"Hi, my names Marcy, I'm a mum of 5 and
my money saving tips for you are;

1. Supermarkets
Always where possible, go to the supermarket rather than shopping
online. You will find that the bargains you can get especially later on in
the evening are worth it. Furthermore write a list and set a budget, putting
luxury items at the bottom. Take a calculator and add up as you go round,
when you budget is up, your shopping is done.

2. Nearly new shops
Look around your local town for good quality nearly new shops, that stock children's clothes i use one called SPROGGS TOGGS in Melton Mowbray,it is fab. Verberdant, Next, and Monsoon kids clothes for about £3 per item.(i got daughter some never worn boots for xmas for £3)

3. Revamp old clothes
Give tired dresses a new lease of life, on the dress shown below i stitched felt hearts sequins and bows ,this cost me 13p ,the felt and sequins came in a pack for 10p and the ribbon was 3p a meter from www.craftplay.com which is a factory shop that stocks craft items for kids"
