2021 Fashion On The Ration Challenge

A no coupon spend to report of some jazzy almost 'damask' print peg leg trousers, side zip fastening, H&M (but the posh H&M gold label not the black one) in Sue Ryder reduced to £1.90.

Popping them in the wash, but they feel pretty decent. Not really sure how to style them, as yet..... but I remain optimistic HAHA

Two no coupon purchases to declare from yesterday of light weight scarves from our local hospice charity shop. A little pricier than some places at £3 each but the hospice looked after both my mum and one of my aunties so I know any money they receive is well spent.

Thanks again @maryb for the heads up on the M&S Flexfit bras!  I got the couple I ordered yesterday (ordered 2 different cup sizes as wasn't sure which I needed!) and pleased to say that one of them fits absolutely perfectly and very comfortable too!  The other one has been packaged up to be taken back and will definitely be ordering at least one more but will wait until I have the refund for the returned one!

Glad you like it.  It’s worth signing up for their Sparks loyalty card as you’ll get a 20% discount every now and then so I wait for that and then order online

Thanks - I've already got the Sparks card and have had a couple of good offers previously.  Biggest problem for me is remembering to look to see what there is but definitely going to keep an eye on it over the next couple of months as would like to get at least another bra and possibly two!

New slippers but no coupons as they were gifted to me, friend was given them for her birthday but they are not her style so she passed them on to me, not my usual style either but I will give them a try

Another spend of 5 coupons for a pair of waterproof walking shoes. My current ones are starting to get a bit damp if it's really wet and I'm starting to feel stones through the soles, but I'll carry on wearing them if the weather's ok to get the last bit of wear out of them. I got the new ones today as they were 45% off in the local outdoor shop and I had a £5 off a £25 spend too. 
I'm quite surprised at how many coupons I've used as I thought I hardly ever bought anything new, it's been a bit of an eye-opener keeping track!

A couple of clothing buys to report: no coupons for a paisley skirt from a rather posh charity shop discovered on a holiday expedition. ☺️ Also wool-topped insoles… what couponage would they be, please?

Just had a thought....I usually buy PJs and socks for DDs for Christmas. I'm going to have to watch my coupons!

You are! Unless they contribute their coupons towards it...
