If you’re already stressing about how to keep the kids busy for the summer break, we’re here to save the day! Check out some free or affordable ideas for crafts, projects, and days out this summer.

This week has been bargains galore. Everywhere you turn there is somewhere with some great deals to be had. See what Kayleigh has bagged this week with her beady frugal eye! From nappy cream to The Disney Store and Primark!

Buying the meat for your BBQ can be expensive but there are ways you can cut the cost. You could see if you could find yellow sticker meat and keep it in the freezer until you need it but then you run the risk of not finding what you want and having to pay full price, another option which my family recently tried was a hamper from MuscleFood.com.

This week has been the start of my Christmas shopping, I know to some that sounds a little crazy as it is only just July but to a money saver it is never too early to start. Shopping early allows you to keep an eye out for deals and pick up normally high-priced items at reduced prices when they are in the sale.

Going on holiday and feeling less than confident in how you look is one of the worst feelings. But you can get beach ready in a few weeks with a few simple diet and exercise changes – that don’t involve spending loads of money on a gym membership!

With the end of another school year fast approaching, you may be wondering how to keep the kids amused during the holidays. This question can sometimes cause a lot of stress, especially if you are on a budget. Kayleigh has a few helpful pointers to keep the kids happy and the parents sane!

For some of you, hearing the word Christmas before November is a swear word. But for bargain hunters, the earlier you start the bigger the savings you can get. It also helps as you are more organised in the process, so it is the perfect time to start that shopping.

This week has been great for bargains, especially from Boots. I recommend going in and having a look at the clearance items. I went in with my mum and we found a basket full of great stuff.

If you’re still not certain on your summer holiday plans, it’s not too late. We’ve researched some of the best travel offers, both at home and abroad, to save you the trouble!

With weather like it’s been for the past few days, there’s nothing better than getting out in the garden for some fun and games and a delicious BBQ. I remember as a kid at the first sign of summer sun my dad would call out ‘BBQ time’. You always get the inevitable burnt sausages and overdone burgers, but still there was nothing better.

This week’s been a great week for bargain finds. While we were away at Chessington my mum took over the bargain hunter crown. She sent me a message saying she had found 22 packs of nappies for £33 in the clearance section in Boots.

This week I have been squirrelling away packs of wet wipes that have been on offer in Tesco. Although the offer has now come to an end, it was on for around 2 weeks so I took full advantage. The packs are normally £1.39 a pack but were on offer for just 50p a pack. Bargain central!

We all know having a baby is one of the most expensive times of your life. There are a lot of items that you need to buy, and it doesn’t stop there. There’s also the constant supply of nappies and wipes, not to mention new clothes every couple of months (as they will have outgrown the previous size, often without even wearing half of what you had brought).

Shopping for your summer holiday wardrobe is one of the most fun bits of planning a trip, at least in our opinion! We’ve rounded up the best deals on shorts, dresses, sandals, hats, bikinis and more.

This week has been all about make up bargains. There are deals to be had in both Boots and Superdrug, so it is a great time to restock anything you are low of.
