Frugal treats

Hi all Smile first time I’ve started a thread Smile. So I’ve overspent last week and would like to rein in spending this week to make up for it. Has anyone got any suggestions for some ways to help make the week frugal but lovely? So far I have an early night with a book, diy mani pedi. Have done an intense meal plan to hopefully create no waste.

Garden picnic? If we have a beautiful day, sitting outside on the grass for an afternoon with some tea and cake always does wonders for my spirits.

Online meditations or yoga? There's loads on YouTube.

Make a face mask and exfoliator out of things like sugar/coffee/oats? Loads of 'recipes' online.

Have a film night and pop some corn - you can get a bag of unpopped for a pound or two and it will make loads. Lionsgate live is showing the Hunger Games free on YouTube at 6pm on Saturday if that's of interest.

Start an art or writing project?
