Roadkill Rebels - November 2013

Tahlullah

Hello everyone. Found £2.20 on the back seat of a taxi today. Biggest haul for me to date, so making a grand total of £2.28 so far.

I believe I have now peaked!

Take the voucher to the checkout at your next shop, together with the original receipt (they won't accept the voucher without it) and then they will mark the receipt, take the voucher and reduce your shopping bill accordingly.

I've been trying to cut my shopping spends to the bone in recent weeks, but even so it's a rare trip where my receipt hasn't generated a quid or more in reductions. My mum is more spendier than I am, and often gets an APG voucher from her receipt for four or five quid.

Thanx SB, what is APG and do WR vouchers have expiry dates on them?

I have abit of a dilemma some days.
I am on the No Spend Days thread,but I also need an excuse to lurk around supermarkets and other shops,so on days like today,I go to the supermarket simply to buy milk,bread and roadkill .
So my NSD total stalls,AND ,like today,I don't find roadkill.
Having said I didnt find anything,I did find another trolley token this afternoon(2 for the month).
So,my tally for this month is £2.24 roadkill,2 trolley tokens,3 buttons,5 soft drink ring-pulls and a piece of cardboard out of a fireworks.
Not planning to give up my day job anytime soon..........:rotfl:
Chrisfreelander54,I believe it does still count even if earnings are spotted by a small child.A couple of times people have mentioned they will be helped by those closer to the ground.I certainly will be taking advantage of any child of mine who is willing to get on their hands and knees at the side of the road,kicking leaves out of the way to reveal 'kill

I'm in a bit of a predicament, there is a road I walk past that's always quite messy, rubbish on the pavements and overflowing bins in doorways, but yesterday I spotted a few coppers and a 5p amongst the rubbish. It's still there today! But it is in someone's door way, between a wrought iron gate and fence so I am too scared to go and pick them up! They're really old coins, the coppers have started to go green from rust or something. If I go in the little walkway to the door I'm worried someone will come out and have a go at me, it's not somewhere where I can quickly retrieve and hurry off. Please help rebels! Should I just go for it? I thought about coming back after dark but that will look even more dodgy!

Well I said I wouldn't post in the thread again until I had found another coin but....

Gthot I would go for it, and if someone does come out just say that you dropped something and were picking it up. Easier said than done I know but I think I would be more inclined to do that than lie on the floor in the middle of a busy shop!

Oh yeah I found a penny at work last thing yesterday, it was in a busy office so I went down to adjust my lace and picked it up. The drought is over, I never knew finding a penny could bring such joy!

Thanks Muhren, I will attempt a shoelace tie operation at approximately 1700 hours. :rotfl:

I have hit a dry patch, nothing for me yesterday, and I was pipped to the post for the shiny 10p in school car park this morning by a little boy! His parents are teaching him well obviously! :rotfl:
