1. Do cupboard check challenge: Don’t buy a thing for Easter until you know what you have already.

Clear out every kitchen cupboard and make a list of what you can use during the holiday.

Restock shelves so the food going out of date first is at the front.

Now do the same with craft items, your wardrobe and in the kids’ rooms.

Keep what you can use and if there is anything you no longer need, such as old toys or clothes, list it on Vinted or Facebook Marketplace to bring in extra cash.

2. Make your own Easter eggs: Per gram of chocolate, Easter eggs are much more expensive than normal chocolate, as you pay for the box, decoration and shape.
