The school term is finally drawing to a close and mine are exhausted and ready for the break. This week has been a really busy one. I expected things to be quiet work wise but instead, I have had a very busy week. My bank balance is happy with that though!
I have been able to save money in a number of ways this week and so here they are:
- Topcashback cash out, over the past year I have been rewarded with over £100. Therefore I bought myself a new outfit for a night out next week and also for Christmas Day. This is like free clothes! If you are not purchasing online via Topcashback you are turning your back on free money1
- I have bought some gift cards for gifts which I always think is a good move for teenagers. It means they get to spend the money exactly how they want and you know that the present will be appreciated and more importantly used. However, I wanted a creative way to present the gift card so I did some thinking and came up with these 5 Creative ways to give gift cards and experiences.
- I have been checking out the best wine deals and especially where I can get an amazing bottle of awarding winning champagne for under £20. Read this post to find out where!
- If you have a large following on social media and that includes Instagram there are a number of platforms that offer you vouchers to collaborate with them. You don’t need to be a blogger either, this year I have had nearly £1000 from working with Buzzoole. I convert these to Amazon vouchers and they have paid for lots of my Christmas presents!
- Finally I have sold a few things on Ebay. I quite like the buzz of reselling. You may remember a few months back I spotted a brand new hair removal system in my local charity for £5. I resold this week for £25. That is a pretty impressive profit and I know that someone will be getting a good Christmas present at a great price.
