As the school summer holidays draw to an end, harassed parents can find themselves running out of ways to satisfy their children's endless demands for snacks and entertainment. And with the cost of living soaring, most don't have an endless budget to help them.
Fortunately, Lynn Beattie, who writes the finance blog Mrs Mummypenny has some tips to share to lighten the load. One of her best ideas is to make the creation of the snacks fun so you satisfy the tummies and the need for fun at the same time.
Lynn told the Daily Mirror how you don't have to spend a lot of cash, with one of her biggest hits a tasty crumble that gets the kids out and about foraging for berries. After that, all you need is £1 worth of ingredients from Aldi to prepare the dish.
