I've been thinking about how best to afford a new ipod without totally b*ggering up the Frugal Challenge in week one

The best price I can find a new Classic for is £190 (from a retailer I have heard of which is Tesco) I will get Tesco points worth £3.93 (Nearly £12 in deals) + 4 points per £1 spent if I pay using my Tesco credit card.

I don't pay council tax for the next two months, so I know I have the funds to cover it, but the budget doesn't have quite that much wiggle-room. Assuming no rise in council tax, I have an £80 surplus in my council tax budget. The rest is going to have to come from savings elsewhere or making money. With that in mind, I know it's Ebay free listing this weekend, so know what I'll be doing tomorrow :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Additions catalogue

£199

8% back on Quidco (£15.92) - I can confirm they track and pay too

You can pay in three installments before you have to pay interest

And if you are a new customer sometimes they give a discount, it used to be £30 off a £60 spend, but I can't seem to find a code for that,

I am sure if you cosmically order it and add it to your list of competition wants, being so lovely the Gods are bound to grant you an i-Pod

I really hope so!! I'm going to be looking for one from somewhere as I don't want to use my own money to buy an ipod due to having forgotten to allocate any of this year's budget to my £150 cinema pass

I'll use the Nano until it breaks and worry about a new one then I think. It means my budget won't be screwed in the first month of the year as I know that will make me go "sod it" and spend like a fiend

Hey FF
I drowned my iPod Classic just before Christmas and need to save/earn for a new one too along with the e-book reader I am now wanting!! Although I have a contingency plan for the e-reader that includes birthday and Christmas 2011!
Cinema pass works out about £162 now for the year :eek: Still well worth the money though!
