Hok3y, you must live in a town where people aren't bothered about dropping money because you find loads! lol. Yesterday whilst shopping I didn't find a sausage! i usually walk slowly past the 99p shop to see if I can spot any 1p's around there! hehe I'm going tesco later on this evening and keep my eyes peeled. Usually go a walk on Thursdays but my DD is very poorly and off school so we're staying in. xx
Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

Living where I do that would be an obvious conclusion except that I find lots of money in a shop which is in one of the most rough parts of the town and a chunk more in the town I work in - it's odd indeed. I do think a good part of it is lighting in the supermarkets - the worse the lighting, the better the finds!

Everyone is doing brilliantly - and you are right, Chrisblue, every penny does help! I am going to post my spreadsheet at the end of this month showing the finds for the last 2 months - it is surprising to me how different they look once I got truly serious around the middle of October.
We are back from our evening walk 86p richer which gives us a roadkill total of 91p for the day. We also have £1.99 from w/r with one more to check in the morning. I am too tired to stay up and wait the 3 hours out!Credit Card Freedom gained 14 Feb 2014!!Total Debt Freedom gained 29 Apr 2014!!Savings goal 30/9/23: £72,000/£538,001.....yes I'm serious!Total Debt August 2013: [STRIKE]$21,587[/STRIKE] April 2014: $0!!!!:j0
