I saved £25 by using 50p off petrol vouchers from MrT - bought Nescafe original and a few other everyday value stuff to make up the requisite 8 items with a total outlay of £30, used a few vouchers, got a PP voucher of £10. All in all, the coffee worked out free. I'm planning to do this again next Monday before the next filling.
Took packed lunch to work and left clothes outside for drying. Fortunately it didn't rain.
I haven't been doing any surveys this week as work was very hectic. But, have received my Le Creuset dishes from Jus Rol and Robinson squash for trial this week. So pies, flans and squash this weekend.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Today I have;
Reeemed £10 Amazon voucher from Valued Opinions
Washing on line in the sun
Bought half a sack of potatoes from farm shop for £2 last weekend - making fish and chips for tea, no takeaway for me
Off to Aldi later or tomorrow with yesterday's £5 off a £35 spend voucher in the Mirror. Anyone who missed it there's the same one in today's *spit* Daily Mail, slight downside is you have to buy the paper..#39 - Save £12k in 20250 -
Well my Aldi shop was ace - on my receipt I ended up saving £15.86 in total which included almost £10 on meat. They had 50% off the free range chickens so bought 2 at £2.50 each. Some of the Aberdeen angus mince was also 50% off so got 2 of those at £1.79 each too. (This was as they are near the use by date rather than a proper promotion.)#39 - Save £12k in 20250

Spent the first couple of hours of the road race listing 40 items on ebay :eek:, one sold already
(spent the rest of the road race totally confused, trying to work out what the 50 sec gap they kept talking about referred to, then managed to be less confused by the BBC as I managed to work out the guy who wins the bronze is the 1st over the line after the gold & silver, whereas they seemed to think that whole of the 1st chasing pack didn't count
).
MSE comps thread for the rest of the Olympics.
