    I got a free Colgate mini toothpaste in the post - probably worth about 25p but it all helps :D

    Great thread :)

    This weekend we've;
    Used grey water from bath to hand wash both cars, rinsing with water from water butts.
    made our own bread
    cooked enough Nasi Goreng for 2 meals
    Made the boys have a use-up day with all the food in the kitchen they turned their noses up at and is slowly going out of date - ha!
    Testing some Dishwasher tablets - pack of 20 for free (usually £7.50!)
    I'm also testing a facial soap which should wash me for free for a month :D
    Bought a pepper plant for 69p which has 3 buds on already, so at 80p per pepper that should be saving us, just need to remember to water it...
    Huddled in front of computer with extra layers instead of boosting the heating. I am not putting the heating on, it is June.

    NSD today!

  • Like your thinking lovethymini !!

    What is Nasi Goreng though?

    This morning I have saved £5.00 at Marks and spencers food hall with a voucher out of yesterdays paper. (Dont very often shop here!!)

    Got free parking as I spent £5 on stuff that I needed in shop to get car park money back.

    Done some swagbuckling.

    Done superpoints.

    Done a nectar survey.

    Spent £50 at a good butchers which stocks us up for meat for the month. Divided all into meal portion sizes and stuck in freezer.

    Again may seem expensive but I refuse to cut my quality of meat and we can sometimes spend more than that on a meal out for just the two of us. Well thats the way I justify it anyway :D
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60
