How Much Have You Saved Today?

northern_star

Hi all
Saved £25 by arguing (loudly) in the Lloyds TSB branch against the charges they had put on a cc I haven't used in ages - without telling me first! They agreed to refund charges and I have closed account (ner, ner....)!
however I have subsequently gone and spent at least a fiver of that on treats whilst still on my "little person beats the big guys" high. but reckon I'm 20 quid up! :beer:

Went to boots to use up a £10 pigsback voucher, bought shower gels,hand wash and make up wipes on bogof, toothpaste and cotton buds on 3 for 2 and some hair bobbles for dd. Total cost of goods before offers £!6.29.
Total with offers off £9.45. Used my free voucher and even got 55p change.

TOTAL SAVED/MADE £16.84 and enough toiletries to last couple of months.

I walked to work instead of getting the bus that saved me £1.50.
I found 10 pence in the street (so that has saved me spending 10p of my money in the future).
My ex brought my toiletries around that I had left at his place and thats about a tenners worth.
I took my lunch to work rather than having one there that saved me 70pence.
So all in all today so far...I have saved > £12.30

Not bad going really coz I am normally such a spend thrift.:p

Hmmmm - don't know if that one counts as it isn't a saving as such if you'd already spent £10 on them then got them back...? :think:

Well done Cheletastic! Great start to the month - I haven't saved much in comparison - I spent, in fact!

He paid for them in the first place...I call that saving.
