It is Friday once again which means that it is time to look back over the past week and our spending. This week has been a good week for finding a few deals and bargains that made me happy!
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve Done Linky:
- This week I needed some new foundation. I am a little bit in love with Doublewear by Estee Lauder. It is expensive but a bottle lasts about five months so I don’t mind spending a little bit more. In Debenhams there is a promotion running that if you buy a foundation and another product you get a free gift. I bought a lipstick because the free gift contained so many things including another full size lipstick and lip gloss.
2. Yesterday I was filming in London and I made sure I got my train tickets in advance and for off peak hours to get a good price. It always pays to get tickets in advance and never pay on the day! - I treated myself to a few magazines for the journey and found Closer Mag had a voucher in for a free low calorie Greggs Sandwich. That was lunch sorted too and it saved me a few pounds.
- I shared the secrets of yellow sticker shopping with Tom Church and the team behind Latest Deals – pop over to their Facebook page to see more here.
- Finally I have also saved money by looking at where I have been short changed.
- Finally I also want to share a great competition I have running on Emma and 3 to win a Leapfrog toy bundle.

Those Estee Lauder products like nice. I’m always happy to spend a bit more on nice make-up and skincare – it just feels nicer doesn’t it!

Some great savings this week – especially on the sandwich, love a free lunch 😉
I’m about to book my train ticket for BlogOnMSI (well, the pre-drinks the night before) to make sure I’m saving on my ticket.

Hey Emma, love that post on being short changed. Too often, I get home from the supermarket and realise I’ve been charged incorrectly. It would only take a moment or two to check it in store. Sometime I’ll go back, but when it’s 50p here or there, I don’t always.
I am totally with you on spending more money on products you know and love. I’ve spent more money trying to find a cheaper alternative than if I’d actually just stocked up when clever offers and promotions are on!
It’s so great when you can sit down with a glossy mag and especially if it’s low in cost!

I love how you buy things and save at the same time. Sometimes you just have to spend on the things you need as long as it’s within budget.
