(or check the link on the home page) SUMMARY: I’m bringing back the humble cash tin to explore how pre-war households made every pound count—without apps, cards or expensive budgeting systems. By giving each coin a purpose, I can make invisible spending visible and prepare for bills, repairs and small treats. In this video, I share how I separate weekly money, track small expenses, shop with a list, control the food budget and use what I already own. I also explain how to try the cash food tin test safely, starting with just one tin. If you enjoy my stories about the simple ways households once managed money, subscribe to my channel.
