Have put a little bit more into EF and I now have the princely sum of £40. Woo hoo.....
Any cashback this month is going to go in this pot so hoping it will add some nice amount and who knows might get over £50 by end of August??? Well we can but live in hope.

Dowmloaded the 'CheckoutSmart' app this week and it looks like a goer. Tomorrow, i will be popping into Sainsburys and picking-up 1 pint of milk, 1 1.75L bottle of Coke lite and 1 loaf of kingsmill farmhouse sliced loaf. By scanning in the receipt for my purchase, I will get a full refund.
When I picked my son up Friday, he handed me a 3p off a litre voucher from the EADT. I will use this Friday when I fill my car up and save £1.20.Never Knowingly Understood.
