    Done some suveys and about to make myself scan my shopping in.

    Got a few little bits for gifting when I walked past some CSs today - stashing is almost impossible to stop, isn't it? :o

  • We had to switch to an interest only mortgage last year when DH was made redundant but I have been so inspired by this thread that I have gone on line and paid an additional £30 off my mortgage :j

    Not a lot, I know but do feel very good having done it :T

    Over the last few days I have;

    Used the Amex/foursquare promotion in GAP and got £50 worth of work/summer clothes for £25.

    Got to grips with snap and save on Topcashback and got 50p payable instantly for scanning receipt for a snickers 4 pack that was a quid in the local co-op.

    This snap and save has a £2 cashback when you spend £10 on fuel offer this week so will also do that in the week. There seems to be so many offers on now with these sort of check in/receipt scanning type of thing, its hard to keep up! :D

    Above snickers were to sneak into the cinema last night for nibbles to avoid Odeon rip off prices.

    Went to a home made burger place with a gourmet society card and got a 2 for 1 offer. There was a small piece of bone in the butterfly chicken which my partner almost broke his tooth on! They refunded our drinks when we told them, lucky it wasnt the dental bill!!

    Washed car myself.

    Only bought milk this weekend as have enough food including big portion of soup made from veg that needed using.

    2000 point survey on CP means in almost at my 3rd £10 voucher :)

    Stayed home all day (had a PJ day :o) so an NSD for me but have told DH he can buy something online. Did use some amazon survey credit tho, so some moneysaving in there.

    Done my CP checkout and monthly survey - through the £30 in vouchers now, what a great site :T

    I have had a go at snap and scan on tcb today but nothing has shown up yet.

    Ate lunch at work - quite a nice surprise to get a free lunch :)

    Check for referral links on MSE. Or go to the volunteer for panels site and register your interest.

    Today I got pizza at herr A instead of ordering takeaway and scanned it in for my points.
