Herions is pretty cheap for brand frozen goods. Like bird eye and carte door. I always a big fan of poundland for some of the detol cleaning products. I don't drive but my impression is always best to shop about rather than relying on shop. Then again, it's just me and partner so we don't mind. All our veg come from a local green grocers. Some great tips.

I LOVE working out new ways to save money but he's pretty reluctant to agree to most of it.<br /><br />I ALWAYS take packed lunch to work, every single day! Everyone in my office takes the pee but I don't care. Why on earth do people spend £5 + a day on a sandwich when they can make lunch themselves to take in? I honestly don't get it! Also people that buy Starbucks every day! They must be made of money!<br /><br />I always think that I'd save more in the supermarket if I went on my own rather than the two of us going together. Extras that we don't need always end up going in the trolly!<br /><br />One thing I've almost managed to convince Simon on is not having to buy all of the brands in the supermarket! He used to fight me on every single item but now even he agrees that some own brand stuff tastes the same and on occasion can taste better!<br /><br />We have a hefty amount of £££ to pay off our Honeymoon so we're definitely in for a frugal year! xNew Girl in Toonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656888897233646613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-505076183564577610.post-91965763995291878832016-12-31T15:54:53.266+00:002016-12-31T15:54:53.266+00:00Frugal is my middle name.
