Good morning and here we are back at another Friday. This week I have been really busy but managed to make a few good savings.
- Firstly did you know that last Halloween Brits spent £200 million on treats for the celebration? Yet many of us do not do anything with the inside of the pumpkin. Instead, we just use the skin for our jack o lanterns. Therefore I have been working with Aldi to look at how we can use the pumpkin itself. Erin and I got stuck in the kitchen and made these delicious pumpkin spice muffins.

- Next up I have again been working with Aldi who have a luxury winter home range available. The range includes faux fur stools and rugs. Do go and have a look.
- Next, I have been looking for new boots and I was super pleased to find some for just £5 in
Everything £5. If you haven’t bought from here you are really missing a trick! The site sells older stock for £5 and you need to be quick because stock moves very fast! In the past, we have bought coats and jeans too! Losing weight has been great for my wardrobe as I am now able to wear lots of my older clothes again! Not sure if the husband will be impressed when I need to buy lots more as my jeans are falling off me!
- Finally, I have been looking at how else I can make money from home and I have been revisiting my own ideas in seven ways to make money when things are financially tough. It reminds me what can be done!

Everything £5 is fantastic, I definitely agree with you there! And well done on your amazing weight loss too 🙂
Go buy those jeans to celebrate your weight loss and to match your boots from Everything £5!
Well done, you!
I am a new Aldi convert! I am amazed at the difference it is making to our budget and loving the recipes on their website too! We have made pumpkin muffins today ….. who knew it was so difficult to cut up a pumpkin!
I’m just using cheap Aldi pumpkin as chicken treats. I don’t like the stuff myself but my ladies love it!!
I really want lots of the new fluffy Aldi furnishings but I’ve got no room….
