💫 frugally thriving 💫

back to leeds today, literally can't get any concrete work done on my diss without the student factory that is the uni library :'( but on the plus side i got a last minute ticket from london for £20 quid !

From a week or two ago but just look at the view from my Leeds -> London train... sheepies !! 🥹🥹 bought for £15.50 with a railcard 2 months in advance as well, bargain !!

today was a treat latte from my local coffee shop ! if im buying coffee (which is more or less a bimonthly treat) i make an effort to go to small businesses in the area - prices are better, coffee is fresher and you're supporting the non-chain economy ! makes the coffee taste a little sweeter :) this was a £3.35 vanilla iced latte to accompany a 3hr study sesh while i research my dissertation.

picked up a cheddar and broccoli soup with cheese and onion roll for lunch, super filling and only £2.07 for 2 portions ! the best part is the soup pots are resealable, i always wash them out to use as containers for homemade salads and pasta pots. also refreshed the flowers on my desk by adding £1 daffodils to the remaining stems from my last bouquet :))

underconsumption win of the day: had an hour between my train to university and my volunteer mooting workshop, so met my partner in town for a spontaneous date. managed to pick up lunch at Prezzo for 99p - two soft drinks, pizza and pasta for £11 ! all credit goes to save the student for their fantastic list of date night offers and discounts :)
