Make £10 a day - July 2013 challenge ~ everybody most welcome to join at anytime

Just done a shop at Aldi and saved £11.03 due to £6.03 money off coupons in last weeks paper and a £5 refund for product purchased last month that was already out of date when I bought it.

Have to say their customer service was brilliant. Sent a letter and received a letter then phone call followed by a visit from area manager with a bouquet of flowers by way of apology and told to claim refund on next visit.

Also cashed in my coin pots and money boxes (different ones for different coins) and banked £60.

Balance so far £71.03. Here's hoping this continues.

I've never even heard of such a thing but I definitely want to give it a go!
I'm not going to commit an amount but if anyone has any tips do let me know!

Already about to add a load of stuff on to eBay but I'm waiting for a free listing weekend! Can anyone recommend which places to sign up for mystery shopping and surveys?

Quite fancy trying my hand at arts and crafts but I'm not sure I'll be good enough to try and sell just yet!

Any tips and advice much appreciated

Have a look at the first post there's plenty of ideas to get you started and make sure you read the thread daily to keep you motivated. Also have a look at the following articles on MSE

I've got 20.78 to get me started this month £5 SB, £5 Halifax and £10.78 ebay.

I've been looking today at selling old DVD's & CD's. I think ebay is the best way to go. Amazon fees seem high unless i've read it wrong. They charge 75p per item plus a selling fee.

Has anybody else sold CD's/DVD's on Amazon?

£20.10/£310 so far for me, just updated my signature. £4.81 from shopping refund for items that were slightly grey (but still edible no doubt!), £4.80 from PTC site, £10.49 from review site

Which review site do you use if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking of giving one a try x

On the subject of DVDs, I had assumed wrongly eBay was swamped, I sold some at a church fair for £3 each and some at a car boot for £2, put one (Stella series 1) on eBay last week, started at 99p and got £3.50 for it, also sold Blu Rays for from £1 something to £6.55, these had been free in connection with some work I did, so had to be pleased with that. I listed a DVD (the Trip) on eBay yesterday and have a bid of 99p so far.

Not much activity here today...I had a £10 ebay sale and found 15p loose...that bumps me up a little.

Turns out I am in a contract at the gym and despite my Fibromyalgia, arthritis and hands being very painful, and it being a round trip of 20 miles to go to the gym, I am stuck with another 9 months of it...so now I plan on going everyday...If only for a sauna and jacuzzi and to save money on shower gel (they have complimentary shower gel, shampoo and moisturisers)...

I had a bad trip to cinema today so may get some compensation soon? we can but live in hope!

Nothing to add today waiting for musicmagpie payment any day and got several tcb and quidco payments waiting. Got taken out to lunch today, so in a way saved £8.50 and then had dinner with inlaws so saved money but won't add that

Tried a couple of surveys this morning but they weren't very successful. Very few I manage to go all the way through!
