Money saving family challenge £25 per week

Hi All,

I am new to the site, so will introduce myself first.

I am a mother in my mid twenties, my family consists of me, my partner, our toddler, 2 dogs & two cats.

I work a part time day job & I run a small business from home.

Running a small business obviously means there are going to be some months I am not going to be making much money, so I have decided to challenge myself to feed & wash my family on just £25 a week (animals included). I could up the budget to a more reasonable amount but the aim is to save money & make healthy, filling, easy meals for us all.

If anyone would like to follow me you can go to my contact details & click on the blog link, I started the challenge today, but started blogging on friday. I am also on FB if you search for cherry budget hogan & like the page, I also opened up a group on friday for people to share tips on reducing there outgoings called "fill my family on a budget" this has over 1000 members in just a few days.

I hope to see some of you interested, maybe even pop over to the group to share your ideas

Many Thanks

Claire x
