Morning All,
feel a right fraud posting on this thread having bust on my grocery challenge (with 3 weeks to go!! :eek:), but moving swiftly on.....
Saved £3.33 using 12p off litre diesel yesterday.
Saved £12 on Tshirts & £3 off tousers at M&S
Got £100 BBQ for £32 (half price, then 15% off, then £10 Sh0p&Sc&n voucher) - that'll be why the weather forecast is 'orrible for the rest of the week, then
Batch cooked like mad yesterday - fish pie x 5 portions, spot the beef curry x 6 portions, 8 x pizza slices - all in the freezer
Got £10 meal deal at M&S - apparently, individually, items would have been £19!
Used £10 survey voucher for treats at Waitflower - only bought reduced or on offer things.
Think that's it for now. Enjoy the long weekend if you're off :T

* ordered DH new boots online using cashback CC (unable to get TCB
). Shopped around for cheapest price
* used TCB to reserve item at B&Q but thanks to staff being so lazy they sent me to get it off the floor myself, I don't think I will get my cashbackLuckily they gave me a "give us feedback" slip with the receipt - guess that website will get some "open and honest feedback" from me
* walked to Mr A to get groceries, saving petrol (and stretching my arms no end!) and got quite a few bits of yellow sticky vegDebt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -

Redeemed $10 from Superpoints.
£3 from P!nec0ne.#39 - Save £12k in 20250 -
Recently I’ve:-
1) Worked away from home saving approx £80 in living costs – loving that (Okay completely gloss over the fact I bought clothes for the trip)
2) My Nectar app automatically upgraded and I now seem to be able to nectar search on there as well as on my lap top. Double Points! Don’t know if anyone else has spotted this – I’ve not read this thread for over a week so apologies if there is duplication
3) YouGov, Nectar and some other surveys
4) Dinner at my mums tonight
5) Got to Tesco’s last night at around 8.30 to find loads of bank holiday F&V stock reduced to 0.01 or 0.02!!!! Only bought a few bits though as not in mood to cook and freezer is full any way.
6) Paid for my working expenses on my personal credit card to get Clubcard points – work are great because they reimburse really quickly so it’s never a problem.
7) Halifax Rewards jiggery pokery
8) Made an appointment at a college hairdresser rather than my usual high street hairdresser.........fingers crossed!0
