Did bulk food shop online or March. Grocery budget is £300 but thats including nappies and formula.. £180 approx spent but thats formula and nappies for a month plus stocking the storecupboard with tinned toms, veg etc..
Enquired about a milkman. £1.60 for 2l fresh milk delivered to the doorstep compared to 2x2l for £2 in the local supermarket which means using fuel then spending extras of either my doing or sweets/magazine for the kids or £1.63 in the local corner shop. We use about 2l a day so where as the actual unit cost will be more I think the savings on fuel and n-needed spending will be worth it..MF aim 10th December 2020 :j:eek:MFW 2012 no86 OP 0/20000 -

I saved fuel ( shock horror I went out! ) and drove to 2 hospital appointments - but went from one hospital to another and avoided coming back home in between.
Whilst I was out my microwave oven blew up - it's not the fuse , its tripping my electrics. I really hope I don't have to buy another one. It's my only cooker too. I have a gas hob but no actual cooker. I knew I shouldn't have gone out! See it pays to stay in! LiterallyI can't be bothered updating this anymore0 -

What a great day on onepoll. Im up to £26 so far and have only been doing it since the middle of Jan.
Quick question though. When I get to enough for a payout I beleive that Im supposed to pay tax on it. Will they do it for me or can I do it through my tax code or what ? Sorry if this is a thick question !0 -
They just pay you the full amount , you have to request what method of payment you want - tax isn't mentioned.I can't be bothered updating this anymore0
