I now home educate a 5.9 yo and a 3.1 yo, so I am hanging about the house quite a bit - how can I turn this into saving money?
We tend to go out to meetups or activities each day, but that means maybe one day we will be out 10 - 6, another 12 - 5, a couple just locally, then activites after school hours, so most days I am in the house for a good stretch. I study with the OU too, so I spend some of my childfree hours doing that too.
DH works shifts, mostly afternoons and evenings, I do Avon, have a bar job on matchdays at the football ground and do mystery shopping (but not as much as I could because a lot of them don't like you to take kids). We are still very close to the bottom of the bank account at all times though.
I'm thinking more home cooking and packed lunches could be a good money saving thing, but what else?
