    Update:

    6th August - £4 into PayPal from the shy P*nec*ne Surverys, friend found 1p in street and gave it to us for luck, and I found 20p on the ground in a car park too

    8th August - we popped to Mr S to get our vast supply of M*ller Light yoghurts as the offer of 4 for £1 ends Tuesday and fancied getting some Skinny Cow Triple Choc Ice Cream Sticks but Mr S did not have any. So, as we had to pass Mr T on the way home, we looked in there for some. Now I can't go into any supermarket without checking their whoopsies and luckily the girl came up, just as we were looking, to second reduce them - to cut a long story short, I paid £36.13 for shopping that should have cost £123.34 making a saving of £87.21!!!! Adding that to the £28.25 I saved in Mr S, mainly on the yoghurts, it made a saving of £113.37 :money:

    When we got home I had to start defrosting my big freezer and then rearranging everything to get it all in, and rearrange the freezer part of fridge-freezer too to fit in the rest. So I have now got salmon steaks, tuna steaks, other fish, chicken breasts, turkey breast steaks, minced beef, prawns, salmon quiches, together with plenty of cooked meats, loads of wholemeal bread, and lots of cakes (Sshhhhh!!!!) as well as my yoghurt and Skinny cow lollies, which by the way were on special offer at Mr T for £1 per box of 3 instead of £1.78, and I should not need to shop for anything other than fresh fruit and veg for quite some time and everything I bought were items we will definitely use too!!!!! :money:

    So, new total is £137.31 :j :j :j :j That's better :beer:

  • Update...

    ..saved £3.61 on weekly shop, saved £30 on special offer on paint, saved another £6.50 on some childrens clothes (on sale), saved a further £8 on paper needed for studying and received a refund from energy company for £45.84 :beer:
    Have to post off my CD's that I have sold through Music Magpie and found another load of old ones in a box that I reckon I can sell...and some old DVD's that the kids don't watch anymore as they are 'too baby-ish'. So that should bump up the total a little...

    Second chance offer sold on ebay so off to visit the post office shortly with two items (of the ten I listed while I was on holiday, meh).

    Hi Everyone

    Can't believe 3 Dog's savings - fantastic. Makes you think though.

    I've also added a bit more so changed my signature. Checked my account and Quidco just paid me £28.15 and the nice guys at the Halifax gave me a fiver. I'll give the MM a go - never tried it before.

    Who was it who spent 30p in the Paddington loos. Sorry I can't remember as I've been catching up. Quick tip - go to any of the upper tier bars - pubs or coffee shops and you can just walk in and use the loos free.

    Every little helps
