The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

Good work Dinah! I think I might have to have a look into it!

Dinah93

Just don't let Tete look into it - all the good offers end as soon as she starts! Kiss of death for promotions!

Poor Tete! I saw that Tesco promo a week or so ago but we don't have a decent Tescos around here to make use of it. Stickler of being in a village where the nearest supermarket is 15+ minutes away. Does seem like an amazing deal though.

That's really sweet of NIM to take you away for a little break! Sounds very plush too, even more next to my OH's idea of a romantic getaway 'Fancy a B&B in Skeggy?' Though, me and OH would no doubt be way out of place anywhere half schmancy!

Been flicking around on etsy today and I've become worried for American money savers. Imagine having enough coupons to fill this during your weekly shop:eek: Break your back much! Have decided I really want this though.

Dinah93

Etsy is blocked at my work, I'll have to have a look this evening.

I'm the first to admit I'm a champagne girl on a grape juice budget! I'm glad we went for such a nice hotel in Turkey - weather forecast says we're due pretty much a week of rain.

Birdie85

Awww poor Tete indeed... but just in case that's the case... please stay away from the offer!

That coupon bag is mental Cinny! I don't think even that would make me remember to use coupons when I go shopping, I have a purse full of now expired coupons because I keep forgetting to use them! I like the little mobile holder/pursey thing though, very cute!

We're going here for my birthday next month (hopefully! I need to ring up and get it booked), not exactly a fancy schmancy hotel but it's a fabulous little guesthouse with a killer breakfast... and we'll get mate's rates and some good company for dinner as OH's Aunty owns it!

Oh I know, I'm very unlucky! Don't worry though I'm not buying enough groceries at the mo to warrant the faffing so you're safe for now. If everyone's doing as well as you out of it though I'm sure it'll be pulled soon enough (surely?)

Cinny that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen! Can you imagine the people in the queue behind you if you suddenly produced 3000 coupons at the till!

Dinah, it's still a week away (?) I wouldn't trust the foreecast this far in advance. If it said sunny I would obviously!

Cinny91

I know, it's mental!! Thinking about it though, I remember watching one Wife Swap USA where this one family would not buy a thing unless they had a coupon for it! And they went into their basement and it was a like a little Supermarket with all the carp they had down there. But I do want that purse I'm always losing things in my bag. OH told me off when we went shopping on Thursday because everytime I needed to get it out my bag I went into a little panic not being able to get it first grab

That hotel is lovely Birdie! Love the furniture too, I've bookmarked it just if we decide to have a little break that way on.

Hoping the weather man is wrong for you Dinah. He tends to be! We were meant to have full on rain all day today but we had about 3 drops, and the forecast changes all the time anywho.

Birdie85

Does your hotel have a spa Dinah? If it rains just keep going for Turkish Baths! When we were away it rained for about 5 days in the mornings but we just went in the pool since we were going to get wet anyway and the rain was warm! It just made us appreciate the sunshine on those days!

That crazy coupon bag doesn't even seem to have a section to keep your purse, phone, keys etc so you'll have to take a handbag as well as that... not very sensible is it?! I also like that you can have the 'great stylish look that you deserve'! For some reason I have a feeling that people who go shopping with 3000 coupons aren't really going to pay $35 for a bag to carry them in! You've got to love Etsy for originality though! Have you seen Regretsy.com? Hilarious!

Even if it rains in hot places like that it is usually fine again in no time. Hopefully the weather will change its mind!

Cinny - i saw that wife swap, they had loads of bottles of cough syrup and stuff and no-one was even ill hehe.

My Mum is coming up today till tomorrow so we are going for lunch with my sister today which will be nice.

Hi guys, everyone OK this morning? I’m feeling pretty ropey – I swear exercise doesn’t agree with me – dodgy knee, toenail falling off, sore armpits from my new deodorant and now a painful lump on the side of my toe that I really, really hope isn’t the start of a bunion! :eek:

Cinny I feel a bit like that family – I hardly buy anything without checking for cashback, student discount, free delivery etc etc! This site has turned me into a monster. I’m off for an eye test today so got my voucher for that Hope I don’t need new glasses as could do with not spending the money, but at the same time I quite fancy a new style ... gah! I guess I’ll be happy either way.

I’ve seen Regretsy Birdie, it’s one of the things that puts me off opening a shop – what if I get featured there?!

Wendz, you sound a right lady of leisure at the minute – best make the most of it while you can though!
