I'm all for a good store loyalty scheme but when I found out that the new Tesco Clubcard PLUS was going to be one that I would have to pay for, I was more than a little shocked.To me, a loyalty card is about a store rewarding me for shopping with them, not me paying them so my first thoughts about the Tesco Clubcard PLUS were absolutely not happening.I've since done a bit more research and it does look like it could pay for itself for some families, including us.

Five Frugal Things we did this week {11 October 2019}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, as always feel that I should say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons. ;-)1) Guess what? I've got some super cheap flowers to share with you!I got two … [Read more...]
