    £16.05 on a v neck t-shirt and a pair of pineapple trousers

    20% and my staff 25% because of the bank holiday so couldn't really argue with that as needed both items

  • A daft £4.16 today on two newspapers, some nice bread and a reduced BGTY Sainsbury's microwave meal which is ideal as a lazy Sunday roast!!

    Tomorrow I wouldn't mind treating myself to one of those short sleeved jumers with the white tshirt underneat, not sure where's the cheapest place to go though, House of Fraser will be fortunes. :(

    Idea's anyone? Anywhere with good sales on at the moment??
    £2 Coin Savings = £0.23:confused:

    Spent £15.56 on 6 pairs of reebok socks for my sons and a t shirt for one of them, at Newitts online, and they have free delivery for the bank holiday.

    Then I went to Tesco and spent £76.66 on the week's shopping, but at least two of the meals will make double quantities so half can be frozen for future meals. Also in that is a large joint of beef, which I've roasted and using my electric slicer, I've managed to get enough for our roast today, and the same amount to freeze for a future roast dinner, AND some sandwiches, so I'm quite pleased with that.

    No spend day for me- yayyy! Even better- I spotted some juicy looking blackberries on my walk and had a plastic bag (freebie one from Tesco's vegetable section, thanks to DFWs) handy in my bag so I now have a bag full of lovely blackberries for breakfast tomorrow.

    Well, I am impressed by how many non spenders we've had today! Well done everyone - feels good doesn't it? :D Even those of you that spent, seem to have kept it really low, well done everyone :T

    I am happy to report I spent nothing in the end but did stick my nose right into some shop windows :rotfl:
