  • 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? :confused:

    The free Asda magazine always has coupons in it
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
  • Ahhh - will have to look out for it - I guess next time I go I can grab one before I shop and sift through it... before shopping!

    I saved £2 shopping around for my travel adaptor (£4.99 in Argos, £2.99 in Boots). Though if i'd have gone to Argos i wouldn't have brought a bag of nuts in Boots, so make that £1.21 saved x
  • I just got the following from £0.99 store:

    - 100ml facial moisturiser for dry skin - £0.99 (should have been at least £3.00)
    - 12 toothbrushes (should have been at least £0.70 each = £8.40)
    - Coffee (should have been at least £2.00)

    SAVED: £10.43

    The £0.99 store is my new favourite thing!

    I've just saved myself 12.00. Noticed on credit card statement I'd been charged a late fee payment even though I'd paid 4 days early.Phoned them up and got charges refunded.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    Today I bought:

    - Tin moneybank for Mr EL (so he can start saving towards a video camera) - should have been at least £3 - got it for £0.99

    Could have got a nice pink piggy from pigsback for free after collecting points.

    I have two one called herbut and the other himbut :rotfl:

    The tetley fruit and herbal teas tubs make good savings tubs as well. As that was where the money was until I got himbut who arrived on wednesday even though he as a key taped to his bottom :rotfl:


    Yours
