Guess the cost, and win my exclusive craft shopping haul with E.ON

GIVEAWAY NOW ENDED

It’s easy to lose track of how much you’re spending when out shopping for things you love.

Whether it’s a jacket you’ve been staring at in a shop window for the past few weeks or that impulse purchase on the way to the checkout, your tightly controlled budget can quickly be forgotten – and this doesn’t just happen on the high street. With months of darker, colder evenings ahead, it can become all too easy for energy bills to rise far beyond the expected – especially as there’s no price tag to keep you in check.

So, I want to show you how difficult it can be to keep a track of your spending without any idea of how much things cost.

Guess the cost, and win my exclusive craft shopping haul with E.ON

Lots of craft ideas for kids and teens

My shopping haul

Craft materials and ideas for kids and teens

 

This is what I bought yesterday when I was out shopping for craft supplies. I went without GG, knowing how many things she will want to add to the basket when faced with her dream shopping trip. Second only to splurges in New Look, shopping for craft materials is her favourite way to spend a morning, and afternoon, or indeed, and entire day. My credit card usually gets dented, even though I try hard to disappoint her with my restrictions.

As usual though, even without her influence, I managed to buy much more than I was intending to.

Craft ideas for kids and teens - you can never have too many card-making materials!

Craft ideas for kids and teens - card making materials

Card-making never gets boring, especially with all these gorgeous bits and pieces! There are lots of stickers, Washi tape, buttons and gems, a bumper pack of card blanks and envelopes, my daughter’s favourite thick typewriter font stickers (great on the jewellery tree), glue, 3D paints, metallic paints and pens, a great set of paper edging scissors, ink pads and stamps, and a couple of pretty hole punches. As you can see, I got a bit carried away here!

Craft ideas for kids and teens - scrapbooking!

And when they’re a little older, and love to plan, scrapbooking is the thing. This lovely pad of designer papers was a hit with GG!

Thankfully, for those of you wanting to get a grip on how much you spend on energy, help is at hand. E.ON’s smart pay as you go meter allows you to keep tight control on how much you spend on energy by showing exactly how much you’re using in real time.

All of which means you’ll have some extra cash to spend on the things you really love…
