    Is Hello Fresh Worth It? A Deep Dive into the meal kits subscription service.

    15/05/2023 /10 Comments

    I’ve been seeing more and more stories about meal kits, and specifically Hello Fresh meal kits on Instagram lately. Due in no small part to a very clever advertising campaign which uses approachable family and lifestyle influencers to communicate the message that a meal kit is the answer to planning your dinners. Is it worth it though? Is it all hype? Will the meal kits feed my hungry family of four? Does it generate loads of non-recyclable waste? Are the ingredients decent quality? And ultimately, will I buy it again? I’m going to try to answer these questions (and more) below in my Hello Fresh review. Since I announced I…

    A Squash And A Squeeze

    15/02/2022 /No Comments

    How shopping and eating on a budget really works at the moment. When you are on a tight budget you figure out what you have to spend on essentials each week. You basically allocate set amounts for rent/mortgage, energy, household bills, and then food. These are fixed amounts and rarely deviate from week to week. Let’s say a large energy bill arrives (as has happened for almost everyone in the past 3 weeks) and it puts your entire budget into chaos. The trouble is that you still have the same budget and income. You can’t reduce your housing bill; that’s not how renting or having a mortgage works. You’ve also…

    Preparing For A Power Cut

    02/12/2021 /9 Comments

    Ever since the power went one Christmas Day when I was growing up, I’ve compiled a contingency plan so that I always have particular supplies in the house, just in case.  This can apply in times of bad weather, snow or just when there are supply problems so it’s a good idea to prepare now – you never know when these tips will come in handy!

    Jellybean Rainbow Cake

    21/06/2021 /23 Comments

    This cake looks like it was lifted straight from Willy Wonka’s factory, however it is incredibly easy to make. You don’t need to be an experienced baker, all you need is patience. You may have come across this recipe when I shared it before the Irish Constitutional Referendum a number of years ago; I believe in equality for all families in all their wonderful shapes and sizes. I’ve also shared this recipe to celebrate #PRIDE because I believe that for too long people who do not conform to the norm have not been treated equally, and continue to be discriminated against. We can do better. Pride is an opportunity to…
