'I’m a thrifty mum – here’s how I only spend £200 for our half-term holidays to keep my kids entertained'
She added: “We are lucky to have a lot of things on our doorstep to keep the children entertained like a splash park and a beach.
“My biggest piece of advice to parents for the summer holidays is to plan ahead. Even if you put £20 a week away now, it will mean that you’re in a much better position financially when it does come around. “We get reduced cinema tickets through my Mad About Money App, which costs £1 a month to join and also gets you money off your shopping. You can also get a year’s free membership if you recommend it to other people."encourages discussions about finance as well as discounts, warned even "free" days out can have hidden costs if you're not prepared.
The mum also praised the power of children's imaginations and said that with the right attitude, parents can make something as simple as going for a food shop exciting.“We live near the New Forest and they love going around it on their scooters, which I got for £7 at a car boot sale, even though they'd have cost about £60 new.
