Congrats, you finally made it past January payday! <\/p>\n

After what felt like months waiting for that paycheck to land, you may have a long list of things you\u2019ve been desperate to buy. But before you go wild, we\u2019re here to make sure you\u2019re shopping smart.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly why we\u2019ll be heading straight to Matalan<\/a>. The high-street store is known for its bargain prices and stylish picks, with loads of fashion<\/a> and homeware pieces that look much more expensive than they really are. <\/p>\n

There are affordable picks across everything from fitness gear<\/a> for working up a sweat in style – seriously, you don\u2019t want to miss out on Matalan\u2019s new and super chic Souluxe collection<\/a> – or a new set of bedding<\/a> to give your bedroom a refresh without breaking the bank. <\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve just about managed to resist adding absolutely everything to our shopping basket, we thought it\u2019d be much more helpful to cherry-pick our favourite items in our guide below. <\/p>\n
