While I'm trying to cut back on spending, it makes sense to snap up a bargain when it's available. I aim to buy the majority of clothing in future from charity shops (it's Green and ethical as well as cheaper than dept stores). This top's from the hospice charity shop, and originally from Monsoon. A coral coloured bargain at £4.50. The ceramic pots were the last two on display. Every year Wilkinsons sell off their gardening supplies cheaply, and there were reduced from £7.00 each to £2.00. Of course the reason they sell off the gardening gear is to make floor space for Christmas clutter. How depressing is that in September?!! (I even overheard a guy talking to his child yesterday about writing a letter to Santa!!)
Back to the main theme of this post - that being frugal isn't about denying yourself everything. Don't be mean with others, and don't be mean with yourself. Small treats help the day go more sweetly, and needn't cost the earth.
