Roadkill Rebels - November 2013

Saver-upper

Hi,Everyone :hello:.
Today it had been my intention to go out to get and look for about £100 roadkill to give HOK3Y a run for her money,but life got in the way,so didn't happen.I have,however,got enough for the month to buy a coffee and cake,so happy with that(honest!).
Did actually get very excited this morning when walking to local garage to buy milk.Found a discarded lottery ticket,"saw" it was a winner of £2.I carried it home,all the while thinking I should have redeemed it while at garage,wondering whether to put it in my sealed pot for the year,or redeem first,etc.
When I got home and checked it properly,it wasn't worth £2 at all:had mistaken a £200 square for £2.00.Hmmmm.

Sooo,for this month,I have £4.70 cash to declare.
Don't know if it is being counted somehow,but also this month I did manage to save £10 in Tesco using "Spend £40 save $5" wombled receipts.

Aiming to exceed this in December.This has definitely become a serious hobby for me.I even look for roadkill while I am driving :eek:,especially while stopped at lights.Not sure what I would actually do if I found any roadkill in these circumstances;put on the hazard lights and jump out to retrieve,I guess :rotfl:

HOK3Y

LOL! SU you make me laugh!!! I too look for coins when I am at lights and have yet to spot any......which I am grateful for......because I WOULD hold up traffic!!!

Love how determined you are and I am betting you are going to smash your November total this coming month. I can tell you are tuned in to the roadkill frequency!!!! And yes, if you found those receipts and saved yourself pennies, then into the w/r total it goes. I am adding to the total as people post so hopefully we will have an idea soon of how much we have collected from the streets as a group......whoop!

60p in November for me. Whilst it isn't as good as what some of you have found, it's still 60p I didn't have let's all have a fantastic December

HOK3Y

60p is easily a pint of milk Rebecca! When I first start searching for roadkill, this was a typical monthly find for me and it really helped me understand the benefit when I thought about what I hadn't had to pay for out of my own pocket. 60p is 60p more than you had when you started, you are right! Well done and I would wager a few pennies that you will find more in December - keep going! x

A grand total of £1.05 for November.

My report card will read must try harder and concentrate more if I am to realise my potential next month.

Reporting in with my final totals: £7.25 roadkill, 7 wombled tesco points and £1 click snap from a Wombled receipt. Happy with that but I know I can do better! Just off out now to begin december's challenge. Will post spreadsheet of coin locations later today.

Can someone please explain what wombled receipts are? Thanks

HOK3Y

Hi Lioness, they have been explained a couple of times in this thread and also in a separate thread purely about wombled receipts. You can either read through this thread or do a forum search.
