Welcome to Frugal
Living in the UK. Whether you want to reduce your
debts, save for a holiday, stay at home with your
children, live more simply or just beat the
system a little and end up with more cash, we
hope you find something here to help. Consider
yourself as in a clothes shop - look around, try
the ideas on for size, take what's right for you
and leave the rest for someone else. The main
sections are listed at the top of each page and
there is a spiritual abundance section listed at
the bottom that you can take or leave as you
please. This site will always be a work in
progress so if you have any tips you would like

The Book of Rubbish Ideas by Tracey Smith. Written in a friendly, chatty style this book is choc-full of innovative ideas for reducing waste, both money saving and environmentally conscious in tone. After the informational start, detailing why we should bother - Rubbish History, Rubbish Climate and Rubbish Obsolesence - we are guided, room by room, though our house and made to think about the waste generated in all areas. We were most impressed that even the letter box is covered with entirely practical and quick ways to stop junk mail (and phone calls for that matter). Highly recommended.
