About Sarah
I’ve been writing since 2015 and during that time I’ve developed a varied and colourful body of work. I’ve written several lifestyle and travel blogs, magazine beauty columns, interviewed celebrities, and written podcasts, news articles, short stories, and more. Writing on these topics and meeting people from all walks of life has taught me a lot about how people live and what they enjoy in life.
I joined MyVoucherCodes as a deal expert, sourcing the best possible deals and discount codes. I later developed my skills and I’m now a lifestyle editor providing detailed insight into budgeting with hints and tips that help others make their money go further. I understand the pressure of keeping to the budget and making every penny count. I’ve been a single parent and one-half of a parenting partnership and know the challenges can be varied, my advice is inclusive of any situation, and I hope it’s helpful.
In my spare time, I thrive on creative hobbies including poetry, journaling, watercolour painting, and lino printing. Life is pretty busy while I juggle my career, hobbies, and family life with my children, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Spending time on creativity - whether it’s writing, making up silly games with my children, or painting it’s my happy place.
My Top Saving Tip
One of my largest outgoings is the grocery shop, I’m always looking at ways to cut back the budget. Of course, reward and loyalty cards can save us a few pounds now and again but there are better ways to save no matter where you shop.
Look out for yellow stickers, most supermarkets reduce food items greatly on the last sell-by date. That doesn’t mean those foods aren’t still great. I snap them up and pop them in the freezer on that day, it’s an awesome way to stock up and prevent food waste!
What was the best saving you made?
I’m always on the lookout for a bargain, especially when it comes to clothing. I love preloved and vintage pieces, but as a plus-size woman, the selection isn’t always great. I love ASOS for their inclusive sizing, the sale usually offers massive discounts. I recently saved 80% off a winter coat, saving me over £70! Of course, the money I saved went on matching boots and a bag...but I’m still calling that a win!
The last thing I purchased was…
The last thing I purchased was a coffee grinder for my partner, he sees himself as a coffee guru! John Lewis often has discount codes and I managed to find one on MyVoucherCodes that saved me an additional 20%. Naturally, I told him that I had paid the full price! I was delighted with my bargain.
My Favourite Retailers
We are a household of creatives so we love Hobbycraft and The Works for art materials. Many a Saturday is spent browsing and getting inspiration for the next project.
I’m a cosmetic addict. I love Boots - it has all the brands you can think of, often with great savings and special offers. This means the Boots Advantage card really works well for me. I recommend downloading the app for additional discounts that you won’t find in-store.
I also really enjoy shopping online at LookFantastic for skincare and fragrance, I almost always find a discount code here at MyVoucherCodes which means I can indulge in some of the pricier brands that I otherwise couldn't afford. I’m a huge fan of beauty dupes and enjoy researching ingredients that provide the same results. I often write about my finding in blogs or share them on social media
