You may have noticed that things have changed around here – the blog has a fresh look and I can now sum up what From Aldi To Harrods is about with the phrase “make money, save money and live the life YOU want”. I recently received a comment on a YouTube video, stating that “If you have to buy all reduced food then you really are living on the bread line….?? The occasional reduced item
Degustabox is a monthly surprise food and drink subscription. It costs £12.99 a month (or £9.99 for your first month signing up here). Every month the contents of the boxes has surprised us and stretched our culinary knowledge. Receiving ingredients that are new to us has helped us to create some exciting new meals that we had never thought of before. December’s Degustabox was early to account for Christmas, although the contents didn’t reflect the festive season.
I am feeling incredibly blessed this festive season. Our house may be full of coughing and spluttering thanks to a cold we both have, it may be cold outside and it may be getting dark ridiculously early, but I am still extremely grateful for all that we have. Not just material possessions, but also time we have together, family, experiences and so much more. It has got me thinking about ways to “give back” at
Teleshopping is evil, pure evil. You are sitting there with nothing else to watch, and after about twenty minutes you have decided that your life is incomplete unless you get hold of whatever product they are advertising.

And of course it didn’t disappoint. I decided to film myself opening the November box, so you can gauge my initial reaction. It also features kittens very briefly (and a correction, I realise a Chai Latte is tea and not coffee. But I still
The cost of getting a takeaway is astronomical! Whilst fakeaways (where you cook your own takeaway) are great, there are plenty of ways to trim down the costs whilst still enjoying your favourite take away. Order less & share Some of the portion sizes from your favourite take away are huge – more than you can reasonably eat in one sitting. Or sometimes they offer a great deal on a larger portion that can easily be split between two
Earlier this year I blogged about the idea of reverse washing your hair – simply put, you condition and then shampoo your hair. I saw amazing results, and at the time of writing my post I had only tried it twice, but my hair was left feeling lighter, softer and took less time to dry. Now that was a few months ago, it is time for an update. I am surprised to say that this
Every month I fall even more in love with Degustabox, and October was no different. As you can see, the content of this box retail for a whopping £26.07, and yet Degustabox only costs £12.99 delivered to your front door – or £5.99 for your first box using this link. This is the best box I have received so far, and definitely the one worth the most. I cannot even begin to decide what my
