Good morning, this is a bit random but hey you need random once in a while!!

Found a little £10 New look gift card in my purse, i bought it as a back up gift for my sister but got her something else.

Today as a challenge, I am going to go to New Look and see how many items I can get for £10!! Could do with treating myself as I am currently money saving in all possible routes as debt is high and need to get it down!

Shops like Primark are easy to get lots for £10 but I think this will be interesting! I was reading last night on here how to cut back on shopping bills, which I found ever so interesting!

Would love to hear if anyone has ever given themselves a challenge like this!!!

Will post my failure or success later on! :cool:

So you're going to buy things "because they're cheap", rather than things you actually need the most?

Doesn't sound very MoneySaving to me

I find NL arent as cheap as you think, so dont think this challenge will work unless they have a great sale on.

well what a successful trip one has had...... attitude of how many things I can get with £10 gift card turned into success and not even for me as I found things for the family.

I got:
tshirt for cousin1 - £2.00 (reduced from £8) bday present
1 necklace for sister - £3.00 (reduced from £10) christmas present
2 bracelets for mum and sister - £2 - (£1 each) (reduced from £4 each) christmas present
1 belt for cousin2 - £2.00 (reduced from £6.00) christmas present
1 pair of earrings for auntie - £1.00 (reduced from £3.00) christmas present

See it just shows if you go to the sale part and hunt around you do get bargains! My christmas shopping is on its way and saving me a small fortune,

Who said I wasnt money saving???

OK, I'll eat my words. Well done.

That is, of course, that the clothes actually look good... anything with big shiny letters on doesn't count

missnokia

hehehe its all about the shiny letters!!!!!

I got a fab blouse in NL last week - down from £28 to £4 on a clearance rail. Used the 20% off voucher in the instore mag (as per this site) and it cost me only £3.20. Not a place I normally shop but was delighted with my wee bargain!
