  • :hello: Hi it's me, a total noob who has been sat quietly in a corner, reading this and that, trying to get my little head around stuff :D lol but thought I should say hi now as it would be rude not to :D

    Thought it is about time I started saving a little money and being a little more savvy about what I buy, where, and when.

    It's been a busy weekend, what with digging over the veggie plot and clearing out the greenhouse to get ready for this season (only moved in 2nd quarter of last year) hopefully will get a better harvest this year :) though still got plenty of green beans and chilli's left ;)

    Did our first planned couponing shop too, we actually remembered to take the coupons with us (good start hahaha) and it took us twice as long as we normally do shopping. We had to compare offers and our usual brands to see if the savings were worth it, and well, we saved just over £20 on a £65 shop :T

    We have also had a crack at a womble or 2. It felt really strange grabbing the receipts at first, looking around to see who's looking etc ... I lost count of the number of times I "did my shoe laces up" :rotfl: no luck as yet, but still waiting for some results to come in :cool:

    Have fun and stay lucky :)
    Totals for 2013:
    Wombled: £0.87
    Roadkill: £1.16
    By the time I can make ends meet .... someone has moved the ends

  • Evening everyone. Not had chance to catch up today so not sure what I've missed.

    Huge big snuggly hugs to anyone who needs one....or just wants one to make them feel better! :)

    Gonna curl up in bed with the lappy and a film I think. 'Deja Vu' again..........(denzel washington)

    I think there's a code inside the box that you have to enter into the website & then print off the moc. I havent brought any so I haven't seen the bc. If no one has one I'll buy a box in the morning to see x
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    These brought me out in a rash, but were good for getting scuff marks of the skirting boards.
