Last week I posted over on my Instagram this years table DIY Christmas garland… did you see it? I’m still in love with my most prized Christmas creation! 😉

Pre Christmas sales shopping!

My DIY Christmas garland bargain & pre christmas sales shopping!

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while… I very nearly picked up a wreath to cute up when I saw one in Aldi’s Christmas Special Buys a good month or so but I didn’t have the money!

I’m glad I didn’t though because this one is so much much better AND I made it all by myself!

As they do every year B&Q start to reduce their Christmas stock in the 2 weeks prior to Christmas day so I started with a 3ft £3 B&Q Christmas tree for the foliage.. taking it out of the box, laying it down and spreading out only the top layer of the branches.

Obviously it still had the shape of a Christmas tree but nothing that a trim and extensions would solve (what I cut off the bottom I added to the top!) 😉

We bought out current Christmas tree from B&Q in the sale a few years back. We had even put the old one up but after seeing one we really liked just a week before Xmas we ending up taking the old one down and replaced it pretty damn close to Christmas!

The decorations on the wreath came to max £10. They too were discounted (not by much but at least something!) and they all worked perfectly with the green foliage and my already gold table decorations.

So note to self; remember to keep popping into your nearest B&Q in the run up to the big day for some Christmas bargains or check them out online. You never know what you might pick up and I think you will be pleasantly surprised that is for sure!

Thanks for reading!

About

I’m Kirsty.  A mother of two (three if you include the hubby!) and I created this blog back in 2016 as a way to make myself accountable for the savings I had to make myself to my day to life after reducing my hours at work.

Childcare costs would’ve meant I was pretty much working for nothing and we refused to pay it!

It is now my mission to help other Mum’s find ways of doing the same & show that you can live within your means without feeling deprived.  The blog will provide you with ways you can make some extra money online, share frugal living tips you can take away and use yourself and encourage you to manage your money correctly!

Luxury doesn’t have to mean buying a Chanel bag or having a Ferrari on your drive but if you budget well, watch your spends, make the right decisions then you just never know… by cutting down or saving on just one element from your life may open other doors to things that you’ve only ever dreamt about!
