Ive just had a quick tot up of todays food reduction savings and from the rest of this week also to add :

Buying reduced items at local shops and supermarkets this week total savings
£23.32
I did a car boot on Sunday so profit after expenses : £53.00
I needed a new iron but bought one off the car boot instead so saved £20.00 off the one I was going to get from a shop
Bought some jeans from River Island sale yesterday with a voucher I had left over from Xmas so saved £20.00
Decided to look on Ebay for the lights for my front room I was going to get and found a seller who is dropping teh light off for me tonight so I saved money off the item and he is delevering for free also so saved £25.00 by getting it off ebay instead


So I smashed my goal Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm declaring at £238. It's better than I thought I would do despite not being on target. See you over in April.

£25 from dad
£25 from mum
£85 saving on a dishwasher (for mothers day, took the one from the shop floor for an £85 discount, got it home and it was broken, so they swapped it for a boxed one, and seemed to forget about the discount lol)
£45 from selling old games consoles
£7.50 clubcard vouchers
£4.20 in free coffees
£50 free MOT
£5 bingoport amazon voucher
£10 valued opinion amazon vouchers

I had to sell my Cranberries tickets as could not get a babysitter and DH is on night shifts this week.

Got £80 cash for them.

Got paid expenses from work today, unexpected bonus! They give £5 allowance per day for lunch while on placement, which is what I am, and travel allowance. So received £44 :j

Pleasant end to a sad day - sooooooooooo wanted to see Cranberries.... again.

So am going to declare at £260.43 :j

Hi folks,

Well the month of march is over.

I am declaring on £109.28. I have set myself a target of £5 per day, so I was £45.72 short. Must try harder next month.

Well done to everybody who took part in the March challenge. I hope you were all successful in making some money, even if you did not manage to make your target.

I love this forum for the ideas and support from everyone.

Sold a book on amazon, my best sale so far.

£15.90 to add after all costs! :j

So declaring at £151.40.

A good month, considering lack of ebay action.
