    NOT BUYING IT 2018!

    Consumerism is.....buying things you don't need with money you don't have to impress people you don't know and probably wouldn't like even if you did know them.
  • Went into The Works on the 19th Dec and got the Wartime Farm book for £2.50:j DH's Mum loved it :D

    I got a half price turkey crown in Aldi on the 23rd December cost me £4.73 and is in the freezer waiting for Easter :D

  • i bought 2 "free" Disney dvds (which was at the time bogof), bought them through topcashback, received my cashback for them and exchanged the cashback for Argos vouchers, as you get a bit more extra money then i spent my Argos vouchers on toys for our local church collection ( 2 for £15), so i ended up with two Disney dvds, a kitchen and a garage for 12.99 =):money:

    I picked up a pair of Ecco brand new boots from a charity shop for £3 and sold them a week later for £137.50 on the bay :D That profit covered all my Christmas presents with about £19 spare which I spent on food and selection boxes for our local foodbank :)
