It’s always a good idea to try to save money, no matter what your financial situation is. Whether you are feeling flush, or feeling the pinch, it’s always fun to try to get a little bit more bang for your buck. That’s what being a recessionista is all about – not depriving yourself, but stretching your money a bit further…
One of my favorite indulgences is perfume. While I can appreciate a great pair of shoes, or a beautiful piece of jewelry, I have always had a soft spot for fragrance. Not only a soft spot, but spendy taste on top of that. When I was working before I had my boys, I thought nothing of spending $100 or more on a bottle of perfume. Now…not so much. But I found The Perfumed Court, where they take bottles of just about every fragrance you can imagine, and decant them into smaller bottles for a lot less then the cost of a full size bottle. On my first order, I got 6 different scents, including Angel, Paris, and Histoire De Parfum 1804, for only $42. They are small vials, but they have more than enough in them to last awhile.
I would love to hear your recessionista ideas – share them in the comments!
