Five fabulously frugal things I’ve done this week – 31st August 2018

Here is five fabulously frugal things I’ve done this week – 31st August 2018.

Five fabulously frugal things I’ve done this week – 31st August 2018

1. The kids both needed new school shoes ready for when they go back next week. We tend to measure feet at home (I have a Clarks foot measure which I bought years ago) and then look online for the cheapest option on new shoes. This year 2 pairs were bought brand new from eBay and the other 2 pairs from Clarks. Obviously I used coupon codes and got cashback on the lot.
2. The youngest needed new leggings, jumper and essentials ready for Autumn so we looked through the Gap sale. We got some awesome bargains including a pair of Bambi high tops for £8.99! And we also used a code for 45% off so we really did save some money on the order.
3. Another piece of junk sold on eBay this week from our garage full of old stuff to sell!
4. I love the sports bras from Lululemon and often check out their sale items to see if there are any worth having. I can’t bring myself to pay full price for one although they are amazing quality. I found one reduced to £38 and also got cashback on it.
5. My skin is always really bad this time of year while the seasons are changing so I invested in a new day cream, eye cream and body lotion. Superdrug had all the items reduced and as usual I got cashback on them.

Summary

This time of year is always expensive with back to school things and preparing for a new season. Although I feel like I’ve kept the costs minimal and I love the fact that I can get cashback on everything I buy.
