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. Photo below: Needful things! Dove Body Wash, Palmolive Degreaser/Dish Soap, Breyers Chocolate Icecream, AXE deodrant, AXE body spray,...

My First Return / Refund on Depop! For Resellers. With Receipts!!

 How much money did I end up losing with this? The reason for the refund will make your eyes roll. Let's start from the beginning: Listed these dover thrift books - 4 women's writers, all of them are a collection of short stories. Beautiful books, I wanted to keep them for myself anyways. I had them listed for $24. I knew I could sell them between $6-$8 and I knew that it was an awesome collection to find all together. These books I got at the Hospice for a quarter each. So my COG was $1.  The buyer messaged me and talked me down on my price, I agreed because I was hurting financially. Here's her messages asking if I accepted offers, which I do, I have it in my bio.  And then, to my dismay, 8 days later she requests a refund. I try to handle it with grace, of course I want to save the sale.  My reply: I am scared that I was that vulnerable, and I don't recommend other sellers be that open because then her denial felt rather insensitive to my very real situation....
