Oh I love this! What a cutie Elizabeth is. I am very impressed she knows what thrifty is. My almost 5-year old would not have a clue, which I hope does not say more about me than it does about him 🙂
‘Put it in a money box, lock it and lose the keys’ = genius, but however much is in there, spend it on cuddly toys obvs. Love this series! :o)

Bless! I wish I could put some money away in my money box and then lose the keys! There is plenty of time to learn thrifty tips and I love that at such a young age Elizabeth has a really good idea of what being thrifty means x

You know what, I think Laura probably could get away with £20 a week to feed her family, she does it on a shoestring, lol Mich x

This is so sweet…I need one of those cars, the name of that supermarket and an invite to view the cuddly toy collection to see if it rivals my own!
