  • Popping to town soon to go get some toilet roll from Home Bargains! 18 rolls for £3.99 the Nicky ones.
    Also i managed to score £5.59 off my £9 shop yesterday. Went Tesco to get the Modern milk before it ends and picked up 6 more. My fridge has 12 in it right now, good job it's good until January then got £1 off Tampax and a free hovis homebake. :D Bargain. Just the paper and some French stick that i paid full price for!.
    Anyone use Dooyoo here? I'm on 14,000 points but wanted to get to 20,000 before The 10th so i can get an Amazon voucher for the rest of my OH's present. Managed to get all of my DD's presents for free with the tesco double up. Going to try going to whole way next year for christmas and make the whole thing free!!! x

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    Same here. I am always sending eldest child - email and sometimes texts as well, helpful hints to reduce her food budget and links for print off coupons etc and also I let her know if there is going to be any useful coupons in newspapers. Mostly it falls on deaf ears.

    This weekend I knew about the freebies in the Telegraph including the free silk tie in the Sunday Telegraph. I thought that she might have one of the stores you can collect them from in her city. But as she normally ignores my pearls of wisdom I didnt bother forwarning her about the free silk tie promotion.

    So I get an annoyed phone call yesterday afternoon from her. She had been all over the city and nobody had any Sunday Telegraphs left and the free silk tie store was bursting at the seams with people collecting their ties. She was very cross with me for not warning her beforehand about this promotion.

    I cant win :mad:

    I totally agree with you both, it's as if couponing is something shameful. One of my friends really hurt me when she called me something after I asked for her cc points (she doesn't have a cc) :( Like Doc says, I'm not tight but I like my money to stay in my bank account, or at least spend it on something fun :D
