A very MSE lunch hour!!

Options
Just had to share my lunch time bargains with you, as follows :

1. At Claire's, 3 hairbands, a set of hair clips and a necklace - original total price £26.50, paid £5, using a voucher my daughter got for Christmas

2. At Boots, No7 nail varnish, using one of the £5 off vouchers - cost £2

3. At BHS, 5 necklaces( should have cost £60, paid £5), a gorgeous tin containing 7 packets of different flavours of tea, BBE June 20312 ( should have cost £12, paid £3.60) and a Marmite toast stamp ( should have cost £5, paid £1) - total £9.60. Paid using a £10 voucher I got from a survey site, and was even given 40p change.

By my reckoning, £110.50 of goods, for which I paid £15 in vouchers, and £1.60 in cash :j

  • Not bad, but not really a 'Grabbit now' deal.

    Hehe thats exactly what I call my good lunch hours (a very merry mse lunch hour). Especially when I find sandwiches discounted :D I got a 'free' face mask last week (trading in old containers at lush), free Clinique mascara and some pretty giftbags reduced in Clintons, I was feeling quite smug that day!

    That one was from Valued Opinions - I had sent off for a M and S voucher, but got one back called Capital Bond, which can be used a number of different places
