About

Simple & Homely is the go-to place for advice on how to make your money go further. We cover all things budgeting, cooking, and shopping, to help you and your family eat healthy, nutritious meals for less.

It all started after mum had a dream about creating a resource to help people make the most of their money.

We’ll also share diabetic-friendly sugar free baking recipes – the ones we find on the internet either use ingredients not available to buy in the UK, sweeteners, or both. We want to bake sugar-free treats using whole food alternatives. At Simple & Homely, we’ll do the experimenting for you – the recipes we include here have been approved by both diabetics and regular-sugar-eating people.

In all of our articles, we’ll include prices. There’s nothing worse than finding a recipe you really like and not being able to afford to buy all the ingredients. We’ll show you the prices before the recipe, so you’ll know straight away if it’s something you’re able to create.

Not only that, but we’ll also cover all-things air fryer, shopping list roundups to show you where you can get the best value for your money, the best tasting own-brand alternatives, how to use up your leftovers, and all things money saving.

Meet the people

The articles come from two people, Sydney and Cherie, Sydney’s mum. A true family run website.

  • Sydney: The writer, editor, site manager, and taste-tester. You’ll see her hands and wrists in our TikTok posts and in article pictures. Hers are the ones with the colourful bracelets.
  • Cherie: The researcher, note-taker, baker, shopper, and taste-tester. You’ll see her hands and wrists serving up dinners in our photos. Hers are the ones without the colourful bracelets.
  • The friends and family: Taste-testers and idea generators.
  • Nan: Owner of the Ninja Crispi and reader of every single article on our site. She doesn’t go to find the articles, they find her.
