    Not a frugal find for me but a real help with our decluttering, and a freebie for someone else - we gave away a music centre we had in the loft, on Freecycle.

    I had the most amazing luck shopping today. I bought a Lancome mascara for my daughter's 18th and one for me and got ten per cent off. Got her some Sanctuary stuff and got a huge free body cream worth £8. Bought a bra from John Lewis and got £7 off as they were price matching Debenhams. Had a Number 7 voucher so got a half price lipstick and I'm compling my daughter a photo album for her birthday and they were buy one get one free in Boots so that was a saving of £16! As I hate shopping with a vengance I was pretty pleased with that!!
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Took my copper change jar into town today to use the HSBC coin machine. Instead of using the ones at the supermarket that charge (8%). Had just under £50 in it. Not exactly free money but it will help pay for a treat (me and my other half) and by using the bank i saved about £4!

    I am delighted with my FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE Frugal Find today :D

    I went to Mr T and, whilst I was choosing veggies, I noticed sheets of bubblewrap on the bottom of empty green display boxes, and between apples, vegs etc.... So I helped myself. I am sure each time they get new stock, these bubble wraps are discarded so I will put them to good use for insulation behind my radiators and maybe the shed... :D

    I am a bit too pleased with myself... Note to self... Get a LIFE!!!

    Frugal thing today was not going out for lunch and instead having a fried egg roll at home with a cup of tea! Delish and kept a few more quid in my pocket.

    i think you need an account at the bank as the money goes into your account, unless someone knows different.
