Every week I share five frugal things that I’ve done during the previous week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.
Hey! 👐
1) Daffodils are one of my favourite two flowers and at this time of year, they’re in abundance everywhere you look where I live which makes me very happy! They’re also a frequent visitor to the yellow sticker section of the flower department in the supermarket too. Look at the giant bunch I found in Tesco last weekend for £1.25…
It’s actually 7 or 8 normal sized bunches of daffs bunched into one and they bloomed so beautifully after just one night in water. This is what I came downstairs to the morning after…
Two vases filled with Spring Sunshine. 😁
3) I bought two dresses from the charity shop in our village which I loved when I saw them on the hanger but when I got home and tried them on, they just didn’t look as good on me as they did in the shop.
I hate the thought of taking something back to a charity shop for a refund but I decided to put on my big girl pants and took them back in for a full refund and you know what? The lady was lovely and when I apologised, she said not to worry as it happens all the time.
Usually, I would just keep them and sell them on using Vinted – sometimes for more money if they were proper bargains when I’d bought them but sometimes I might lost a couple of pounds as Vinted is notorious for people trying it on for lower prices.
4) Talking of Vinted, I sold three more items this week on there making me £19 in total.
Selling on Vinted is never going to make me a fortune but it is a way to get a few pounds back for things that I don’t need anymore. I set myself a goal of listing one thing every day in April but have failed with that as I’ve only listed seven things so far this month.
5) I used the Vinted profits from the last month of so to book some airport car parking for our holiday and managed to get 20% of the cost of it back using TopCashBack.
I used £40 ish of Vinted profits so by the time I get my cashback, the parking will have cost less than £10 which isn’t bad as airport parking is super expensive.
So, there’s this week’s five frugal things – I hope you’ve all had a happy Frugal week!
