November 2014 Degustbox Review & £3 off

November saw another great Degustabox delivery, perfectly timed too. It is great to get home on a cold, rainy day to find a surprise food and drink box waiting for you. And of course it didn’t disappoint. I decided to film myself opening the November box, so you can gauge my initial reaction.

I’m guilty of all

Degustabox review

I’ve been reading a lot about Degustabox across various blogs, so I thought I would give it a try for a thrifty review. I had contacted Degustabox asking if they would be willing to supply a box for a blog review, but they didn’t get back to me until they were preparing the boxes – after I had already paid for my first box.

Setting a Realistic Food Budget

The cost of food seems to be ever increasing and week by week we are spending more and more on our food shop. It would be great to set a budget of £20 per week and be done with it, but it doesn’t work out like that. Knowing how to set a realistic food budget will enable you to ensure that you’re sticking to it. A food budget doesn’t necessarily have to be limiting –
