Family, Frugal And Home Goals For October {2015}

At the end of each month, my husband and I sit down with our notepads, write a list of goals we want to achieve for the following month, and look back at the goals we’ve met from the previous month.

We have been doing this for a while now and it’s really helping us to stay focused and to feel like we are actually getting somewhere, we write down our money goals for the month as well as the things that need doing in our home, breaking it down into monthly chunks is far less overwhelming than a huge never-ending list.

Every month I will be sharing some of those goals with you, this will be a huge help to me as writing it down holds me accountable.

Financial & Frugal Goals 

  • Pay an extra £100 towards the credit card debt
  • Invest in a chest freezer so we can continue bulk buying
  • Line dry as much as possible
  • Online earning – surveys, apps, focus groups & cashback sites
  • Continue matched betting
