    Cool new here from UK

    Hi there,

    I am new to this site, have tried to post a couple of things and am trying to get the hang of this.

    I have tried to simplify my life over the last 6 months because both me and hubby are disabled and with 3 kids not enough money to go around generally.

    I hope to learn some tips on saving money, recipes because I like cooking and generally have fun.

    I am not sure how to use the coupons over here in the UK not even sure we have that sort of thing but I am sure you will put me right.

    Would love to speak with others who are also in the Uk.

    Welcome Rowanberry, from a fellow Brit!

    These guys are experts on all things Frugal

    If you can spend some time going back through some of the posts you will find all sorts of nuggets of information that are useable on this side of the pond!

    Sadly, we Brits don't have the Coupon culture that they do in the US, we used to have the odd one or two way back, but the only coupons around these days are the odd one or two that you get through your front door ( on a rare occaision).

    The way we can save money is by being organised, making Menu plans, oportunistic buying, when there is a "two for one" or "buy two get one free" offer, but you should only do that if it was stuff you would have used in the first place!!

    Good luck
    Karen
