Every Little Inspirational Thought Evokes (Savings)

Morning everyone

Follow up article on the "Coupon Kid" - lovely to see a bit more about his side of the story and about him and his mum, as I think he got some bad back-lash after the earlier article.

Couple of quotes caught my eye

"He is horrified at how other people shop. ‘The other day a woman in front of me was spending £150 and I thought: “How is that even possible? ......"

"Yet he’s the first to concede that it isn’t just about saving money. ‘I’m pretty sure I’d do it even if I was rich. It’s a hobby, a way of life, an obsession. It’s about beating the system and feeling you have won."

Think most of us could see a little bit of ourselves somewhere in his story.

And it looks like it may have all started on MSE and he is a huge fan of Martin Lewis - Jordan, I hope you read this thread

My 8pm shop worked with one each of carribean twist and cherry. Since when have value noodles gone up to 15p in Ts and value tuna 80p, lost a few pence there. :eek:

The value tuna chunks were 75p for a bit, then went back to 59p then it's shot up to 80p at weekend I buy it (or did) for the cats. Asda value tuna chunks are still showing at 61p on MSY (but the cats don't like the Asda one).

When he goes shopping, it is with military planning. He admits that he has been known to do spreadsheets before tackling Tesco.
He has a special plastic folder with all his discount vouchers in and he cross-references items online.
I’ll never just use a voucher when I get it. I wait for the items to be reduced in a sale or promotion, too. That’s where the real key is.

RN: I think you could be right :cool::D:rotfl:
