  • Thanks Kitschy, I will await the android version. Sounds like it could be very handy. Im not too bothered about getting it to shop for me....takes all the fun out of going to the supermarket.

    As for the roadkill topic, I haven't done it yet but wouldn't mind trying it, although it would mainly have to be deer. little critters don't stand up well to having a car over them.
    From a legal point, I don't think you can take the deer if it is you that knocked it down but I think it is fine if someone else has.
  • I am definitely going to watch but some of it looks a bridge too far in terms of money saving.

  • Can't wait for this tonight!

    The only thing that worries me, if that the more people that know of deals/glitches etc the less possible they will be?

    Watched the super scrimpers series last night and actually enjoyed it. Couldn't quite believe how much some of those couples spent on rubbish and they needed someone to tell them how they are overspending??!! Wow. Loved some of the older ladies tips, I wish I could sew.
  • I'll watch this later on, just hope a lot of the ideas are actually practical though and not having to go too far to save £. Sometimes spending too much time to save a few £ becomes less valuable than the time it took to do so!
  • Got this set to record tonight on my Freeview+ box. I've watched the Superscrimpers and Waste not Want Not, and loved them all. Should be good.

    Did I see JWen on Daybreak this morning? Would love to know which sites she uses to get her vouchers for shopping from. The results were really worth it.
    Sometimes you're the dog, but more often you're the tree!:D

    The lady with the vouchers was amazing! Me and OH laughed because the wedding was exactly like ours - scrounged village hall, DIY catering, supermarket flowers and borrowed dress. We spent about the same but we did have wine! We must be extreme penny pinchers :j.
