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:Free by FiftyDebt of the Moment -August NSD Challenge 14/150 -
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!!Every penny's a prisoner

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! :j0 -
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 captured0
