Everyone loves a good bargain right? Well, I do! So I set up my own weekly email, to tell everyone about amazing bargains!
The recession was still very much upon us
(and still is) and back in 2013, I had lost a day in my working week, having to go down to 4
day weeks, in order to keep my job. Bad times, but instead of wallowing in
that, I did something about it. I started scouring the internet for money
saving ways, and how to get the looks of the celebs, but for much cheaper.
I set up a weekly email of bargains, mainly
beauty bargains, but I do take in the feedback, and find other content which
people need and want in their lives. It’s a 70+ strong following now, of my
friends, colleagues and online people, and a weekly thing I am proud of, as I
know it helps a lot of people.
I am back to the full time job now, but I
have carried it on, going into the 63rd week of sending the weekly
email, packed full of beauty bargains, free samples and the best deals I can
find.
Here I will give you a snapshot, of how you
can save money, if you don’t already know, and tell you this, it’s ok if you
have no money, as there’s so many bargains out there, that there’ll always be
something to grab as a cheer up.
Beauty Counters
Make overs
are usually free, and they’ll use their products on you, and sometimes offer
samples. OK, I kind have the gift of the gab, and I am a cheeky person, but it
doesn’t hurt to ask eh? If you get a sample, try it out and you can always set
up a “Sample Saturday” on your blog!
Magazine recycling
People do
this already right? I do it with the work girls, we all read our magazines,
then bring them in to swap with each other, that way you can read them all, for
a fraction of the cost. Sometimes we’ll each buy one, and then swap.
Swap shop
Best day ever when
people bring in their unwanted shampoo, skincare and nail polish. It’s shopping
but swapping!
Oh freebies – My one true love.
I love a freebie. Scourer the internet, type “Freebie” into the twitter search
bars, or if you’re lazy sign up to my mail, and sign up for the delights that
come through the post!
Points Cards
Debenhams have
free samples with theirs. Boots offer samples sometimes, or build up the points
and spend on Chanel and feel fabulous (yeah I do that!) and remember you coffee
points cards. Alright so that one isn’t beauty, but you’ll need a sit down and
drink, after shopping away at all the counters.
Think about all those counters, Boots,
Debenhams, House of Fraser, Harvey Nichols, a beauty haven, and on Sundays it
is super quiet, so go treat you and your mum, or best friend to a freebie
facial or make over! I do that quite often, and I love it.
I think the freebies section on my email is
the most popular, and I love scouring the magazine, shops and online for all
the beauty bargains, as it fills me with joy… Or lust. Plus the fact that I’m
helping people who are in need of a pick me up, is a pretty special feeling
too!
So, you're all very welcome to join my weekly email, just email me at s.panasuik@btinternet.com and i'll add you!
It goes out every Tuesday, and is filled with beauty, supermarket deals and everything you'll need to save money! :)
