Buy own brand? Eat less?

I have turned the heating down, and it comes on a bit later and goes off earlier.
I try to minimise washing; yes DC clothes require a lot of washing, but as adults, I will wear a jumper 2 or 3 times before it is washed, etc
I use the dishwasher less often; I try to use the oven and hob more efficiently (ie not the oven on for 1 thing, etc). I try to hang washing outside if it is dry (and even in winter, if it is windy).
We have cancelled netflix; eat out fewer times, try not to waste food, by working out a menu, etc;
Walk to shops more (to save on petrol)

@MovingAround90 how long after you listed on Vinted did you get a sale? What sort of stuff do you list? No one buys my items 😂 any tips?

@heartbroken22 about a week the first time, and it generally varies from a couple of days (popular brands like Adidas) to a few weeks.

I keep the prices low and lots of pics, preferably a flattering photo of someone wearing the item.
