8 Companies That Will Save you Time (+discounts)

Cook Food

Frozen ready meals delivered to your door.

I always have a stock of these for those mad days when eating falls to the bottom of the priority list. Eating well and fuelling my body is important to me so having a safety net of healthy meals ready to shove in the microwave is a lifesaver for me. They come in 1-person, 2-person and family-size portions.

Tip: filter on "microwave only" if you want fast meals as some of them can only be heated in the oven.

Lune and Wild

I heard about this at a baby class where the mum was saying "can you believe people actually pay for ready-made frozen baby food instead of making it themselves?!". I played along "yeah, mad!" whilst making a mental note of the company name. I for one could do without anything extra on my to-do list (especially when the baby refuses to touch it anyway).

So glad I used them! I used their First Tastes Baby weaning bundle with my youngest rather than boiling and pureeing all the different vegetables myself, and I have no regrets. They do meals and snacks too but I haven't tried them myself yet.

Whistlefish

Great quality, beautifully designed greetings cards from an eco-conscious company that supports local. And they're typically £1 each with their 10 for £10 deal. What's not to love? I do an annual card stock up from here so I always have a card ready to pop in the post when needed.

Starling Bank Account

I opened a Starling Account a few years ago and I LOVE it. I've got a personal one and a joint one with my husband.

Reason #1 that I love it: it only takes about 5 minutes to open it from the comfort of your sofa: big tick.

You can also create any number of "spaces" which are like virtual money pots. I swear by them to keep on top of the finances money throughout the month.

We have a pot for each child, a pot for the dog, a pot for food, the car, holidays, savings and so on. At the start of the month money is automatically transferred into each pot so we can keep track of spending so we don't go over budget. It's a total gamechanger.

You can also create virtual cards so you can pay directly from each pot. I have a petrol pot, and use the petrol virtual card whenever I fill up.

And if you have any queries, their customer service is available via real-life humans through the app 24/7. They are really quick and actually helpful which can't be said for all banking customer services!.

Fantastic Services

I've used Fantastic Services' cleaning services (oven clean, sofa clean, end of tenancy clean etc) and it was great. Really high quality, professional service and easy to get it on the day/time I needed.

They also do regular cleans and a whole host of other services like DIY, gardening, plumbing and laundry. They're a nationwide company so they should be able to serve you unless you live in the middle of nowhere!

Cheeky Wipes

Reusable wipes, period protection, nappies and more.

I bought these wipes for baby #1 for bum wiping and face wiping (separate wipes!) and they are SO much better than re-useables. Not just because they're better for the planet but because they actually wipe!

We have a drawer full of them in the kitchen for mealtime mop ups and they also get used for any quick wipe down that's needed - the table, the floor, the worktops. Just the right size for a quick mop up, then chuck them in the washing machine with the next load.

Pots for Tots

Another baby/toddler frozen food and snacks company. In my opinion this one has a better range of meals and finger food than Lune and Wild so I have a stock in the freezer ready for snack request number 14 of the day.

The finger foods defrost in seconds in the microwave or I pop a couple in our picnic box on days out and they are ready to eat by lunch. Nutritious food for no effort - I have a lot of time for that.
