£2013 in 2013 topic is here - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4345007

Introduction quoted from 2012 topic
Right who's with me?

I am setting myself a challenge of generating/ making savings of £2012 in 2012. I read the millionaires challenge and Make £10,000 challenge, but they are just a tad out of my reach:p

I work full time, have a loooong commute and various other commitments so just dont have the time to commit to those amounts.

This year I have kept track of the additional money I have made/saved and my tally is at £1445.69. So £2012 shouldnt be tooooo much of a stretch.

This year I set up a spreadsheet and had the following catagories for each month, but you track it however you like.......
  • Selling - Ebay, Amazon Market Place, Music Magpie, Local Paper, Boot Fair, Swapping, Green Metropolis
  • Surveys - You Gov, one poll, Pure Profile
  • Paid to Click - Archer Fish, Pigsback
  • Cashback - Top Cashback, R Points, Free Fivers, Quidco, FatCheese, My Shopping Rewards, Misc
  • Mystery Shopping - Grass Roots, Gap Buster, Retail Eyes
  • Freebies - Applied for, Blagged, Multibuys, Chance, Try me free
  • Coupons - Applied for, Blagged, chance
  • Loyalty - Club Card, Nectar, local garden centre, east coast, cafe nero, advantage cards
  • Complaints - Train delay, voucher, cheque, product
  • Trials - Tesco, Boots
  • Misc - unfranked stamps, overtime, bonus, competition wins, money found on floor, Interest
I will provide a monthly update.
Is this anything obvious I have missed and who is with me?
I was not confident in 2013 that I would make £2013 but I got there.
I am confident I can get to £2014 this year.

No spreadsheet this year. I will add members names to the second post here and if people want to have a running total they can do. I'm not doing a spreadsheet because in 2013 we had over 80 members sign up and then disappear so its not worth my time.

    Approx targets for month/week

    2014 divided by 12 (month) = £167.84
    2014 divided by 52 (week) = £38.74

    Please do not worry if you don't hit the exact amount each month. You may earn more on some months than on others.
    Even if you just make an extra £5, that is brilliant, well done.
