Took kids to a b-day party today and they got LOTS of free food for lunch!!
I had already got the present a while back. It was in a park cafe so OH spent £2 on some hot choc and crips :eek:

Other than that, ordered some Tesco shopping for tomorrow but used a £10 off voucher code from the vouchers board. :T

Today I've spent quite a bit:

£20.00 - Petrol. Budgeted for so all OK.
£24.99 - DVD Player. Xmas present for Dad.
£34.99 - Freeview Box. Xmas present for Mum.

Quite a good day all in. A big chunk of my Christmas shopping is now done, I know what I need to get for my sister too. So, though my wallet has had a bit of a pounding, it's all good!

Oh, and I sold a book on Amazon for over a tenner, so that deserves a... :j

Well, finally got around to doing the grocery shopping - phew!... ... went to Tescos. Spent £42.77 for both food and non-food items. The non-food items such as disenfectant, freezer bags, rubbish sacks and so on will last for some 3 - 6 weeks I guess, fresh vegetables about a week or so and other food items such as frozen vegetables, English mustard, marmalade, pepper and the like, some several weeks.

My weekly spreadsheet for groceries for the current year is averaging £29.30 per week - I guess there is still room for improvement.....

$17mma

£55!! :eek:

Went to Somerfield and bought the £19 dvd player that was posted on MSE... been trying to get the thing connected to TV, Satellite.. no joy

And bought some goodies from Asda, new store opened in MK.

I've been on a bit of a shop today, but I don't feel too bad because none of it was for me.
Loving saturdays at the moment because I get up at 6.30am and meet a friend for a 5km power walk (only been doing it a month so not up to jogging yet). Get the paper on the way home and read that with breakfast after having a shower in my dismal bathroom - why does this make me cheery? Because it's being ripped out and refitted in a few weeks, hooray!! Then take oldest child (aged 4) to swimming lesson at 10am. Get home by 11am and spend quality family time at the library.
Todays PM activity was the school Christmas bazzar - Spent a fair amount there, the flipping school is bleeding me dry!! Then went and did lots of lovely shopping with the family. £7 off 4yr olds £25 new coat plus another 25% at the til (ADAMS). 3-4-2 on wrapping paper at matalan and picked up an advent thingy that was half price too. x2 HUGE piggy banks from BHS on 2-4-1 (£5 each), then got another 20% off at the til. Hope these will get 4 and 2 yr old offspring saving the pennies! Also bought some beautiful handmade paper from an amazing discount book shop and am using an idea from this site to make a box of inspirational quotes for my mum for Christmas.
Days like today just leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. I might even treat myself to a little bit of chocolate!!

Spent £5.97 in Asda but actually paid £4.27 as I used £1.70 in coupons (this brought me 2 boxes x Bold 2 in 1, 4 x bottles of Persil washing up liquid and 1 X Elmlea dbl cream because I took in a flyer from another supermarket to do a price match/(BOGOF for the washing up liquid). Most of it is actually for my mother, so effectively I'm only paying £0.27 for my shopping when she gives me £4 back.

Got a free Sun paper as I had a free Sun coupon.

Boots spent £1.98, paid £1.78 as I had a 10% off coupon for 2 Ev Primrose shower gels and got 200 advantage card points back onto my card. Redeemed 135 points from my card for some baby biscuits.

Spent £8.60 on 2 cinema tickets for Harry Potter. Used 2 money off coupons so saved around £2 if I had paid in full.

Spent £4.43 at McDonalds for my dinner and cola for my husband before we went to the cinema.

Not too bad really.. I saved money where I could.
