    Eagerlearner you're doing great at this, all the savings are really adding up!

    I've had another footwear bargain (don't think I'm one of these girls who goes mad about shoes though cos I only own about 5 pairs total!) - my old pair of trainers had holes in them and gave me wet feet every time it rained, the cheapest pair I liked cost £12 in a sale but weren't quite the right size. So I put it off, and last Saturday doing food shop in Lidl I saw a pair for £5, fit perfectly! Just as nice as the other pair I'd seen too. So I saved £7.

    I have to buy a professional journal each week (would read in the library except I need to cut lots of articles out for my file)and found out today that I can subscribe at a student rate saving over 50%, so saving about 70p a week!

    I have an all day babysitting job next Saturday that should earn me £50, not exactly saving I know but still related!

    All I can think of for now, please everyone else keep posting their savings, even the little ones, as it inspires me!

  • On the weekend I saved around £6 on the cost of books I wanted by getting them in a market!

    How is everyone else doing?

    My freebie wallet arrived today, so quite pleased with that - old one was falling to bits!

    Probably not going to spend much the next few days - just bus fare to get to my course tomorrow, and hopefully thats it.

    Saubryn - how much would the wallet have been? Then we can add that to your savings...

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    I've just come back from Sainsbury's where the total of my shopping should have been £11.99. :eek: However, with BOGOFs and 33% off and other reduced prices, the total on the till said £7.64...:T

    Then I handed over a £4 coupon from Heinz (rang them with a complaint last week, and got a voucher with a very nice letter in return - which was a nice surprise, because I wasn't expecting it!) - so the total I had to hand over in cash was just £3.64! :j :D :j

    I had 3 prescriptions today. But I have a pre-pay certificate so I saved myself 3 x £6.65.

    How much is that? Someone do the sums for me! I'm poorly..

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
