We always talk about how our mums lose weight with The Healthy Mummy, but often our mums also see the numbers slashed off their family budget as well as the scales.
To show you just how you can save money with The Healthy Mummy we asked a few of our best budgeting mums to share how much they’ve saved, how they did it and what tips they have for other mums.
Read all their tips and advice below…
Nicole is a mum of 3 from Victoria who has been part of the Healthy Mummy for 11 months and lost an incredible 20kg in that time. She decided to do a review of her family’s budget and the financials of her partner’s business, so what did she change to help lower the numbers?
“It’s been so much fun, and it’s made me look at all aspects of our financials, including my partner’s business! We looked at ways to reduce costs at home and in my partner’s business.”
“Somethings we changed were….
With all those changes and the help of Healthy Mummy, she saved $106.55 in the month of July!
“So excited to announce that we have saved…$106.55, keeping in mind that we are a household living on one wage, and winter is my partner’s quietest time of the year!”
“We will definitely keep looking at ways to save and challenge ourselves next month!”
So what tips does she offer others who are trying to combat the rising cost of living?
“With the cost of living skyrocketing, we all have to knuckle down and start budgeting.”
“My top tips are:
Kira is a mum of two from Melbourne who’s lost an amazing 19kg with the help of The Healthy Mummy. And with that weight loss, she decided she would review how her family’s budget has also been helped by the healthy changes made with The Healthy Mummy.
Kira says, “I decided to have a look and see how much my family have saved over the course of the month… $207.70!”
So what did Kira and her family exactly do to cut $207.70 from the family’s monthly spend?
“We have done this by:
Kira wanted to help other mums and families also make cuts to their budgets with the current cost of living crisis many families are facing.
“With the current cost of living on the rise, now is more important than ever to be paying attention to how we can save on food and also prevent wastage!”
“My top tips are:
But that’s not all Kira and her family do, they also shop the shops by checking which one has the best specials each week and choosing the best option for their shop.
“Another thing I do is look at the catalogue for both Coles & Woolies and shop at each buying what is on special each week from the catalogues. I also go to Aldi for some things (especially their frozen stuff. Dishwashing liquid etc., as that can be very well priced!)”
She also uses the 7/11 to help her lock in the price of petrol when it’s cheapest and predicted to go up.
“I also have the 7/11 app on my phone, and I lock in the price of petrol when it’s cheaper. Every little thing you do adds up!”
Krystal is a mum of four from Coffs Harbour who has seen an amazing 20kg drop from the scales thanks to the Healthy Mummy. The last couple of months have been tough for Krystal and her family, the current cost of living increases have hit her hard, but The Healthy Mummy has helped her cut the costs by $209 and stay healthy.
Krystal says, “June/July has been full of ups and downs. Price hikes going up with petrol and groceries; it’s been a bit of a struggle. But with the help of the Healthy Mummy, I was able to save some cash, $290.”
“Petrol, groceries and kids for the school holidays. It’s been an awesome month. To be honest, I don’t usually keep track of spending. But being a mother of 5, sorry, I mean 4, not including the partner. I needed to keep track of where the money was going.”
Despite never really having tracked her spending before, she used the Healthy Mummy App to help track what she spent on groceries.
“The Healthy Mummy App has helped me keep track of my spending with groceries. It helped me be aware of other areas of my spending.”
A few changes she made to help keep the costs down include:
To help her keep on track of her savings goals, Krystal made a goal of treating herself to a massage and facial with the money she saved by making these small changes. She’s also able to help her kids enjoy some fun activities!
“With that money saved, I’m shouting myself to a message and a facial, plus my son came home from a sleepover today and went to a free session of boxing with his mate and grandad today. He loved it! And I’m able to pay for the whole term for once a week of boxing training for a whole term. when you put your mind to it, anything is possible.”
Here are four tips Krystal has for other mums or families looking to help minimise the shock of the cost of living.
