As the cost of living crisis bites, households across the country are looking at ways how to save money. Soaring energy and prices means making precious money stretch that little bit further.
Childcare costs are likely to add to the list of outgoings, putting a further strain on already squeezed family budgets. A mum who started to research ways on how to lower her monthly childcare bill was left astounded by the ways she could save money.
As reported by Manchester Evening News, writer Dianne Bourne who is a full-time working mum discovered "to her utter horror" that she had been missing out on childcare discounts over the past five years. The discounts worth thousands of pounds could have made a big difference to Dianne's budget.
