Love the CS haul.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -
Collected a chest of drawers off gumt today, only a mile away! We manhandled them into the car, and a handy neighbour helped us get them out of the car and in to the house. Pip and I had a workout getting them upstairs (we're both still full of cold and snot). Pip liked them, so we moved them into their room, playing Tetris with the drawers and shell of their existing drawers!I have finished 8 turtles.NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!4

That CS haul was great! Everyone was a winner!
I was away in Europe last week and went to the local super cheap CS equivalent that I know well - got a Balmain jacket with a missing belt for 10 euros! It looks fabulous as well, it screams I look chic
- their jackets are £2-3k upwards new..Might be my best find ever DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
