The Frugality/Alexandra Stedman #10 No wonder she’s absolutely minted, she’s selling her freebies on Vinted

[louderforthecheapseats]

On more than one post….shes been deleting comments on the Anya post as she told everyone the wrong time and it was sold out, so can imagine she’ll be knackered deleting all the negative comments on her latest post

Anyone looking at her gift guides and thinking how depressing. I haven’t seen one thing I’d want to spend my money on (and definitely not the fucking knitted bonnet) it’s all so meh

Raining today. Good luck with the white skirt.

Ok, I had no strong feelings on pockets til Mr Uber bought me a Soho House dressing gown for Christmas. It’s been a source of irritation as it has (a) no pockets and (b) the belt ropes are started/fixed at the back of your waist so you basically can’t sit on a toilet with it on as there’s a very good chance the ropes will fall in the water. I had no idea how annoying no pockets were.

I’ve persevered for nearly a whole year. At the same time I seemed to acquire a few pairs of pyjamas with no pockets. The ones that really pissed me off were our xmas ones where my husband got a draw cord and pockets, but my identically priced women’s ones had neither.

I have a toddler who wants to be carried a lot. I also like cups of tea and my mobile phone. You need pockets at this stage of life. Here ends my lesson on pockets.

However I won’t be buying any Alex recommends as like with everything she does, they’ll be a bit shit, really overpriced, or form over function.

Dressing gowns deffo need pockets. What horror of a company makes them without?

(Apologies for pocketgate- I’m talking about when we have them in EVERYTHING, not everything needs them, but some key items do. It’s the role of the company to realise what we need pockets in! Cos are most to blame. They whack pockets in all their stuff so everything looks bulky on the hips)

In fairness, it’s a lovely coat and she will get years of wear out of it. The colour really suits her, I think.

I actually like Søstrene Grene but I don’t gallumph in looking gormless.

How much tat does she need?

 

[louderforthecheapseats]

She looks awful in that Clinique ad, so pasty and puffy. She really needs to overhaul her diet it’s really showing on her face

 

[louderforthecheapseats]

I’m now curious, salted butter and honey on bread? Only me?

No I’m here for that

I missed the wrapping paper virtue signal the first time around. Yes Alex we get it, you’re SO into diversity.View attachment 2646593

To be clear, I think the paper itself is great but with Alex it always comes across as 100% performative.

That’s so ridiculous

Agree! I like my share of pricey brands, though I usually find them on sale on Vinted, but I also don’t pretend to be “frugal” or so poor that I can’t afford sourdough. And I spend money on other people too!

You mean you don’t just gift post office candles tied together with ribbon that someone wrapped your last birthday present with?!

 

[BillieR]

I did not believe you and I RAN to companies house. Wow her accountants are rubbish, no need to disclose profit or dividends for a company that size but they have done. Her accounts are way better than Alex’s (though we will see the frugality’s latest ones soon). And I’m sure Alex and Dopey are indeed raking it in, just not quite to that extent.

When you say rubbish what exactly does that mean? For someone who has no idea about accounting

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Washing doesn’t seem to be a priority in that household - not the clothes and not her or Dopey either.

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

Not to mention all the “splatterware”.

 

[BlairWaldorf86]

Never heard them mention child benefit, it would be interesting to know whether they get that or not.

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Dopey hair are so so greasy. I would change pillow case every night

You can literally see the grease in her latest Stories

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

It’s ok, she’ll afford it by buying all the kids’ Xmas presents from the chazzer.

 

[gollygally]

Have we reached Peak Alex?

Wtf did I just watch?
Pay for this content?

 

[whoareyoukidding]

That outfit is dreadful!
Is she honestly going to wear that top for 5 days straight?!

 

[louderforthecheapseats]

That’ll be making an appearance shortly

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Her under a tenner gift guide is a joke. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’d be pretty bloody miffed if someone gave me a box of matches for Christmas!

Her latest newsletter also has an appearance by Saffie, a “social media content editor”. Employed by Alex??
