Just got a groupon deal, so no NSD for me today! On 2/10 there is still time though!

The deal was sensible, and I did think about it - £19 for a hair cut, conditioning treatment and finish, valid until the end of march and I need a haircut mid-february (it will have been 3 months, any longer and I really do start to look like a spaniel :rotfl:). AND have budgeted £10 per month for haircuts, and have them every 3 months, therefore I have saved £11 from the budget! (Lets not think about the fact I want highlights for winter shall we? :rotfl:)

Hi Lotti - I'm curious to know what a groupon deal is!


As predicted, not a NSD as I went to Tesc0 for a little shop. Well and truly stocked up, despite not spending too much today. OH feeling a bit carp today so we will be staying in for the rest of the day.:) No more spends!

Agree with somethingsgottogive, bella. Most people on here, if posting something they've sold, don't count the postage as a spend, especially if the buyer is paying postage. So I think you can probably count it as an NSD (as long as you don't buy anythign else, of course;)).

Hope that helps

I hadnt even thought about the fact that the buyer is paying the postage anyway! Thanks guys!

NSD # 3 for me today.

Tomorrow will be a spend day as I have to post some mail, but am going to try and work out what I'll need over the next 4 or 5 days foodwise and get that sorted tomorrow as well:)

Was trying to be good today but then had to go and get a NotW to get the Asda & make up kit coupons - hopefully a £ well spent!

Groupon is a site which you can sign up to, they do offers and vouchers for things in your city (there are a selection of cities, I do Newcastle as it's my nearest). They send regular emails with deals - massively reduced haircuts, days out, beauty treatments, meals out etc, and you buy the voucher from them and off you go! My last one was £14 for a hair cut, condition and finish that should have cost £47, and this one is £19 for the same process (different salon) that should apparently cost £64. Still worth it even if the saving is a bit inflated (as I suspect it probably is...) as just a plain cut and blow dry is usually about £25-£30 I find!

I can send you a link if you're interested?
