HELP! Grocery Budget Shock!

Sharra

Just a thought - I'm with you on the new clarks shoes thing while they are little, but I'm sure I remember that clarks shoes come with 3 months growing room if you are getting them from a proper clarks shop. Keep the receipt and take them back if they are grown out of before then.

How about mystery shopping? There is loads of info on this site about it, and links to all the companies. It's generally about £10 a job, so you'd only need to do a couple a week to make a real difference.

Could you tell me where I find this link please?

Thanks

I think this is the main thread about mystery shopping. Other posters might come up with some more though.

I've done it and it's quite a good laugh, you have to be a bit of an actor!

We get "Wag" from Costco for the dogs £5.99+vat for 25kg..lasts for ages..well it does now we have put it into a tin...dog one was helping herself from the bag and getting a pit porky!
Car boots are starting up again now, and opportunities for lots of home grown, often organic veg at really good prices...

Oh, another thought...if you are in the countryside can you buy meat direct from the producer. We are in Wales and can by lamb from a local small holder for about a quarter of the supermarket price and we know where it is from.....end up having to collect it from the pub though :-) ..

if you are loking for evening job and as you say have tescos near why not apply to work in tescos,employees used to get 10% staff discount +reduced stock,will lower your grocery bill and help finances

My dog has a very sensitive tum and I feed him James Wellbeloved as it is additive free. he loves the taste of it (there are a variety of flavours) and I get him a kilo bag (£6.49 I think) every 6 or so weeks (he is a westie) and as it is additive free, he does not have skin problems which his breed is subceptible to.

It's worth having a look on the Friday Ad website for jobs, or if you have a place where you can pick up a free, local issue from that is also a very good idea.

Have you looked into AQA for evening work? It's internet research, so it's homebased.

Have a look on the DFW board, there's loads on there.

I just want to know how to get my dog a job! She just sits around all day, when she could be out earning!

Lillibet, I wish you all the best in your searches, hope you work it all out.
