The Disney themed clothes at Primark. And their Ugg style fluffy boots (actually not sure if they’re more for indoor use). Seriously so cute and comfy

Actually now I think about it I think the Disney stuff might be pyjamas but I do wear the tops out lol

Primark gel effect nail varnish is great for the price but sadly Primark don't have a huge colour range. Their lipsticks are also really good.

Iceland's takeaway style pizzas

7th Heaven/Montague Jeunesse face masks and hair masks (especially the honey hair mask)

Yes! That honey hair mask works wonders. Even better than a branded pot of hair mask I've found.

Yep that’s the one! They’re fab, I’m annoyed I wasted so much money on Huggies

huggies have let me down so many times. So many times that I’ve ended up with a finger burst through the wipe and poo everywhere.

thank you! I’ll order them now!

Boots own brand brown dry shampoo £1.5 as opposed to Batiste which is like £4/5

I bought this recently and I like it a lot more! The smell is better and it feels nicer in my hair. Definitely a convert from Batiste which is £4+ even in cheaper stores like B&M 🙄

I'm a bit late on the subject but Tesco do 2x pack of unpadded, seamless bras for £15 or something. They're all I wear, last ages and wash well in a delicates bag in the washing machine 👍

I’m not sure if they’re the same ones, but I got a two pack of crop top style bras, slightly ribbed, from Tesco. Great quality, and I wear them all the time. Matching knickers as well!

Well, I've just finished reading Denise Van Outens life story A Bit of Me - not someone I know much about but a page turner. I've also read The Alan Rickman Diaries, Tina Brown's The Vanity Fair Diaries and the Palace Papers, Life's What You Make It - Mr perfect Philip Schofield's life story 🤢🤮
Also Death in St Petersburg Tasha Ashley (love these). I also got a book from Poundland that I love one of the Borrow a Bookshop series and I've read another in the series. I'm a massive Trisha Ashley fan which I suppose might be classed as chick-lit?
Basically I just read anything that sounds interesting when I pick the book up.
I quickly forget (menopause brain) what I've read, though which can be annoying. For example recently I forgot why George Michael sent Denise Van Outen flowers to say he was thinking of her, when she went through a bad time - so frustrating! 😄

Oh I think you might find more common ground than you think. And there’s a few of us forgetful readers there. I’m even worse than you though, I don’t even remember reading most of the books I’ve read. Even reading the synopsis doesn’t help. Totally blank slate. 😂

Yes they often have a few Inkey List products in Home Bargains. I got the PCA Bond Repair hair treatment for £3.50 a few weeks ago and it seems to have done wonders for my damaged hair.
Does anybody have any recommendations for good value face cleansers? Ideally one that’ll do a good job at removing makeup! I’ve been using an expensive one for years but really not sure it’s worth it, given it’s just rinsed off straight away.

I have the Inkey List Centella and Green Tea cleanser to use next which I bought in Home Bargains. I've nearly finished the Garnier Micellar Gel Cleanser which is great as it doesn't break my skin out and is about £2.50 in Savers.

I like the elf products, I use their primer and setting spray. Cheap and cheerful too :)

I have an elf primer, and a soft green eye pencil which I love … have given up the black eyeliner as this seems more flattering and easy to apply. All amazing prices, I watch sophdoeslife a lot on YouTube and she uses elf often.

I might kick myself for this 😆
I like https://www.approvedfood.co.uk/
They sell out of date or ‘nearly’ out of date food
Often big brands like hotel chocolat etc. Great for cereal bars / snacks / stocking up on stuff for the house.
there’s a minimum spend sadly! So I only order a few times a year. But worth knowing about 👍 (shop around tho, not everything is always cheaper, but sign up to email alerts as stock changes daily, I don’t work for them btw lol)

Thanks, I love stuff like this, I’m really trying to cut down on my food waste and things like this are great ❤
