    3x £13.97 APGs used today :D My fridge is full of carrots, onions and parsnips as i use a single one as a 'filler'. Soon adds up and now I have hundreds!

    If you're near a tesco, check out Disney DVD's and Blurays- they are still advertised as BOGOF when the promotion ended yesterday. I picked up:

    1x£10 Bluray
    3x£7 DVDs
    =£31
    Double The Difference given
    =£28 refunded
    =£3 paid!! :D :beer:

    Im going to list them on ebay, I picked up frozen for my DD (but mother has bought it for her) and sleeping beauty so I'll put them on and pick up a tidy profit :D

    £8111

    £20 ebay sales
    £1 roadkill- right after I paid for parking!

    Im bobbing along nicely at the moment. All my financials are up to date and next month should see me put away £1000 from my wages. All I should be spending for the rest of this month is petrol money. I have an online APG for £24 to use up soon so that covers food. Lets see how I do :D

    YB, what a pleasant surprise to see you here! Thank you very much, being a single mum isnt that hard though, just means I have to cook from scratch and dont have the latest gadgets. But Im ok with that :)

    How are you getting on? I haven't been on your thread for a few days, I'll pop over soon...


    I fairly browse these forums now adays as trying to live as frugal as possible and its a decent passtime(i think, is it just me??) that is free of charge!! Yeh when you put it like that, id rather have savings in the bank for a deposit like you have!! Im ok, just working away, not getting much done at work just now with the rain but hopefully can see out the winter without missing a pay :money:fingers crossed anyway!
    :eek:Living frugally at 24 :beer:

    £5 ebay sale

    £13.xx APG's used (used about 6! :D)

    Normally when an apg for a glitch is £10ish I'll use cheap sweets/ ginger knob (:D) as fillers so I part with as little cash as possible, but as this ones giving out £13 apg's, im stocking up on cupboard basics (beans 24p, pasta 20p, sweetcorn 35p, bread 45p, squash 42p ect) adding 2 free pizzas (the only veggie flavours) tins of cat food 55p and still spending pennies! I have had to turn on my second fridge to use just for veg as I have a pile of half carrots, a pile of half parsnips, onions (red and brown) mushrooms, tomatoes, limes (10 limes, anyone know a good recipe?!), garlic, separated grapes- all for free! My stock room is very stocked, my fridge(s) are bursting, my freezer is the fullest its ever been and theres no room at the inn in my cupboards.

    I cant stop though until the glitch has finished. I will regret it if I do so I'll just have to keep buying and find a new home for it all, probably the spare bedroom! The thing is, I still have a £24 online APG I need to use as it expires on the 19th... :D £24 buys me a lot of stuff when I only buy basics!
