Bring thrifty this month has included a few freebies, some charity shop bargains, making money selling some bits we don't use on Vinted and more. So read on to find out what we've managed to do this month.
Vinted selling
I've managed to make over £100 on Vinted this month selling bits we no longer need such as clothing B has out grown, toys and bits that will make great Christmas gifts which we have no use for.
Vinted buying
I used some of my vinted funds on a few bits as well. These prices all include the postage costs.
- Spotty Dress - £7.04
- book bundle- £15 for 6 books I've been wanting
- Presents for Stuart for Christmas - £14
- Fleece Minecraft pj's for B - £8.19
Donations
As well as selling things on vinted as we've been having our pre Christmas clear out we have also taken a fair few bags to a few local charity shops.
Charity shops
I've managed to get some great pieces recently from various local charity shops:
- Long sleeve Joules top for £5.49
- Santa mug £1
- Santa bowl £1.99
- x5 kids dvds for 99p
- A train toy for £1.99
- Santa hat headband 50p
Black Friday Deals
I decided to take advantage of some Black Friday deals on things that I was only going to buy anyway:
- Give me cosmetics have a 50% sale on so I've ordered a few skin/hair products.
- Wild have a 30% off sale on selected items do I orderd some more deodorant refills and set up a subscription for them to arrive every 14 weeks.
- shoes for B on amazon that we usually get him are 15% off and he needs the next size up.
- also got 35% off a safe on amazon. We wanted one to keep our wills, passports and other personal documents in.
Reusing Christmas decorations
We've mainly been reusing our Christmas decorations this year and only a few new bits as mentioned above in my charity shop finds. We did also decide to get some window lights this year which will hopefully last us for years to come.
Cheap visit to Santa
We decided to take B to see Santa today. We stayed local and it cost £5 with half the proceeds going to charity. We didn't want to do an expensive visit as we have other events planned for next month.
