Try to source bulk laundry powder. we only buy a 20kg bucket/bag of OMO every 5 months. it works out to be $2.40 a kilo. this is a major saving for us.
Hi ladies...
I don't know about QLD but in NSW you could go to TAFE and have hair, manicure, pedicure, wax, facials etc done for free... You will need an appointment and you need to be understanding since the job is done by students but they are good and the teachers are always there to help.
We are tight in money but maybe not after reading your posts.
I have been back to work since my girls were babies, but I could do it from home and with a lot of flexibility! I would have LOVED to take time off to stay with them all the time, but this arrangement helped me heaps and I manage to work while the little one is asleep or when my partner comes back home. It was hard at the beginning, still recovering from the delivery and slepless nights, but we needed the money so I kept going...
There are heaps of jobs to do when the kids are asleep and hubby can take care of them (in case they wake up), like office cleaning, kitchen hands, etc.
Markets are good, especially if you go close to closing time... they try to get rid off fruit/vegies, so they are VERY cheap. There are also butcher that sell a lot cheaper than supermarkets... I guess though it depends where you live...
hope it helps,
xxx
