If you’re trying to cut back on spending, but you don’t want to downsize your life too much, how do you do it? Well, there are actually loads of great websites that have a host of superb resources that you can use or learn from.

Here’s the ones I like and regularly look at:

General money saving advice

MoneySavingExpert  – the lovely Martin Lewis’ excellent website is great for money-saving tips, deals, consumer advice and budgeting help.

Be Clever With Your Cash – this is a new-to-me website, but I already like it. Run by personal finance journalist Andy Webb, with practical advice on saving money, budgeting, and smart spending.

Skint Dad – Budgeting, saving money, meal planning, and frugal family life, it’s got it all.

Frugal Food & Meal Planning

Feed Your Family for 20 Quid a Week – run by the lovely Lorna, this site is fantastic for great meal planning ideas, recipes and offers. And it’s Scottish, so there’s a bit of bias there too! I genuinely love this site and her cookbooks are great too.

The Batch Lady – another Scot and a great website for busy working people who are looking for healthy, affordable meal ideas. I love her cookbooks too.

Jack Monroe – Cooking on a Bootstrap – Budget-friendly recipes from a UK food poverty campaigner. Her cookbooks are also good.

BBC Good Food – a great resource forUK-focused affordable meal ideas.

Other websites that I haven’t used, but I hear are excellent for advice:

StepChange – Free UK debt advice and budgeting tools.

National Debtline – Free, impartial debt advice service for people in England, Wales and Scotland.

Citizens Advice – Offers guidance on budgeting, bills, and money problems (plus other legal and consumer issues).
