What Have You Spent Today 7th March 06

D&DD

Had to go shopping today so spent £58 at Mr T's ...BUT saved a bundle with BOGOF's and all my pile of coupons,it should have been £70 odd :eek: All budgeted for though so I'm a happy girlie
I would like to say that I always used to clip coupons but sort of fell out of the habit and since going back to them I have saved around £40 this month

I've spent £7.03 in Tesco mostly on packed lunch for OH. I got a 30% discount due to a Sainsburys coupon and the pizza I couldn't find in the huge branch on Saturday was bogof here - I got 4 pizzas for my £2.49

D&DD - do you know what the policy is for magazine coupons (which seem to be mainly branded ones) is - do you need to buy that brand in Tesco? I agree that coupons are great - I've always used the ones sent to me or till spits but am now just getting onto cross-supermarket ones!

I've had a really flat day due to my everlasting cold having another flare up - I can't seem to get rid of it and every few weeks it lands me with congestion or earache or a scratchy throat. So muchos laziness all round - I skipped mothers and toddlers with my sister and niece as we were due to go on a farm visit and it would have been slogging through lovely mud.

A no spend day for me the first for 2-3 weeks and I'm soooooo pleased!

Today i bought some crisps to go with my sandwiches (bread and butter - must be more imaginative!) 60p

I have just ordered a Tesco delivery £48 which should last at least two weeks hopefully. Have chosen the 'no substitutes' option as ended up with 40 kitkats last month!!

The secret to no spend days seems to be organisation - going to try and be more organised

Have managed to spend nothing today well cheesed off as party season has just opened and I have 4 pressies to buy already let alone my sons birthday next month .

£2 on car parking which I'll get back from work
£15 odd on some bits n pieces from Summerfield
£8 on posting ebay packages

so that's £25 for me... but £10 of this has been paid already or is recoverable

Nothing for me again today, although hubby may have had to get fuel again (his job involves driving round to every part of the county!)

vixxen

Too much! £10 on a pub lunch (girl at work's birthday) and £40 in Tesco

ladywood

£2.29 on milk and firelighters. Ran out of time to go shopping so had to call at garage. Proper shop tomorrow instead.

Hi Palescene sorry to hear you're not feeling great and the weathers foul here too cold and rainy..
I got away with everything at my Tesco's,I get the daily mail everyday anyway and have had loads of magazine coupons for Grazia etc out of there they take all those wether or not you buy it in my one and they are always worth between £1 and £2 I also had 5 of the same for some healthy yoghurt thing which went through, a nappy one and a weightwatchers meal one.I didnt buy any of the above :rotfl:
I haven't tried the cross supermarket ones yet as I need to read the policies first to be forearmed and to be honest hubby always walks off when I get my stash out if I had many more he would make me walk home :rolleyes:
