Prices seem to be rising daily at the moment so I thought I'd write a quick post about the ways that I save money at the supermarket because, let's face it, every penny counts right now so if I can help you save a little bit when you're doing your weekly shop then we're winning!1) Airtime Rewards This is one I've mentioned loads over the last couple of months since I first discovered this one but Airtime Rewards is amazing!

In theory, at the end of a reset day, you should feel a lot more in control of life in general and I was in need of a bit of that myself last weekend so Sunday was dedicated to my own reset day.I've been feeling a bit meh lately, nothing too serious but since I hurt my knee a while ago I haven't been able to do any real exercise which I know has impacted me which seems mad when I think about it as I've never … [Read more...]

This homemade Spicy Arrabbiata Sauce recipe had really upped my meal planning game this year!  If you've seen any of my meal plans on Meal Planning Made Easy for the last couple of weeks then you'll probably have seen that a new regular on our meal plan is Prawn Pasta with a spicy arrabbiata sauce.
