    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
    She saved £2k that month, mothersday, mothers birthday, boyfriends birthday party and her own 21st "break" were (apparently) all in the same month.
    £800 of the savings were on a
    Holiday to Disneyland Paris for Emma's 21st, RRP: £900 for 2 night stay three people; Emma paid £93 through Groupon
    and a further £300 saved by moving back to her mums:rotfl:

    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 wonder how much she saved on that single tin of beans in the picture :think:

    At 68p a can you could say that those of us who bought 140 tins of beans have saved £79.20

    Who needs coupons? :rotfl:

    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.

    Exactly!
    I did look at the list and think she paid way too much for BS and HM stuff even after discounts :rotfl:
    Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    I just said the same thing to my OH.
    We managed to grab some beans and those added to the Ts ingredients bits I must have saved a hundred quid in the last 3 days already :D (for those wondering the biggest amount of mocs i got accepted at once was 20 :D with my favourite chatty SA)
