Roadkill Rebels - November 2013

HOK3Y

Oh, and I also learned clearly yesterday that supermarkets are not created equal for this roadkill malarkey.......the small Morri$ons that I go to every working lunchtime usually yields a few coins each trip. The gigantic one here in my home town gave me 1p last night because it is insanely well lit. I mean, burn-your-retinas-bright. I figure this makes coins stand out and so they get snapped up. I should complain to the manager and point out he could improve his profit if he took the wattage down a bit.......:D

Do you guys use Qmee? It pays you for searching the net. I've made about £2 in the last couple of months for nothing. If you fancy trying it, PM me your email and I'll send you a link (they give me a few pennies for introducing friends when they cashout for the first time which you can do with even just 1p!)......then you can introduce your friends too!

Hi Hok3y and all

Yesterday I found 29p in loose change on my travels.

Sadly, on Thursday, whilst I was driving I found real roadkill - a rabbit, which I initially thought was a cat (cat lover you see, hence reason for stopping). It looked like it had just fallen asleep so I did the decent thing and donned some work gloves and gently put it on the grass verge rather than leave it in the road.

Slightly daft question...:o

What exactly are "Wombled receipts" and how does it work?

If you find an A$da receipt with at least eight DIFFERENT grocery items, you can type the barcode of the receipt into their price guarantee website and it will give you a voucher if it wasn't 10% cheaper than other supermarkets. No guaranteed results and hubby and I check our local store at least twice a day. You must staple the original receipt to the voucher or they won't accept it. This has really helped with our food costs.

Not a daft question chrisblue - see above. You can also womble receipts fom costa and boots - you take them to customer services and have the points balance added to your card. It is amazing what people throw away!

2p found at country park that's a grand total of 7p now DS2 is trouncing me! 79p and he's in school all day!

"I love to go a-wombl-ing, along the mountain track":rotfl:Not that you'd find many receipts up on a mountain !! ha ha.

I found a £20 off electricals/computing from Mr. T yesterday in the carpark, but I would need to spend £100 to get the £20 off. Not sure if I will be able to save up enough for a Hudl before the expiry date......

Also wombled a receipt for 2 extra clubcard points. Need to be careful with those though as I have read on here that they will take your card off you if you try to do too many.:o

I only found 2p yesterday; 1p in the university library and 1p inside the Spar shop.

I then had to pay almost £10 in overdue book fines (epic fail) so not such a great day on the money saving front

I'm about to head out for a walk before it gets dark (1) to hunt for some more roadkill and (2) to have a break from studying.

Nothing found today and only little bits of money recently. However, I do not rule out that there is higher value coinage/paper money awaiting me!
