3. Head to Gap – this season’s sale is phenomenal – I bought the blue leopard
vans I’d been lusting after for £19.99! Plus the new season is Rebekkah
Bay’s first full collection (she is the reason my wardrobe is 70% Cos) –
I need to get my hands on these jeans before they sell out:

4. January is statistically the best time to put an offer in on a house. So if you have been looking, now is the time to bite the bullet – you’re more likely to be able to haggle and get a reduced price.
5. Can’t afford to go out? I’m doing some DIY around my flat to help spruce up the place, but also a good excuse to stay indoors rather than spend my non existent savings. I’ve just painted our living room from magnolia to brilliant white – it looks so much fresher – and makes me want to stay at home and enjoy it.
6. Get cooking! Winter is the best time to experiment with great stew recipes – cook one on a Sunday and it will last you through the week. Perfect for January when you could be spending your lunch money on Gap goodies, instead!
Great list! I am jealous you are going to New York 🙂 x

Absolutely agree with your list and will be working my way through it, Paris and Barcelona trip booked, then I think I will jump to no.3 how gorgeous are those jeans if that is the shape of things to come from Gap I am thoroughly inspired!
The new season Gap is gorgeous, back to cool forward-thinking basics, the Gap we all know and love x
PS don't forget to look at my Barcelona frugal city guide before you go – some FAB restaurant recommendations – Catalan is a MUST-DO!
Cards, wrap and new baubles all done! x
Great list! I am new to The Frugality and I am absolutely LOVING your posts, thank you for brightening up January! 🙂
Glad to have you! Hope you enjoy xx
I'm in good company then buying my Christmas cards in January – hubby thought I was losing my bap! haha. Ax
I didn't know that January is the best time to put an offer on a house, we have been looking for ages for a house but to no avail 🙁 Perhaps January will be our month 🙂
Yes, I read it in a magazine article…and funnily enough, I put an offer in on my house and managed to negotiate, too! Good luck with yours!
Funny you mention pure brilliant white; we've been slowly changing our entire house from rather colorful mix of Indian inspired shades to pure brilliant white. It seems to make the place so much lighter!
