Freebie Finds!
If you're anything like me and are obsessed with a freebie, I got you! Each week, I search out a bunch of amazing things that won’t cost you a penny.
I only recommend products and businesses I use or would use myself and all opinions expressed here are our own. Some links in this blog are affiliate links or sponsored by the companies I use and recommend. This means I may earn a small commission but at no extra cost to you.
Kids eat free or cheap - half term
School’s almost out for the May Half Term and the holidays can get expensive fast, especially when you’re trying to keep the kids entertained and fed on the go.
Luckily, loads of restaurants and cafés across the UK are offering kids eat free or have low-cost meal deals – and I’ve rounded up the best of them for you here.

From 8th June, you can discover a free day out to a farm for all the family! There’s something wonderful about being entertained out in the fresh air with the family and it not costing a penny!
Open Farm Sunday is a free event offering the opportunity to visit working farms across the UK, and take part in unique experiences which may include farm walks, nature trails, tractor rides, demonstrations, children's activities and more.
Most farms are free entry, some require further costs to do all activities and some do require entrance fees.
