I didn't have to pay for parking today in town as someone left a ticket on the machine with 6 hrs let to run, so I saved £2
More luck that DFW but it all counts!!
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -

Today I saved £5 as I cut my fortnightly phone top up in half and I walked to work which saved me £1.50 and I had a home prepared lunch which saved a tiddly but important 70pence.
So today my total savings are £7.20 Yipeeeee :T0 -

I wanted to buy some comfy flat leather shoes as I will be ion my feet a lot of the time with my new job. I had looked in a couple of shoe shops but not seen the right style. Today I was having a wonder in a couple of charity shops and found the perfect pair, Italian leather, great fit and style, for just £3!! I am so pleased!
Reckon I would have paid £40 for a similar pair in Clarks or somewhere, these look nearly new so I will say I've saved £37.

I saved £43 this evening. I had my first mystery dining assignment - a meal in a Mexican restaurant for two adults and one child. I have had to pay for the meal myself but the cost will be re-imbursed in two weeks time.
I haven't had a meal out for ages, due to my £25,000 debts and my 42 year DMP.0 -

That's a great deal - sounds like for £3 you got the bargain of the century! Plus they will last ages and be really comfortable... :beer:MFW #185

What coupons do you get? I would like to shop at ASDA and a friend has offered to drive me there sometime - where can I get vouchers though?
