Hush up and shop

It’s a sad fact that for many of us, inflation rises far quicker than our salaries, and in the last year alone I’ve really felt the pinch. So, I’ve been doing the best I can to make my money stretch further: avoiding unnecessary purchases, implementing a ‘no spend week’, and generally trying to think consciously about every penny I spend.

But there are consequences to removing a girl’s right to spend (in my case at least). I love treating myself to little titbits as rewards or compensation. Whether it’s a hot coffee on a particularly bad morning, a nice smelling shower gel when I’m feeling a bit down, or new bed sheets to reward myself after performing well at work, I’m a carrot-and-stick kinda person. That’s just me.

Saving money and treating yourself are hardly mutually exclusive, so I needed to find a way to buy the odd treat, while also saving some money. It was then that I came across Hush Hush, founded by Mark Pearson of My Voucher Codes, which is an online department store with some insane deals on all sorts of things, from pillows and kitchen scales to spa days and baby clothes.

What’s more, the deals are constantly changing, so it’s worth dipping into to see what you can find.

Here are some of my current favourites from the Hush Hush website.

  1. This sounds interesting! I'm also a person who likes to have a treat on a bad day/week!! If I can do this and spend a little less in the process that's okay by me ;) xx

  2. Is it weird that I'm a bit sad that the fox jumper is for babies? (unless it means baby fox as in, the fox on the front is a baby but they make it in adult size) haha x
