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 x0

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!MFW #185
