Ignore my mistake in saying brought instead of bought pls🫣 I’m not ashamed to admit that I haven’t always got ‘being frugal’ right❌ I’ve definitely crossed over into cheaping out and paying the price in other ways🥲
1. Buying things just because they were cheap💄 - I used to get so tempted by a good bargain that I’d forget the purpose of why I needed something. For example, buying a shimmer powder instead of a setting powder left me with no option but to go powderless for longer and eventually buy a dupe because I’d wasted money on the wrong product!
2. Buying Advanced Singles for the most random time 🚝 - I used to think that waiting a bit longer to save money made sense, but in hindsight I probably spent all the money I saved and more waiting around and buying coffee or lunch to hang around!
3. Buying the cheapest option without understanding why it was so cheap✈️ - when I flew Wizz Air, I felt sick paying £65 for a bag I’d already paid for🤢 whilst I know it was deliberately unclear from the airline, it was my responsibility to check properly and a lesson learned for sure
