Welcome to the rabbit hole. In recent times this blog has revolved around self-promotion of my creative-writing blog and my personal blogging. Older post contain recipes and soap crafts - this blog moves with my lunacy. :)

Budgeting tips: Shopping around
A simple way of saving money on your essentials is by doing a simple price check of other stores. An obvious example of this is mobile contracts - these differ from provider to provider as the result of competitive pricing. This logic also carries over to essentials such as food, cleaning products and other day-to-day items. The same item will be priced differently in different chain supermarkets. So it is worth checking around before you buy. This simple tactic can save you pounds off your bill. It is also important to check with in chains of the same supermarket as stores base there pricing on the location they are in. I went to buy some vitamins the other day. In the Boots on North Laine, Brighton, UK, the box was on sale for £14.99. At the Boots on George street, Hove, UK, The same product was on sale for £11.25. With the 3 for 2 deal this came to £22.50 instead of £29.98. Big price difference!
