Hello ,
I was writing about how to live like royalty on a pauper's salary (that's most of us in these inflationary times!).
It covered many of the themes we like to talk about at MoneyMagpie.com, particularly how to have the luxury life for less. And today's newsletter is no different.
Then we have news of actual, real jobs where you get PAID to taste chocolate. That's a real thing and you can find out about them here.

We've also got info on where to find the cheapest veggie meals (vegetarian, as you know, is often a top money-saving way to
eat anyway) and some great ways to save money in the garden. I love gardening, by the way, even though I only have a small patio with pots. If you follow me on Instagram you'll see pics of some of my best plants. It's all looking rather
nice now with all the sun and rain making everything bloom!
But I do hope it will be mostly sunny with very little rain for our wonderful FOUR-DAY weekend to celebrate the Queen's jubilee, starting on Thursday. Are you having a street party? Will you be watching celebrations on the TV? Or will you just have a lovely long lounge in the garden? Whatever you're doing, have a royally good one. I'm certainly planning on having a celebration fit for a Princess at least!
Cheerio 'til next week!
Love Jasmine (standing in the background on the balcony... 😂😂)
