Well what can I say we are finally at the end of another national lockdown and we can hope that it is the last. One good thing to come out of lockdown is that I have definatley saved money on take away coffee and driving related costs. We have also just finished another financial year and its pretty interesting to see how and where the year was most affected due to covid.
This week has been a low spend week generally, although I haven’t had many bargains to share.
- My eldest got herself some new workout trainers reduced from £115 to £62 so a good buy but still an expensive spend! Although she does train and work out everyday so will get plenty of wear per spend and it is important to have good quality training stuff when you work out that hard.
- We sold some weights using Facebook marketplace this week. Lee had bought them previously for £25 and sold them for £65 so not shabby!
- Staying with Facebook marketplace Lee also spotted someone giving away a football shirt in a display frame. Although the shirt was of no interest to him the frame is ideal for one of his or Dylan’s collectable Villa shirts. The frames cost about £50 so was great to pick one up for free.
- We have some new flooring put down and it is an expensive project but we spotted that there was 20% off the laminate flooring with a trade card and thankfully we knew someone with a trade card!
- We also used TopCashBack when buying some protein and the flooring which was a nice money saver! Protein Works currently have 50% cashback of their already reduced powders etc.
