    This sounds interesting. Are you basically getting extra money for buying gift cards? :S
    Its their Xmas saving scheme - if you buy the cards ahead of bonus day which I think is the 16th I think then you get upto £6 per max of £144 that you buy.... You have to use them between the bonus day and 31st Dec but since I spend 70-80 per week in Asda anyway - I have nothing to lose... It was in the MSE weekly e-mail...

    Hi there. I am new to this money saving, but have been watching this post, and thought I would give it a go.

    Can you put me down for £10 a day, and I will try my best.

  • Hi there, I know I am a bit late but I am just getting to grips with my whole situation. I would like to go for £10 a day please!
    I am not too far behind as I have some Quidco money, some amazon payments and some money from paypal (from ebay sales) all winging their way into my account as we speak, I will not count it though until it is all safely in my account.
    Thanks
    P.S - Also did a 'Its your View' survey for £3 but its not credited yet, so won't count that until it does

    Saved £4.90 today by filling a plastic bottle with milk to take into work instead of buying in canteen (0.95p) and used stepper & exercise bike at home this evening saved £3.75 on gym.
    :j
    Got £2.00 from online surveys and £2.50 by joining greasypalm but need to wait until banking to add these. Is that what people do wait unitl they actually get the money. Some sites like survey sites you need to collect £25 before banking.
