Super-saver Irish mum who bought a house and saved €15k thanks to strict budget shares top tips

This mum has saved €15,000 and bought a house thanks to her strict budgeting regime and has shared her essential ‘no spend’ rules for those hit by the cost of living crisis – including how to feed a family for a fiver.

Stay-at-home mum of four Caz Mooney (33) from Co Offaly says she has always been careful with money, but first committed to budgeting in 2019 when saving to buy her €170k house.

By sticking to a strict ‘no spend’ rule for the whole year, Caz and her husband Seamus (39) saved a whopping €15,000 and were able to afford their own four-bedroom detached home within just eleven months.
