The best thrifty investment
Here at Oola Moola we’re always on the hunt for clever thrifty tips, budget buys and easily-digestible money management advice. So we were naturally thrilled to discover that the latest book by author India Knight, The Thrift Book: Live well and spend less, rather brilliantly ticks all the right boxes.India’s known for her exquisite taste and sense of style – after all, she penned a book all about shopping! So she’s quite the expert guide in showing you exactly how to dress on a budget (and still look fab); make your own awesome gifts; travel the world with very little money, and grow your own delicious food.
And more. So much more, in fact, that you’ll just have to run out and buy it. But be warned – you might just surprise yourself and save quite a lot of moolah!

A night at the ballet for £14 [Part 1]
From experience, a night at the ballet or opera is by no means an inexpensive exercise. I’m a bit of a ballet fan but despite living in London for over two years, I have never seen an actual production, simply because I assumed I couldn’t afford it.
Things didn’t get off to the greatest start when I visited the Royal Opera House’s website and discovered that Swan Lake is sold out this week. And even if there were some tickets left, I couldn’t buy any tickets within my £14 budget online.
So I called the Royal Opera House instead, hoping for some advice on my dilemma. And I’m very glad I did, as a helpful lady informed me that you can still get cheap tickets for standing room space this week. Tickets go on sale from 10am on the day of each performance, but apparently you have to get there early. People start lining up from 7am! She also gave me another snippet of advice: avoid Saturdays, as they tend to be very busy and even standing room tickets are hard to come by.
Swan Lake finishes next week, so wish me luck in nabbing a cheap ticket!
