- We have been overspending and it’s time to get my budget back on track by having a financial reset and I’m starting by doing a low spend month! I really want to save money with month so I’m challenging myself to spend as little as possible (within reason, I still want to enjoy life y’know?).
The weekends tend to be a huge spending hotspot so I’m taking you along and talking you through the reasons our budget has gone off track in this money saving mum vlog.

Great video! A good reminder to me about intentional spending and spending on the things that bring value to our life. Think we're similar to you in that we are in a very fortunate place where we don't have to count every penny...but it's so easy to waste money on things that add no value whatsoever and then not have the money for the things that bring real joy and impact on our lives.
Thank you ❤️ and thanks so much for your comment, yes totally just because we can afford it doesn’t mean it’s worth it or we should!
Congratulations on sticking to your food shop. Great to see your intentional spending, i have been working on that myself this year too! It is hard with children too because you do want to give them the world!
But yes it's important to teach them that happiness can come not only from stuff! My almost 3 year old has just started asking for everything and anything for her birthday 😅 . Looking forward to seeing how the rest of your month goes and wishing you luck 🤞 X
Ahhh thanks for stopping to chat! The food budget has been my absolute nemesis so it’s been a really big effort to try and get it under control - fingers crossed for the rest of the month!
Hello and sorry to hear your struggles with time. My suugestion is that for us back in the day - only one of us would do the big weekly food shop, using a list while the other parent stayed home with the children. Supermarkets just are not fun for little children - I recall it being better once they got older and could help with fetching some of the list items.
Do you and your hubby ever get to go on a date together leaving a babysitter at home for a couple of hours? Then you get out of the house to relax a bit and have a good chinwag about everything. Just a couple of thoughts from a mum now grandma. X
Awww thanks for the lovely message - we did just start this year getting a babysitter so that’s been good! Yes totally agree we rarely take the kids to the shop but actually I love the idea of sending my daughter on a mission to get an item!!
