    There's no minimum withdrawal from Paypal now, any amount is free.:)

    Great news! I might withdraw each time I hit £20 so it's like an achievement then I can chuck it at the c card :D

    In my own little way, I am pleased that I managed to help you save money with tips on Bogofs in Tesco.

    Try and find their reduced shelf too as they may have something tasty that you can pick up.

    I'm pleased you did, I just got back with BOGOF dolmio sauce, 2 for £5 on chicken breasts (4 breasts in total) it's the ones that come with hunters sauce mmm and an 18 pack of walkers crisps which were 1/2 price - I usually spend 30p on a packet most days at work so that'll save :)

    Using my vouchers I only spent a few quid and it was already a NSD day anyway. I've put the chicken in the freezer so now I have a bit more choice for meals and can just pick up a carrot and courgette to roast when I fancy the chicken :D

    Evening all,

    Quite pleased with my Tesco shop as per above and the next 2 and hopefully 3 days should be NSD's.

    As one last treat before my exams my friend is taking me to Thorpe Park next weekend, so that's my next aim to save my daily tenners for! I'm on the scout now for discount vouchers on the entry for us and during the day I should only need money for a bit of food and drink - Hello Golden Arches! haha such a kid!

    I don't think I'll be spending much at all on my visit home this weekend so I'm hoping I'll have plenty to carry over into next week.

    I'm starting to enjoy seeing all of this as a challenge, each time I go to a shop I see it as a challenge to get only what I need and under budget and it's such a good feeling that I have managed it for a whole week now, in the past I used to waste so much in those places! It's all thanks to you bunch :beer:
