All in one place?!

Found another penny at home - they're slowly coming out of hiding and into my tin!

40 pennies captured from my husbands side of the bed !!!

1p road kill and 250p not spent on shopping due to finding whoopsies!

And one I wish I could add but it 'warn't me mum' - DD got 350p's worth of mince marked down at her work to 50p. I've paid her and it goes to feed us tonight but I can't honestly claim credit!

Heck :mad: I've not captured any pennies for ages :mad:

I am slipping.

I did pay the wheelie bin cleaning manny out of my change pot if that counts and got some whoopsied bits in my last shop.......I suppose I am capturing pennies without really realising it

As for roadkill??????? Well, I think that you lot are constantly five steps in front of me :rotfl:

Captured a single penny in roadkill today but more importantly I've been saving those virtual pennies by buying a pasta sauce in Home Bargains for 99p that I usually pay £1.75 for in Sainsbugs:eek: so x 3 pots of sauce that's about £1.29 plus sugar at 20p less than Sainsburys x 2 bags and a tin of rice pud at 30p less means I've saved £1.99 on brands I would normally buy, by bothering to make the trip to Home Bargains - just shows how the pennies can add up when you keep an eye on the little monsters!!

Hi folks, another good on the "roadkill" finds, found 59 pence.

No pennies on the floor at Pilates last night.

But I got so many reduced items at Mr T's on Monday night I can't even count up the pennies I saved! I even bought for my friends and dropped them off on the way home - they loved them!! Well I couldn't leave behind huge bags of carrots for 6cent and bananas for 8cent plus much more! :j

I usually buy petrol at Mr S for the Nectar points, but thanks to petrolprices site I found the garage 1/2 a mile away is selling it 4p/litre cheaper! Filled up, 40 litres, saving £1.60p which is now safely captured in the whiskey bottle.

Also found 2p on the cash point I used last night. Strange, but I'm asking no questions. It's captured
