  • today i shopped around for my house insurance and pretty much halved my monthly payment :eek: also did it through topcashback :j
    I haven't spent anything since saturday but tomorrow I need to pay my daughters snack money at school.

    Earlier this month i switched home phone and broadband provider saving me £5 a month although i've had to track a missing cashback claim on that so fingers crossed i get it.
    Debt free, aim to be MF by 50 (Sept 2026)
    No more buying books...Read 33/40 Bought too many!
    EVERY PENNY'S A PRISONER :D

    Hi again,

    Redeemed £10.00 Cap. Bands voucher from Ipsos.
    Claimed a £10.00 Sainsbury Voucher from VO.

    On the down side, the TV appears to be on its last legs and will probably need a new one soon. Mr Usa1 has some large screened tacky and expensive one in mind he wants to replace it with..... sigh...

    Today I've:
    * used TCB to get discount and cashback on Mothers' Day flowers order
    * booked a cheap eye test (£5) using a voucher
    * been digging at the allotment, getting fit and having fun for next to no cost :)

    * also recently picked up some coldsore cream at home bargains - 89p instead of nearly £5 at boots so have stocked up on a couple of tubes :money:
