1. used reusable natural loofahs I got from hotels and put them in the washing machine - they also save on soap 2. Started wearing less mascara and makeup overall - I’ve been wanting simplicity lately 3. Did at home manicure using the same set of tools 4. Left my food shop one extra day so I could get creative with the remaining ingredients and use up cupboard food 5. Wore the same silk polka dot dress to yet another event because it’s timeless and no one cares 6. I couldn’t get my hands on a certain book for a book club so I listened to an audiobook version for less £ 7. I’ve been watching some older, public domain films that are either silent or from the 40-60s. It’s a good way to test your attention span and they’re free to watch. 8. Went through all my expenses for last month in a spreadsheet to see what I actually spent on different categories 9. Brought home leftovers from a meal out because it would have been thrown away otherwise 10. Kept plastic cartons from grapes as storage for my cupboards - they work well and they’re not seen anyway If you want more personal finance + intentional spending content follow for more.
