Top 5 Thrifty Blogs

Much of my inspiration for money saving comes from reading the blogs of those on the same journey.  Some of the advice on those blogs has changed the way I have approached my mortgage pay off project and served me well when I've had quiet months work wise.

Top 5 Thrifty Blogs

These are my Top 5 Thrifty Blogs

Living Well Spending Less
This is an American Blog but most of the posts make perfect sense whether your in £££ or $$$.  Loads of to the point how to posts here to keep you on track and a huuuuuuuge Thrifty Thursday Linky where over 300 thrifty posts are linked up each week.

From Aldi to Harrods
Just discovered this last week and I'm loving it!  From tips on how to make £1000 in one month to posts telling you when to post on eBay for free.  I'm currently reading through old posts on here and my favourite has to be How To Sell Your Smelly Shoes on eBay.  You will not believe it! 

Mortgage Free in Three
I've spoken about Elaine's blog recording her journey of paying off her mortgage and living a debt free life.  Last month Elaine make a phenomenal amount of money and also shared some fantastic ideas for both making and saving money.

Utterly Scrummy Food for Families
A great source for low cost recipes.  If you're struggling with your meal planning or need a tight week, get over and have a read as Michelle seriously knows how to keep the cost of the weekly shop down and her family eat really healthy food.

A Thifty Mrs
This is the first thrifty blog I came across and I love the household advice on here.  I now know how to launder my towels correctly and mix up cheaper cleaning solutions.  A mine of advice and also a source of sales alerts and bargain buy news.  Invaluable, you must subscribe to this one to know about the offers asap.

 So that's what I read and what keeps me on track.  How about you - what's your favourite thrifty blog?

Recommended Reading - Mortgage Free In Three

I have not been approached nor paid to write the following recommendation - I have expressed my opinion as this blog has helped me massively over the last few years.

My favourite blog of all time has to be Mortgage Free in Three which follows Elaine's journey from debt to paying off her mortgage.

I have aspired many times to pay off my mortgage only to become distracted by not watching money or booking a holiday (or three, maybe four?!)

Elaine gives loads of advice, ideas and methods of saving money. 

The key that has changed my mindset is the 10 x 10 square.  She can explain a million times better than I can so click on the link!! (basically, break your target down into 100 units and cross them off one at a time)

So jump on board...have a read and to Elaine - a million thankyous x

More of a professional money saving blog rather than a personal one to one blog. However, there is a personal touch and the ideas on there can really help you out and stop you spending!

There's also fab discount codes and promotions with major brands.
