While most of us are constantly looking at newer ways of making our own appearances better every day, the same amount of attention is never paid to our homes. We want to keep our clothes updates as per the latest trends in the market but our homes can be the way they are, right? Unfortunately, that’s a big mistake most of us make. Since our homes are as much of a reflection of our personality as our clothes, it’s important to keep them as trendy as we keep our clothes. Where we live has to have a personality and style as well. And that style should constantly change and evolve.

Meet Lorna Cooper – the mum of four who managed to save a massive £4,000 on her shopping bill and still feed her family of six. These are the secrets of her success
Lorna Cooper (pictured on the right) feeds her family of six for just £20 a week
“People always thinks it’s impossible to feed the six of us on just £20 a week,” Lorna Cooper, from Paisley, said. “But once you’ve bought your staples like rice and pasta, meat and spices to flavour things, then the rest can come in pretty cheap.”
Lorna started trimming her food bill two years ago. Before that she was spending £100 a week feeding her husband, three children and one step-child.
Now her food costs just a fifth of that.
How much do you spend on food each week?
No single trick, but lots of tips
Sadly there's no single secret to turning £100 a week into £20. Rather a series of methods.
Buying in bulk, cooking from raw ingredients, shopping around,bargain hunting, using more than one supermarket, making full use of your freezer and planning your meals are just some of the techniques she uses.
Fortunately, the pay off is worth it.
“It can be time consuming,” Lorna admitted. “I do shop around for the best deals, trawl websites looking for offers and shop in discount retailers and Asian supermarkets for the best buys. But to save around £4,000 a year just on food is worth the time and effort.”
Start with the biggest expense
Lorna Cooper with her family - and a LOT of value meat
For Lorna, meat was a big cost. Fully a quarter of her original food budget went on protein alone and to bring that bill down she looked outside traditional channels.
Where? To a body-building supplies site. Body builders and other athletes need a lot of protein to replenish (or grow) their muscles after exercise, and so there are sites dedicated to getting a lot of protein (be it chicken, beef, eggs, or fish) for less money.
Sites that mums can use just as easily to feed a family as a weight lifter can use to build their pecks.
“The growing mum fans took us slightly by surprise,” said Darren Beale fromMusclefood.com. “Most of our customers are body builders, sports people or fitness fanatics.
“We knew we were offering premium products at low prices and keeping the cost down by selling in bulk. For mums that works perfectly – a hungry family with growing kids always needs good quality, fresh meat and if mum wants to freeze, then she can.”
And the savings can be big. Lorna's cut her meat bill for a family of six from £25 to £10 by using the site.
Additionally, by buying meat in bulk or when it's on offer and freezing it, it means she can cut that expense from her shopping bill for weeks – if not months – at a time. Needing just fresh fruit and vegetables to go with it.

Xiaomi recently celebrated the Mi Fan festival by offering several devices for Rs 2,000 less, including the celebrated Mi 4.
Now, the company has no plans to go back to the older pricing. An
official statement by the company reads, “Mi India offered a special
price for Mi 4 during Mi Fan Festival, and it was very well received. We
have thus decided to make this price drop permanent.”
The 16GB Mi 4 priced at Rs 19,999 is available for Rs 17,999 after
the price cut, while the 64GB model is up for grabs at Rs 21,999, which
is down from its original Rs 23,999 price tag. It is now available on
Flipkart and offline via The Mobile Store. Manu Jain has revealed that the Mi 4 will also be made available on Snapdeal and Amazon soon.
The new pricing also brings it at par with the OnePlus One. The
Xiaomi Mi 4 was certainly priced well for its features and performance
when launched, but its 12GB usable memory was definitely one of the
major flaws. Specially when you considered the fact that with just Rs
2,000 more you could get the OnePlus One which cames with similar specs
and 64GB memory (four times that of the Mi 4). Read our complete Xiaomi Mi 4 review to know more.
The price cut is also an indication that the company is paving way for its new smartphone supposedly to be called Mi 4i. It is expected to be unveiled at an event named ‘Global Mi phone premiere’
that will take place in New Delhi on April 23. The new device is
rumoured to sport a 1.65GHz Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit processor
paired with 2GB RAM and will run on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop
out-of-the-box. These specs closely resemble the unannounced Xiaomi
device, dubbed ‘Ferrari’ that appeared in a benchmark listing last
month.
