use up any leftover food that’s going off. Smoothies, cakes and slow cooker recipes are perfect for this.

88. Pack lunch for the whole family

No more school meals (unless they’re free) or office outings. Keep track of what you’ve saved.

89. Reduce waste

Reduce your family waste by understanding dates and where items go in the fridge.

90. Buy good meats

Buy better cuts of meat that can last for more than one meal. Muscle Foods* is a good one to start with.

91. Downshift your brands

Start at the bottom and work your way up. You’ll be surprised at how nice a value product tastes. If you don’t like it, then go up one and try that. These meals are all made from food brought from a discount retailer.

92. Switching supermarkets

I’ve saved over £30 a week just be switching from Asda to Aldi. Try it!

93. Buy in bulk

The bigger box of nappies you buy, the cheaper they are. Works with most things, apart from cake, unfortunately.

94. Alcohol

Cut down on alcohol or only buy it from discounters.

Meal planning for us has been one of our biggest money savers. It is so easy to just ignore what you already have and go buy more. But meal planning helps us to be intentional with what we have, including our money and other resources. Great post.
