*~~Make £10 a day challenge JANUARY 2013~~*

I bought myself a magnifying mirror in boots today reduced to £15.99. I paid with my advantage card points so actually didn't spend any money. Can I count this as a £15.99 saving towards my total or am I pushing the boundaries here as you may say I could only have saved £15.99 by not buying it :rotfl:

Can I please join. I am aiming for £5 a week as this is my first time at trying this. I have already saved money in the sales for birthdays this year and buying my Christmas cards and paper for next year, saved more than £30 on full priced items.

After my grocery shopping tonight I saved around £2.35 with getting things on offer, also that grouped with a cashback app I have on my phone rounds it to £5 roughly as some of the products I will now get for free!

well...... only if you take £15.99 from your bank and pay off a credit card bill or pay a debt... then you should count it....:p;)

oh I have been forgetting to check mine the last couple of days. I normally check which shop I am in and what is on offer, then buy it.

I know it's a bit late but can I join too please? I need to get the finances sorted this year. I'll try for £5/day, though (cos I'm a chicken!!) :rotfl:

Well done on the ebay item.
I was only being cheeky and haven't added it to my total. Always feels good to buy something without actually having to pay any cash for it tho. The points I accumulated buying Christmas presents (bonus points events etc). Treated myself for a pretty rubbish time at work - not sure now a mirror that magnifies my flaws was exactly a treat:rotfl:No I love it really!

I have that mirror....:rotfl: bought it years ago on a glitch. I only use the normal side, my DS and DH love using the magnifying side. DS plays games me with me saying look mummy... look how big your face is...etc.

If you're still taking names, then I'll go for £10 per day and if you're not, then I'll still do it anyway and try and report back here.

Completed a survey last night and was finally able to cash £10 as an Amazon e-voucher. I've been meaning to do this for nearly a year now and kept putting it off. I wondered if the points were still in my account and they were, so after 25 mins last night, I had £10! Now I need to get going with listing stuff on ebay, which I've also been putting off:(
