Of course we could eat our own lambs but I just couldn't - would rather buy from the supermarket!!<br /><br />Money saving tips for me are not to shop.

I don't think it's particularly a cost-saving measure right enough, by the time you buy the coop you're out at least a year or two's worth of eggs!<br /><br />My money saving tips are to utilise the sales for birthday presents, clothes and necessities. I spent about £50 in the January sales and managed to fill my 'presents box' for the kids to give to their peers. We usually have a budget of £12 per child for present, wrapping & card - this can be significantly cut down with careful shopping. If (like me) you barely have a weekend without a party, this can be very cost efficient.Vonniehttp://www.blottedcopybook.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
