    Had to buy milk from Mr T today with my healthy start voucher. Voucher was for £3.10 milk was on special for two lots for £3 and there was no way I was giving Mr T my 10p so I bought a banana for 16p. I only had my £1 I had kept from the pot for emergencies so I used that so I may as well put the 94p change in the pot now :D
    Back on the money saving wagon again!
