Since having the twins, I have become a much more thrifty person. Twins are expensive, so I have to save money where I can, knowing when to splurge and when to save.
I have figured out which products in the supermarket have value options, which taste just as good as the leading brand. I am trying to cut down on our takeaway, fast food and coffee shop habits. We make sure there is never any food waste in our house. We switch off all our heating and electric when we go on holiday. We shop around before we buy anything.
One of the ways I save money, is by always looking for voucher codes before shopping online, and also before visiting cafes, restaurants and hotels. For example, VouchaCodes.co.uk is a great money saving website. It’s really surprising just how much some of these vouchers are worth. In the past I’ve taken advantage of buy one get one free on dinner out, free delivery from some of my favourite stores and discounts as high as 50% on things I was planning to buy.
However, contrary to popular belief, it’s not just shops and restaurants which you can save money on, with the help of the internet.
As I’m now a family travel blogger, as well as a family lifestyle blogger, our family are spending more on travel products like airlines, trains, hotels and airport parking. Voucher websites are an invaluable source of money-saving on this front. I find it particularly useful that Voucha Codes offers discounts on hotels.com as well as other leading tourism and hospitality providers. I save a fortune on travel related bookings as well as items I buy before travelling. This means that travelling as a family of five is not as expensive as it seems.
This year we are cutting down on the things we don’t need, so we can live a year of fabulous travel experiences instead, giving our children happy memories which will last a lifetime.
