Five Fabulously Frugal Things Linky

June 8, 2018 by EmmaB 5 Comments

Welcome back to our money saving linky, we try to find the best deals and share how we have saved money in the previous week.  I have really been trying to cut down my incidental spending and I am doing well.

This week I have saved and made money in a number of ways.

  • First up I have given Dylan (my 14yr old) the responsibility of selling the stuff in the garage. I have been meaning to get things listed for a while but just ran out of time. We have agreed a percentage of sales will be Dylan’s. This way I have made some money, cleared some space but it hasn’t been a drain on my time.
  • I am collaborating with Buy A Gift on a great campaign and they have an offer on their Fathers Day range which gives a 25% discount. You can also enter to win an experience worth £150 over on Emma and 3, click to be taken to the competition page on Emma and 3.
  • Many of us enjoy a cheeky cocktail or two, but they can soon get expensive. Unless of course, you make them at home and drink in the garden. This week I shared a roundup of 12 Prosecco Cocktails to Make This Summer.
  • I have got a cleaner, now this might not seem money saving initially but as a freelancer, I can earn more in the time it would take me to clean. Plus I just don’t enjoy it! Therefore I am playing to my strengths!

FRUGAL THINGS I’VE DONE LINKY

We would love you to join in with us by sharing what frugal and thrifty things you’ve been up to this week. Whether it’s an Instagram picture (#5frugalthings), a blog post or even a video. Just add your link to the linky at the bottom of this post. You don’t have to share five things you’ve done, anything thrifty or frugal that you’ve been doing is perfect.

We’d like to make this a great little community linky so it would be brilliant if you could comment on a couple of the other blog posts linked up. We’ll make sure that we comment on all posts and if you have a Pinterest friendly image then we’ll Pin your post to one of our boards too.

You’re more than welcome to copy and paste the badge above but it would be even better if you could let your readers know that you’re linking up with us by adding a little line to the bottom of your post like this one:
I’m linking up with Cass , Emma and Becky in this week’s ‘Five Fabulously Frugal things I’ve done this week linky.

    Great idea, delegating the sales – I’d love to be able to turn that kind of thing over to my teenager, but I think he’d rather be broke than bother with selling anything 😀

    Getting a cleaner is also on my list of things to do. I know it would free up so much of my time to work but I haven’t plucked up the courage to hand it over yet. I think I may be a bit of a control freak haha.
