I'm afraid I don't have a lovely pet picture to add but I would like to add my sincere thanks to everyone who contributes to this thread.

I'm a single mum, no job, blah blah blah and tread a very precarious financial path but with the help of you all I am facing this new year a little better off than the last.

The occasional stocking up on things such as Pantene shampoo at 24p a bottle means I can stretch my shopping budget a lot further and apart from buying glitches, I don't recall the last time I bought cleaning products or toiletries - certainly not at anything like full price anyway.

To finish off a bottle of clothes washing detergent and 're-stock' from the garage is great and it will be a long time until I have to buy anything other than bread, milk and vegetables in Mr T as my freezer is now well stocked too.

Anyway, thank you all for your contributions to this thread - very much appreciated.

May 2012 see us all being overcharged outrageously on numerous occasions

Its posts like this that make me like being here :j

*not that i dont like being on here, but hopefully y'all get my drift :-)

Why is it that although my freezer, cupboards and pantry are well stocked, I am finding myself puling on boots and grabbing car keys now that my eye has caught the time??

Can't.... Resist.....

See yers...

Was just wondering if anyone found good whoopsies yesterday? I think I saw a few posts saying things were not reduced much.

I hope Mr T hasn't been reading, and made a New Years resolution not to reduce things by more than 30% :eek:

Thanks Minnie the Minx.

You might find reading the frugal challenge thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3612005 interesting too, lots of ways to make your money stretch further!

I did it for the first time this year, and have come in under budget , and am doing it again this year, with an even lower budget for the whole year. Just hope we continue to get good whoopsies, glitches, wombled CC points, JTD's from wombles and DTD's!

afternoon Elite!

head hurts... 2 bottles of wine and 2/3 bottle of bubbly didn't do any good... who'd think...? :eek:

bf cooked a nice breakfast AND did the washing up! I trained him soo well... :T he even said he'll do the hoovering later! :eek: (all right! that's because I threw a tantrum when he sat down to play a stupid computer game instead of giving me a cuddle and watching a movie together... )

yet another day I can't be bothered with Tesco! :eek::eek::eek:
I think I'm losing my mojo slowly... but I'm sure it will be back when we get a nice glitch
Will have to go tomorrow anyway as I need some food...
