👗 Vinted
• List at slightly more than your minimum — buyers usually offer close to your target.
• Good photos in natural light make a huge difference to sales.
• Fast fashion (Primark, Shein) usually doesn't sell well — donate after 1–2 weeks.
• Use plastic bags to post — not see-through. Jiffy bags from Poundland work well.
• Bundle discounts attract more buyers and save on postage.
🛋️ Facebook Marketplace
• Best for furniture, appliances, and larger items. Check the 'free' filter regularly.
• Moving house? People give away perfectly good furniture rather than move it.
• Always meet in a public place for strangers. Take someone with you for large collections.
• You can buy and resell — buy low at charity shops or car boots, sell for more online.
🥐 Too Good To Go
• Heavily discounted food from restaurants, bakeries, cafes and supermarkets at end of day.
• Bags typically cost £2.99–£3.99 and are worth 2–3x that in food.
• You don't choose what you get — great for adventurous eaters.
• Set alerts for your favourite local spots. They sell out fast.
🏷️ Yellow Labels (Supermarkets)
• Reduced sections appear in the evening (usually after 7pm) — times vary by store.
• Freeze anything you can't eat immediately — most yellow label items freeze fine.
• Before buying: Do I need it? Will I use it today or freeze it? Is the reduced price worth it?
• Lidl and Aldi often have better everyday prices than yellow labels elsewhere.
👚 Charity Shops
• Best kept secret for books, homeware, and unique clothing finds.
• Oxfam and British Heart Foundation often have higher quality donations in wealthier areas.
• End-of-season sales in charity shops are often virtually free.
• Donating: don't donate broken or stained items — be kind to the staff who sort them.
✈️ Jack's Flight Club
• Alerts for deeply discounted flights — including error fares (accidental cheap prices).
• Free tier: 1–2 email alerts/week. Paid tier (£35/year): 4x more deals.
• Best for flexible travellers — deals are often with 2–6 weeks' notice.
• Tip: set your departure airport and you'll only see relevant deals.
