**~April Make £10 a Day Challenge - All Welcome ~**

Worked out total profit from last weeks Ebay sales, and got an extra £97.42 to add to the pot.
I've been thinking about the best way to work out how much to include for savings from all the Tesco Double the Difference things I've been getting. I don't want to add the value of the stuff I've got, as it's not stuff I would have bought anyway. For example I would never have spent about £15 on 2 bits of lamb, Finest Roast Potatoes and fancy wine for 1 dinner, so wouldn't be the true value of what I've saved.
However, I would have had to buy something else for dinner so there was still some savings.
We haven't done a food shop for about 4 weeks, and we usually spend about £25 a week on food shopping. But we did spend about £40 altogether on various things when we started doing DTD, so I'm going to add a saving of £60 for grocery shopping.
Also, I've got some sweets to take in to work for my last week there before I'm at a different location, that I got free from DTD so that saved £3.99 from what I had planned to buy.
Had needed to get fabric softener as well, so got some Comfort from DTD, saving about £3 as that's what I would have spent on a big bottle of own brand one.
So an extra £164.41, making a total so far of £375.51 if my maths is correct!! :j:j
I'm therefore going to up my target to £15 a day, so making my target £450.

MonkeyNut or anyone else who can answer please....
It seems ive missed something here, im guessing DTD is double the difference, but how, what is the offer?
I always shop at MR T, so it seems i could also be making some great savings.....More info please for me and those who missed it

WTG ...some great savings!!:T

I have used £10 clubcard voucher for petrol, so im adding that.

OH kindly borrowed me £50, i was having a bit of a cash flow situation with funds coming from paypal and funds needed for postage.

Anyway the other night, after id just got changed into my PJs he decides he wants to get a few beers from the shop, he cant drive, so made me an offer i simply couldn't refuse. I can keep the £50 if i'll drive him to the shop, needless to say i was up and in the car pronto!!

Ive got a few ebay listing ending over the next few days, and i need to get cracking with listing my 99p listings, still have 94 to use up by 5th of may.

Got a bit of a win at bingo last night , I share and decided to deduct what I spent so adding another £20 today. My plan is to put this in my savings pot so its not just going to disappear on rubbish !

there is a great big thread about it! People are reporting not as much people are doing it, so maybe the promotion isn't as wide shrugs shoulders.

Get a cup of tea, and sit down for a long read! it is worth it though!

I've got a couple of bits to add, really slow month but ive got lots of surveys building up so hopefully the next couple of months will be better. I claimed back part of my pre-paid prescription card from my health insurance so thats £14.80 and mum gave me £20 the other day to buy some bits for the house that I needed. Total so far is £39.80.

Don't know whether to add savings to this challenge, I haven't in the past but I'm finding that since living on my own I have to aim to make as many savings as possible and this might spur me on! I've recently found some where that I can park for free rather than paying £5 a day so I think I might add that, can't decide!!!

A princely £3.87 from selling a couple of baby clothes on eBay. I forgot the postage had gone up so I charged my normal p&p but it barely covered the postage. The woman at the PO was v strict about them being packets not large letters too. Oh well, it's still £3.87 more than I had and two more items out of the house.

Well done with all your successes everyone.

EDIT: Forgot to say I also received a pack of 50 nappies as part of a survey I'm doing so I'll count that as £7 as I usually buy them on offer.

£5.90 from eBay sales today. I was stung on postage too, it seemed more than I expected!! Anyway it all helps towards my total.

Not doing too well at the mo which is a pain. I did get a windfall yesterday because I was refunded £15 for an event I am going to tonight, I received an email suggesting that I hadn't paid so I paid £10 (the event cost £10) but then it was noted that I paid £15 last month before the price was amended so I had the £15 back:j

I havent bought food for ages but do need to do a shop but can't see the point as I am going away on Friday for a few days (a cheapy break that cost me £45) and then when I get back I am off camping which is another cheapish break at a fiver a night camping.
