Being Thrifty this month has included a few birthday freebies. I've also come across some other offers and ways that have helped to keep costs down this month. I would have used restaurant freebies but unfortunately both Stuart and I were poorly so unable to use them before they expired. Hopefully next year I'll be able to use more of the freebies offered.
Amazon
This month I spent my Amazon panel voucher towards to pants for B as he was really in need of some. Underwear is something I always buy brand new.
Shoes for a wedding
I got some shoes to wear to a wedding in August for under £8 including postage. The great thing is I can wear them at other times and the heel isn't high so I can walk in them easily.
B's outfit for a wedding
I've purchased some trousers, a shirt and shoes for Blake to wear also off Vinted saving money instead of buying brand new.
Disney plus
Tesco clubcard had a deal on where I was able to get 3 months Disney plus standard subscription with ads for free. I've remembered to cancel the subscription so that after the 3 months it doesn't auto renew.
Cashback
I've started using cashback websites the top three I'm using are Jamdonut (referral code:PKOU) Chedder ( referral code: AZMGVQF) and Topcashback. Jamdonut and Chedder are where you get cashback on buying gift cards. I may do a post on these in a bit more detail at a later date.
Virgin Red
Virgin Red is a loyalty scheme I signed up to at the beginning of the month. With Virgin Red you can earn and spend points on a range of your favourite brands. Tesco Clubcard have recently added Virgin Red to their loyalty scheme. To promote the partnership they're giving 5,000 points totally free when you sign up to auto exchange to Virgin points.
