Hi, I’m Cora Harrison
I started The Mini Millionaire way back in 2014. I’d just graduated from University and decided to leave the corporate world I was destined for and instead start up my own business. Since then I’ve gone on to start more side-hustles than I can count. Some have been successful, some not so much… Some have even been so successful I’ve sold them!
The Mini Millionaire was designed as a place for me to document my experiences (instead of boring my girlfriend Helen with financial speel). Little did I know it would turn into a dedicated resources for those looking to earn money, save money and take back control of their finances.
I hope you enjoy it!

Approved Food Review – Updated For 2019!
Approved Food Review - Updated For 2019! In the UK, we throw away a staggering 7 million tons of food and drink from our households every single year.
