Dan’s Tips for Families on a Budget

1.    Do your research on items you have your eye on. Nothing beats advice from people who have already purchased a product, or who can even recommend an alternative.

2.    Create a gift drawer so you’re ready for any party or event. Last minute gifts usually end up costing you more, so remember to buy when there’s a great offer on and save for later. 

3.    Keep costs down on days out by allocating a meal prep day each week.  Factor in upcoming picnics, parties or trips to avoid expensive meals when you’re out. Sites like MyFridgeFood are great for meal inspiration to use  up what you have at home.
