Entertaining Bargains

Bear is home! And he's happy to be home! I swear that he's grown an inch, he's looking happy and relaxed and currently asleep. I know that there are so many on here who understand - there has been a gap and now there isn't. 

As I plan to be spending most of my energy on him today, I thought that I'd nip on quickly as I just received a parcel. I used to get a load of stuff from Approved Food but after a while, I just wasn't seeing the stuff that I wanted. Well, I saw a link to Price Panda, I was curious, I visited the site and the rest is history.

I particularly like the black fabric washer sheets which you add to a laundry load of black clothes and wash as normal to revive them. Bear only wears black so I consider these a boon. Anyway, I spent a chunk on little dehumidifiers, which I had been looking for, car mats, broken biscuits, a dozen bars of Pear's soap, some fancy teas that I had been considering for a while but never got to, and all sorts of bits. 

This may sound silly, but for me, one of the the best things was the packaging. The delivery driver commented on how sturdy and well packed the box was, which I thought was unusual, but it's a really good box. I shouldn't hoard cardboard boxes, but I'm tempted with this as it's just such a good size and strength. Someone in that company committed to serious packaging and spent the extra to get stuff printed on it. I think that it's genius marketing.

The packaging encourages you to share hauls on places like Instagram to get freebies and discounts, and what great marketing! I'm only sharing it here, so I'm not going to try tagging anything, but it impressed me.

Now bear is watching back one of the lectures he attended as he has exams the week he goes back so he says he has a lot of studying. I'm going to grab a bite to eat and then settle down with my knitting to enjoy hanging out. 

Hugs and good health to all.
