I am so addicted to finding cheaper ways to spend my money on groceries, cleaning products, recipes, presents ect. Im finally going to attempt to organise a folder for this. I dont pay bills such as water electricity mortage petrol or phone bill, dh does this with his pay and im left with shopping and all the kids needs with mine (it works for us as we had did have a joint account but hated it)

So wondering if anyone has done this and if you have any tips??? Ive got so many books from recipes, cleaning, saving money and then loose papers from my notes and also some books that ive made for specific sites with their tips so now just to organise it.... could take awhile

Subscribing also

Edt- the only thing I did was making sure we used entree plates and not dinner plates. Smaller serving sizes = more servings per meal. Plus DH lost 10kg without even noticing it!! Winning!!!

Get a note book and write down every single cent you spend at the end of each week enter it into a spreadsheet and you will be surprised at where you are wasting money.
