Hello,

Are you ready to see the back of endless January AND do something thrifty? Well, you've come to the right place, because the last bit of our Jump Start is a Tenner Week budgeting challenge. Yay!

The theme this time will be Re-use & Recycle Week, and there's a new activity each day to save you money & save the planet at the same time. Scroll down to see what's happening from Monday with the schedule and stocktake.

In other news, a skincare product that sparked a TikTok craze has turned out to be Really Very Good. Genuine shocker. Check it out along with other affordable best buys in my latest review article.

This week's newsletter is brought to you by the power of Uniqlo extra-warm thermals and second-hand jumpers from Vinted.
