  • Hi Guys, on realising I had a tenner left to last me to next monday I decided to print some vouchers and go wombling!!

    Well, I bought a reduced loaf of bread for 50p and 2 packs of reduced turkey to go with my sharwoods curry sauce! The rest was all vouchers, 2 curry sauces, potato wedges, southern fries, toothpaste, kitchen roll and a finish quantumatic thingy!

    Total before deductions was £20.27 - after vouchers it was £9.07 and I've got a £1.17 PGvoucher from a reciept i found and another 6 reciepts to check in the morning!!

    Looks like we'll eat for another few days yet!!

  • Wow think we need to change your name to ' The coupon queen':rotfl:.
  • not so sure about that - you know what I'm like - I'll last a few weeks and then the novelty will wear off - hopefully not though!!

  • Hi guys,

    Did my actual proper shopping today because I finally have some money!

    Went to T, A and S and total spend should have been £60.22 - it was £34.62!!! Yay for me!!!

    I have a good stock of Bold 2 in 1 now though and quite a few kitchen rolls and dishwasher tablets!! lol

    P.S. My dad got thrown out of ASDA today by a security guard for getting reciepts out of the bin!!

  • well done on the bargain shop, poor dad hope he wasn't too embarressed.
  • My dad is shameless!!

    He's proud of it and has told everybody!!

    His money saving puts me to shame, he's a skip diving expert and he even lives in the cellar of his house so he can make money renting out his bedroom!! lol

  • Been quite a good few days, spent £20 in Sainsbobs yesterday so I could use my £2 off £20 voucher but it had expired!!

    Doesn't matter too much because i filled up my trolley with tins of beans and spagghetti and mash, pasta etc - just cheap, staple essential stuff.

    Hope everyones ok.
