Found a womble for £179.10 earlier and the punter had used 12 x £3.10 vouchers in part payment. I Googled the vouchers and found that they are probably Healthy start vouchers given to pregnant women and families with kids under 4 who receive Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Child Tax Credit.

Is it wrong of me to wonder how someone on benefits with young kids can afford to spend so much cash on one shop including alcohol, energy drinks and even nearly a quid on two posh cat pouches!!

And seriously, £8 on in-wash smelly things to make your clothes smell nice?? You still need to put in detergent and softener in your machine and these are just beads that you chuck in the drum.

After getting this womble I am beginning to think that having a full time job is way overrated!!:rotfl:

2 x Lenor Unstoppables In-Wash Scent Booster Beads Lav... £8.00 £10.00
1 x Russian Standard Vodka (700ml) £11.00 £17.50
1 x Foster's (12x440ml) £9.00 N/A
2 x Monster Energy Drink (4x500ml) £6.00 £6.00
1 x Monster Absolute Zero Drink (500ml) £1.00 £1.00
1 x Fairy Non Bio Laundry Gel - 16 Washes (592ml) £3.00 £6.00
1 x Purina Gourmet Perle Tuna & Shrimps in Gravy - Pou... £0.50 £0.55
1 x Felix As Good as it Looks Tuna in Jelly - Pouch (1... £0.48 N/A

Do you reckon they even have a cat :eek: :rotfl:

It does make you wonder, yes a few treats but:eek::eek: saying that , thats probably there money for 2 weeks or more, dont know as never had any

I can understand the voddie and the beer a bit and maybe at a push, a small treat for your pu**y, but £8 on beads to chuck in with your washing to make your clothes smell nice when you are on benefits? Seriously??

When was the last time any of us ever spent £179 on a single shop? I don't think I ever, ever have, even in my muggle days and I have been in a full time job for the last 30 odd years.

I forgot about the beads:o utter waste of money:eek:
I have NEVER even before the elite spent that on a shop, think the most i spent was £90 odd and it was in Morrisons in about 2005:rotfl::rotfl: at xmas i had saved the stamps every week:T

EMMAP

I think alongside benefits they should also give classes to show you how to manage what money you do have better. I think they've started to do this in food banks now because of Martin Lewis? It's called financial triage or something like that.

I wish I'd had lessons in money management at school. Although isn't it something they're doing now? Hope so!
