Right! Have i got this right. If you just cut out vouchers out of mags etc... you can just scan them through even if you haven't bought that item? If that is right i am going to start cutting haha. Love this forum, thanks all for the inspiration.

I don't think there's anywhere left that you can do that at, used to be able to I remember. It's not really fair though.

You actually have to buy the product to get a discount off of it.

Cheers, thought it was too good to be true.
Will cut out though for what i will buy. This is something i never do, but as the old slogan says, every little helps.

Despite not actually needing anything, I have gone way over budget already! This is much harder than I thought. I have included things like necessary DIY spends (to keep the shower from leaking through the kitchen ceiling!) though... maybe I should have excluded those. I did also pick up some things that could have waited. I will see how I can do next month.

Hiya
Went to mr t's with my £9 off a £60 till spit. Got myself a huge trolley to put all my stock up bits in and it was so depressing to see how little it got me. Admittedly I had to get Dh razor blades which cost a lot but by the time I added loo rolls, dishwasher tabs, cheese, ham and not really too much more my £60 had been spent. Value foil is now 80p a roll. I'm sure it used to be about 40p to 50p. Ho hum. I was hoping for reduced items as I went late but no luck.

Meals

Sun - beef and ale pie with mash, purple carrots and broccolli
Mon - smoked haddock oven baked in tom sauce with yesterdays veg
Tues - lasagne and salad
Wed - lasagne and salad
Thurs - burgers, hm wedges and salad
Fri - steak, dauphinoise potatoes and veg
Sat - out at friends

Will add receipts later as have left upstairs and Ds is sleeping. X x
