Well, as you know, I'm attempting to organise my life. And that includes my finances. Which aren't in the best shape in the world. They could be worse but they could also be a lot better.
Now, according to www.creditexpert.co.uk my credit rating is "fair" but I'd love for it to be "good". Which means getting rid of the debt.
So in a moment of serendipity, I came across the Penny Pinching Mama. This lady has some fab tips for cutting costs, living on a budget & shifting the debt.
And for the next couple of hours she's running a competition to win a copy of her book "how to save money & get rid of debt" simply by going to her blog post here
All you need to do is comment on the blog post by the end of 28th February & you've got a chance of winning!
Good luck guys!

Cutting the cost of shopping...
So, today I was going to post about HabitHacker, but then I came across an article about Extreme Couponing... (I promise, I'll come back to HabitHacker).
And we all love a good bargain don't we? I have to admit that despite it being a Mail on Sunday article, I was quite intrigued.. I'm constantly skint, so I'd love to be able to cut the cost of my shopping... (if I can halve the cost of my shopping I'll be very impressed!)
My main problem is getting vouchers (usually at the checkout with my receipt) then forgetting to actually use them... So I really need to start remembering them! But reading this article, it does seem that it would be more productive (cost-cutting) for me to find online vouchers & do my shopping online...
Tips include using price-comparison websites when making your shopping list in order to work out which shops you should be buying which items & using voucher websites in order to find money-off vouchers & codes for your shopping.
When you consider that one woman quoted in the article got £155 worth of shopping for £99 & over in America, "extreme couponers" make even more savings (£148 worth of shopping for just £4.45!!!) it's definitely worth a little bit of extra work...
I'm going to be starting with these sites:
www.mysupermarket.com
www.moneysavingexpert.com
www.savoo.co.uk
then I'll start googling for even more sites & offers!!
Happy shopping everyone! xx
