  5. How to always get cheap cinema tickets

    Posted on

    Full price cinema tickets are really expensive.  I recently read an article in a newspaper showing just how expensive a cinema trip can be.  A family of four were sent to the cinema as a test, got a ticket each for a film, a drink and food item each and the total cost was around £90!  A crazy price just to watch a film for a couple of hours with a drink and snack!

    Luckily there are lots of ways to never pay full price for a cinema ticket.  Cheap cinema tickets are possible!

    In this blog post I will share loads of ways you can get affordable cinema tickets.

  15. Beauty tips: how to save money at a hair salon

    Posted on

    For many people, especially busy working mums, going to the hair salon is more reminiscent of a spa day than a menial task.  It’s a chance to interact with someone else, even if small talk is not your forte, a moment to shut eye whilst having a soothing head massage and letting someone else take care of us for a short while.  Going to the hairdressers becomes an experience, rather than a beauty maintenance task that must be complete.

    However, the luxury of a hair cut by a professional hairdresser, especially with a wash and blow dry, does come at quite a cost. 

    I’ve regularly spent up to £45 per haircut over the years at various hairdressers just for a simple cut and blow dry.  It’s quite extortionate!

    I remember even being charged more once because I had long hair.  A £5 surcharge if your hair was longer than a certain length!  Penalised for having long hair!!

    Although it is lovely to hire outside help to tackle your home improvements and decorating, there will no doubt be quite a high cost.

  60. 10 reasons to choose a scooter instead of a car

    Posted on

    Recently, when Ben was still at his employed job, we were seriously discussing him getting a scooter to commute to work.  We both have cars and one of our biggest expenses each month was Ben’s fuel costs.  We spent around £150 just on his fuel to get to work and back each day!

    Add in some supermarket shops, B&Q visits and trips to friends and family (even just locally) and we were usually filling his tank three times per month at a cost of £200.  It was one of our biggest outgoings every month and we were looking for how to cut car costs.  This is when Ben seriously began to consider a scooter!

  91. How can I make my wedding cheaper?

    Posted on

    Weddings can be expensive business.  Apparently the average cost of a UK wedding in 2018 was £32,273 according to Hitched.  That’s crazy money! 

    Personally I think that amount of money is better off going towards a house deposit that gives you security for your future and is an investment, not just one day.  Or towards your retirement.  It’s quite extravagant for the average person to save so much money to blow on one day. 

    Of course if you want to spend that amount then no judgement and perhaps you can afford to, but going by the title of this blog post you are here because you want to make your wedding cheaper.
