Although I haven't check in often I have been participating in this challenge all year. It was a bit daunting at first but I soon got into the swing of it.
I had a mega payout from an insurance company but not taking this into account I have made £2070 smashing the 2014 target!
I will definitely be doing this in 2015.
This month I made money from:
A competition win
Buying pressies in the pop up sales
Cashback
Using loyalty points
Some freebies from O2 priority rewards
Retailer coupons
Going to a restaurant for the early bird offer
Free Greggs pasty
Market research
I am having a rest for 2 weeks and then I will be back on it in 2015!

well the year is nearly done and I must admit everything went out the window once December hit. still got loads of bargains using the staff discount card for bhs that my lovely daughter got me, but been to lazy to list or work out how much saved.
I hope there is another thread for 2015 as I am pleased with the amount saved even though the target wasn't reached.
