Bargain cat and dog gift ideas?
I have friends with pets and was looking around for ideas, so here are two, one for a cat and another for a dog. I got my pet loving friends to try them out:
Neater Scooper – a sanitary not cheap solution
Cleaning cat litter trays is an unpleasant but necessary job if you have cats, so this sounded like a nice, new sanitary method.
The solution, Neater Scooper from QVC, is a three in one system for scooping up waste from your cat’s litter tray, sifting it out from the litter without the usual dust cloud and then transferring it to an perfumed bag-lined receptacle for binning.
It is simple to use – just scoop up the cat poop and the litter sifts through the slats in the forked end, removing the waste from …

Cat arch – bargain cat gift idea
I looked after one of my friend’s cats recently, so wanted to find bargain cat gift ideas. When I watched them I noticed amount of hair that they left around the house and all over my clothes. So when I was offered the new JML Purrfect Arch to try, I thought fantastic, could this be a gift to help with pets’ hair moulting?
The Purrfect Arch is an arch of durable bristles sitting on a carpeted square base, Your cat can rub against and walk under the bristles to remove loose fur or scratch their own back, while the carpeted base is meant to be used as a scratch area that detracts your kitty from going for your furniture. Sounds good right! The arch also helps cut down on shedding and fur balls, massages your …

Which are the best value Easter Eggs
Last Wednesday, I spent an evening testing Easter Eggs with some money bloggers and we chomped and debated until we’ve come up with this list for you.
Cashback site Quidco sponsored the evening, so a special thanks to them. The first round of egg testing consisted of a blind taste test with individual scores out of five. Then the prices and extras were revealed and the eggs were scored again for value for money.
There were 16 judges in total. Emma (From Aldi to Harrods), Lotty (Lotty Earns), Anita (Mrs Bargain Hunter) (little ole me), Andy (Be Clever With Your Cash), Lynn (Mrs Mummy Penny), Lisa (Unicorn Daydreams), Leanne (Broke in the Big Smoke) and Sara (Debt Camel) represented …

Not long till 6 March which is mother’s day this year. I love this day as I get a lie in, breakfast in bed, flowers, chocs and maybe a nice high tea somewhere, or a surprise gift. Here’s a round up of gift ideas and they are less than £20 each.
All because the lady loves Milk Tray
A classic that if you get dad to dress up in black can be delivered by your own Milk Tray Man. I am a massive Cadbury fan, from visiting the factory tour a number of times, to my fix of Dairy Milk, so frankly a box of Milk Tray has to top my list. The iconic box is bursting with tempting flavours, from the old classics of Hazelnut Swirl and Perfect …

Sensitive skin kit rivals Elemis but less than £20
The Kaeso Calming Kit is a delicate range for sensitive skin and I would say that as the products are beautifully packaged and feel lovely on the skin, last ages and are £18.95 for five items with free delivery, this is a real bargain if ever there was one.
The products are really for dry skins and moisturise, remove makeup and dirt, all without stinging or causing irritation. The moisturiser leaves your face really soft and a little goes a long way so is really good value for money.
Kaeso products smell good, and the exfoliator is gentle and the calming mask is easy to use. I must admit that I am an Elemis fan, but the positive feedback online drove me to try out Kaeso. It really does compare well, and would be a …

Budget at Budgens for Christmas
There are less than five weeks to Christmas and I am looking around for shopping ideas. Budgens isn’t somewhere I would normally consider, as I don’t have one near me, but recently I had the chance to take a wander around.
Budgens are smallish local stores and have both their own ranges and also stock well known brands, at pretty decent prices. There are more than 150 Budgens stores across the UK ranging from petrol forecourts to neighbourhood supermarkets, independently owned by Budgens retailers. Budgens retailers “care about the quality, provenance and value of their food, and their communities’ needs”. Budgens was recently named the ‘best top-up shop’ at the CTP awards, voted for by 20,000 UK shoppers.
Here are the items that caught my eye:
Monty Bojangles Truffles
Their Bojangles chocolates are lovely at …
