    Pfffft, read that and all I could think of was over inflated rrp :rotfl:
    Surely she can't be 'saving' £2k a month if she isn't earning it in the first place.

    On another note I saved £3,000 this month just by buying all my food shopping in aldi instead of Harrods :D

    I think at lot of it wasn't actually coupons, it was voucher codes, buying from cheap places and using '2-4-1' entry offers for days out. Hardly coupons as we'd think of it!

    That is exactly what I thought, and she spent an awful lot on the body shop stuff:eek:

    And to save that much you need to be spending that much in the first place. As far as I am concerned I do not "save money" if I buy something cheap that I would not have bought anyway.

    This bus trip is taking forever :eek: :eek:

    I had hair extensions put in at the weekend. They look great except on top, where I can't seem to hide the rings very well without a can of hairspray :o

    In work I have been quite open about the :o part, but in public I feel like everyone is staring at me as an example of how not to have extensions :o

    My hairdresser is on her way to my house now to sort them out, but it's taking forever for me to get there :mad: :rotfl:

    That is what you call a bad hair day :eek: :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl:
    :rotfl: don't mean to laugh but it's funny. At least it's temporary and should get sorted soon :D

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I was reading this


    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2615742/Coupon-queen-saved-2-000-month-just-using-vouchers.html


    I don't think you could save £2000 a month. I have seen the amount of vouchers you get in the united states but in the UK?

    I read that too and agree with you Poppy. She works part time in Next so won't earn £2000 a month, so how could she even save that? When you actually read through the article it just doesn't add up. Typical DM journalism.

    Good luck to her though, it seems she's having a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget, so I can identify with that lol!:T I'm sure there's many here who can too!:rotfl:

    It's only a game

    i am having M&S salmon fishcakes and the boys and oh sausages..
    it still feels wrong opening the freezer to M&S food without whoopsie stickers on :rotfl:
    Did you get the 20 packs of M&S sausages? they were about £5 i think, but in the 3 for £10 deals. I put them in smaller bags to separate out. They were lovely, we've been using for ages. I'd deffo buy them again. I was going to take out fishcakes but got kieves out instead. Can't remember last time i ate a chicken kiev..

    good girl, that's an ace "saving". I also saved £3k this month, by going to Butlins instead of dubai for a holiday.:rotfl:
