Ok - so I've copped some
'gentle ribbing' this week after the release of my first 'Little Miss Bargains'
entry. My initial distribution of this blog link was very limited - just my
mates who I know were, like me, keen to spot a grocery bargain and save some
cash.
My personal motivation to
save money on my weekly shop started after the arrival of my precious twin
babies in December last year. In one moment my family doubled in size and
our salary halved!
The arrival of twins bought
massive change - less sleep, less time, more work, less money. Hence the focus
on saving at the check-out and sparing cash for more important (and fun)
things.
So, after releasing this
blog I copped a bit of ribbing - Not surprisingly it’s been from my male
friends. I can't be too precious; it was actually fairly gentle - along the
lines of
'Seriously, aren't you busy
enough?' ...
'What a naff topic for a
blog' ....
'I took your advice but it
took me twice the time to shop for 'your bargains' than just getting it all at
one store' ) ...
But the better halves of
these gentlemen (my girlfriends), who not surprisingly are usually the primary
shoppers in the families, thought it was a great initiative and a huge time saver
for the working Mums out there.
So .... Here I go with
entry number two - I hope that you too can benefit from my favourite Sunday
night past time 'junk mail scouring'
This week I've put together
a basic shopping list with my tips at the top so you can either open the blog
on your smart phone at the shops, or print it and take it with you - fill in
the blank spots yourselves for your household necessities.
So here's what's hot for
the week beginning Wednesday 6 August 2014
