The Frugal Fairy // Smart Shopping, I saved $19 with coupons!

 I want to be more conscious with my spending and I’ve started couponing! I got all the coupons from inserts in the Sunday paper. I spent an afternoon cutting them up. I put all of them in my purse, then went to the store.

I took $40 cash so I wouldn’t get carried away. I got my cart and went to the clearance section to see if I could use any of my coupons, then the makeup isle for some concealer and mascara, two items I was out of.

I saved $19 on products I needed and good brands! When I got home I scanned my receipt into an app called Fetch and Ibotta.

I got .25 cents back from shopping at Family Dollar using Ibotta and 1,333 points for buying certain brands on Fetch. (Pro Tip: use my code 𝗛𝗪𝟳𝗚𝟵𝟮  for your first 2,000 points!) It’s not much, but it’s good to know I’m getting something back from shopping.

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

 Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari.  The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari /  The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear.  I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay  Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
