Hello my loves, I haven’t done a Frugal Friday post for such a long time and the reason why is a bit silly really, I just felt that nobody was reading them and like how businesses get rid of what isn’t working or what isn’t selling – the thought crossed my mind about completely deleting this series altogether. I know that is quite sensitive of me, but I put so much effort in and just felt it wasn’t worth it. So I tucked it away in a little dark, corner.
I gave myself a talking to and after a long big pondering sesh with myself I thought NO! I love this area of my blog because it is so varied and can literally include anything from budget beauty buys to saving money on cooking to amazing discount fashion purchases. Don’t get me wrong I love spending and buying, but sometimes in life there are times when you can’t spend or buy as much and I feel that instead of suffering, it’s so much better to just find an alternative method and this is where being thrifty comes in – hence why I started Frugal Friday, to share with others in my situation or anyone who is just simply interested in ‘getting more for their buck’.
I’m going to be quite frank; I have had times in my life where I have not had to watch a penny and I literally have been lucky enough to have bought and spent on whatever I or we wanted, needed, lusted after and there have been times when I haven’t been able to be so frivolous. I’ve been on both sides and have picked things up along the way.
I started thinking: In real-life I get quite a few people asking how I made that so cheaply, where did I find that product at that bargain price, how do you still manage to save when you are on a tight budget, how comes your skincare has never suffered when you can’t afford to buy luxury products, how do you go out when you are broke? So I thought why don’t I just ask all you beautiful people the same thing and what you would like me to feature? Is there anything you are struggling with whilst on a budget? No matter how old you are, or what stage you are in your life?
