The children are jumping for joy now that school is out for summer! It is the time of year that many parents stress about. No school is a childcare conundrum for many working families. It is also an expensive month with planning days out and treats to keep the children entertained.
Here are my Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done:
- I have been planning free activities for the Summer Holidays.
- Last week I attended Christmas In July and was gifted some goody bags and I have been repurposing some of those bits into the teachers leaving gifts!
- I have updated my wall art on a budget using Posterlounge. I also have a competition live where you can win £50 to spend on wall art yourself! Click here to enter.
- Did you know if you order to collect at Sports Direct that you get not only free delivery to store but a free five pound voucher to spend in store. I ordered Dyl some holiday clothes, collected my voucher and got him another T Shirt for FREE!
- Finally I also applied for a refund for my delayed train. I never usually get around to claiming but decided this time I would!

I’ve always understood the sports direct delivery to store to be £4.99, but you get a free voucher, which isn’t then technically free as you paid for it – a great way to get you to spend more in store though.
Thank you for the sports direct tip! I may have to get the kids P.E kits from there.

Good tip about claiming for the delayed train – it’s one of those money-savers that we can put off until it’s too late!
