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

[AllTheGinJoints]

How many bags for life did she have with her?

 

[MeWithTheHair]

Alex’s latest post, she’s been ‘pushing herself’ this week….by wearing red trousers…fuck me calm down Alex love, don’t overdo it there

This fully sits in the Cher in Clueless “I broke in my purple clogs” list of achievements. Wow.

As for the “travelled for work” - when the “work” is just “go, travel, it’s on us” that’s not usually what that means, is it?! Me and my OH have to travel for work quite often. To give presentations, win new business, meet clients, catch very early trains etc… Not to sound bitter, but wtf is this made up world she inhabits. I cannot wait for it to all come crashing down. What skills will she have outside of her phone/her own relentlessly redecorated house?!

 

[CausticYoda]

Christ, pushing her crappy meal planners now as well.

'We've been menu planning for fifteen years now', clearly going as well judging the white bread crisp sarnie lunches.

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Can’t believe I’m the first here to wtf to coco pops selection packs for the kids stockings helloooooo

Lucky kids…

Alex seems to have no qualms about spending £££ on herself or taking herself off to California for a long weekend but when it come to her children it’s second-hand everything, a caravan in Skegness and fucking Coco Pops for Christmas? And I say that as someone who loves a chaz but ffs, buy your kids say, some decent shoes. We know you can afford it Alex!

 

[HelenaHandbasket]

I bought some jeans like this, tried them on at home and my husband looked absolutely horrified.

I returned them as no matter what I tried them with I couldn't get past the fact that I looked like I had rickets.

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Oh Alex you comedian, “giving yourself breaks between work” indeed. Your whole life is a break!

 

[Slippersandslacks]

Also, poor Cato - Alex is raking it in with collabs/adverts etc but he's in tatty/ripped second hand shoes and his birthday decorations are a partially deflated sh*tty Halloween balloon arch

 

[Isthatso?]

Alex thinks she’s quite a motivated person
I just nearly choked on my drink hearing that!

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Specsavers! It’s for fucking Specsavers! What a (approachable) style icon.

If you cover up her outfit and just focus on her head she really looks like she could be one of those ppl that sit with the fake babies on TikTok lives all night doesn’t she. Like unwell physically and mentally and in dire need of a bath.

 

[raaraat]

Brave! Like she’s a returning soldier. Everyone’s lost the plot on her post. It’s glasses fgs not adversity.

 

[influencerbore]

I don’t get the “squee, it has pockets!” thing (see Popsy thread) and when influencers do it I just think why? Do they see something I don’t or are they just jumping on the pockets bandwagon? Stop trying to make pockets happen. Women are never going to go out and about with pockets full of phone, purse, tissues, lip balm, keys and whatever else we use our bags for. The pockets we get aren’t sturdy enough and it would ruin the line of the clothes! So what do all these people want pockets for? Who the fuck cares about pockets in pyjamas?
… and breathe. But it’s a perfect example of Alex’s inane “content” lately. So she can fuck off.

Oh god you’re going to hate me! I’m obsessed with pockets. I wore a dress out the other night which had pockets so I didn’t need a bag!
I mean I’m not doing the research like Alex, so I’m no expert.
I also wore glasses…. She’d fucking love me

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Find that reel repulsive tbqh. Aside from the obvious that no one needs that many reusable bags/totes/shoppers - it must be really unpleasant to live with so much utter shit hanging around!

And what was the point of Dopey just standing there looking like a limp dick?

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Alex is so cool and #notlikeothermums that she let her son run around naked at Peggy’s birthday party and put it on Instagram! I mean, she’s covered him up with a emoji but wouldn’t you just tell a kid it’s time to cut the cake so it’s time to put some pants on?

 

[nogoodusernamesleft]

Bets on what she donated? A chic box of matches and a meal planning pad?

 

[MeWithTheHair]

So weird to make the point that writing to your MP is free. Like, obviously it’s free?! What a fruit loop. What a weird thing to co-opt in a weird try at ownership

 

[Tiger tat]

(reusable) bag lady

Thread title?

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

I can’t even comment on the Specsavers ad.

It fills me with rage that she promotes buying Tat from Tiger all year and then especially at Christmas, but then harps on in such a performative way about the environment and being frugal. The special water collecting splatter jug by the sink for collecting leftover water. But will spaff £30 on totally unnecessary, made in China tacky Christmas decorations that will end up in landfill. ARGHFHGHHFHHFH

£30 on tacky Tiger tat yet Cato’s shoes are falling apart.

Someone needs to call bollocks on the Harry Hill comment.

 

[Libertine]

Alex’s email list is her greatest asset. The newsletter is just so she can maintain the email contacts.

Should IG disappear tonight, Alex has a direct line of contact to all audience.

It’s far, far more than another selling platform. It’s possibly the smartest business move she’s ever made.

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Well as we know, buying cheap white bread rather than sourdough is how she managed to have about 6 holidays this year!

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Her latest tight frugal reel on how to reuse an old match box as a birthday card after buying supermarket flowers and wrapped them in nice paper. I. Am. Deceased.
