I purchased your budget book to help my daughter learn to budget. It is so well set up and has been just great. You are doing so well. My husband died when my daughters were 13 and I bought them up. Budgeting has been vital. It is empowering. Have a great holiday. Yiu absolutely deserve it!
My favourite souvenir from when I went to Disneyland as a child is my autograph book. You don’t need anything fancy, but getting to meet the characters is just delightful.
Have an amazing time at disney! Its just so magical, i finally got to take my daughter to disney in 2022 as a single parent also after years of saving, i got away with only spending 70 euros while there, ( food was pre paid for) ( my daughter also had 120 euros of her own from grandparents ect to spend which helped) little savings hacks i found were i brought a new (for us) fancy princess dress from vinted costing only £8 but she didnt get it until we were there so it was new for her, my daughter was in love with it to walk around in as they were 90 euros there!!! And i got a disney bubble wand from asda for £7 they were 20 euros there, and they are great for que bordoms too. And i took our own snacks, and brought some minnie mouse ears from etsy too, primark are good for disney clothes too all pre kitted out without disney prices 👍
I prepurchased Disney items at yard sales & thift stores for a year before we went...clothes, toys & books. It helped so much and my kids were just as excited. We also brought snacks & drinks with us. As you said, Nicola, the magic was being able to go at all. Have so much fun!
Can you use a particular garage to fill up on petrol where you get pints or money off petrol? Sainsbury’s springs to mind. I sometimes get a money off petrol voucher from the tills? You can also check where the cheapest petrol station is, nearest to you. Maybe a few times a month enjoy activities in your local area at the weekend rather than spend more money on petrol. As for Disney, have an amazing time when you go…it is really lovely but stupidly expensive, maybe tell the children they can pick out their favourite thing from the shops (looking for their favourite thing over the days you are there) and can then buy it on the last day, as a souvenir and for the journey home…set a limit and make it like a game
Yep may is very tight for us! New clutch for our car eck!! So that set us back a bit. But onwards and upwards. So trying to spend very little this month. Nice to see a new vlog

Thank you 💜
How on earth are you only spending £170 a month on food! Please, share your wisdom! 😅
I will do a video on this! I don’t manage it every month though 😅
Same £150-£200 a week for me and my 2 children. This includes household items.

Love this. I hope the memories will last forever 💜
@@NicolaatTheFrugalCottagethey will, I first went went I was 10 and I still cherish those memories!
The sound is SO much better in this one!
Have a great time at Disney!
Oh, that’s good 💜

I like the idea of the one thing from the shop - I’m worried about the costs whilst we’re there 😕 can’t wait to go though ☺️

You’ve got this 💪
£170 a month groceries? £45 a week?! How!
I'm spending £150 and more a week for me and my 2 children
I’ll do a video on this ☺️
Is there anyone at work close by you can car share with? And split the cost of getting to and from 😊
I’ll have an ask around ☺️
