I hadn't seen Rainbow Drops for ages either. My Daughter (age 15) and I were talking the other day about what Father Christmas got her over the years and Rainbow Drops were one of the things she always had in her stocking. So when we were in ASDA on Friday I spotted a large bag of Rainbow Drops and bought them for her. Smile on her face - priceless. Definately worth 50p.
Love the idea of this being a thread for 'Silly Spends' - definately how I will look at them in the future!0 -
First spend of the week from 'silly budget' yesterday.
£4.05 on 1.5 pints of beer.
Why? Because we'd just booked the church to get married next year! :j There was vague need to celebrate!
Congratulations! :T Don't worry, you're more than let off with that excuse!

PS 87p on cheapo sanitary towels Fri just gone, total spend for last week was £4.11.0
