Hi I’ve added the logo to the post, sorry I didn’t realise all the rules, is there anything else I need to do. I’ll be more mindful of them in future. Great link up though.

With my husband training to be a barber full time at the moment, I have had to get frugal – last month I batch cooked lasange, cottage pie, chilli and homemade chicken nuggets for the freezer, as well as stocking my freezer up with various frozen vegetables, and other stuff – I spent far less than my usual shop and we actually have quite a lot less, which meant less work and less spending this month!
