So firstly, we are curbing our expenses - today we had lunch which consisted of 18p noodles from Aldi I had Curry flavour, Chris has Chicken and we had bread left over which cost 50p from the local bakers - bargain!
Then we listed some items on ebay, we are only talking about making a few pound but we are doing what we can just as a precaution.
It is free listing this weekend so that saved a little. I know some are reluctant to list on free listing weekend because there is so much more competition but as it is free I am taking the chance.
Other measures I am taking is I am using up shower gels from Christmas, have cut the tops of the tubes of my foundation as usual (won in a prize) my moisturiser and my hair cream.
I have also bought some stamps. I do a little comping not as much as I did but use a few stamps now and again so I bought about £20.00 worth might get a few more given the price rise at the end of the month.
Oh and don't forget next weekend is free National Trust weekend at some places see link below.

I do find things sell a little slower on free listing weekends, especially when they first started to do them but now they happen more regularly I am not too worried and it saves me money making up for the bit less I possibly make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the National Trust link, I will have a look if there is anywhere near me.
Good Luck with the belt tightening!
Good luck with your eBaying. I've got quite a bit on there at the moment and may add some more this evening.
