    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Dizzy- you say that but I saw punnets of blackberries from the UK on sale for £1 in Mr T today. When they are free from the hedgerow. So you can put a monetary value for foraged fruit.

    OK - if it's allowed! I reckon I had at least 2lbs of apples and Bramleys are around £1.60/kg (sorry to mix weights and measures - of an age where I was taught both), so I think I'll "claim" about £1.80. Discovered a second walnut tree and a hazelnut tree in the orchard at the weekend too, although, annoyingly, the windy weather has dislodged lots of fruit from these, but we may have some home-grown nuts later this year. I'm starting to plan my veggie patch for next year and DH really wants a fruit cage (sweet tooth) so lots of hard work ahead of us. Our fabulous chickens have laid 6 eggs in three days, so about £1.00-worth of organic eggs too! :D
  • Got £1.80 last week and £2 this week for ClickSnap purchases on Quidco. Paid into my Paypa Accountl then transferred into my Savings Account

    I also had £2.50 in tips and hit the payment limit on COS of £5 :) pleased with that.



    I requested a payout from CoS when my total was at £4.42. It said it was too low but it appeared in my bank account 7 days later and disappeared off my Cos balance.:T

    I actually had bit of good luck and won £100 on a scratch card yesterday, not wombling as i bought the scratchcard but still wanted to share my excitement.


    I think we can call £99 of it wombling ;)

    Hi there

    No thats not quite right. They are both the same company, but they both work.

    Bob


    I uploaded 5 receipts on CoS then onto Clicksnap after. The clicksnap ones were rejected due to already being submitted. :(




    I wombled a free lotto ticket by using 'search lotto' instead of g00gle.:D

    How strange. I've had no trouble at all. Getting credited both sides.

    Dizzy - your orchard really does sound incredible with all its wonderful fruits and nuts. It sounds like you have a lovely Good Life going on :)

    Yes, I'm a little bit worried that I'm not up to the challenge... I'm so rubbish at gardening that we had an astro-turf lawn at our last house. Not sure our budget would stretch to doing that here lol.

    Very excited today as we are going on a money-can't-buy tour of the Airbus factory today, courtesy of DH's cousin who works there. I think it's a friend's and family event organised by the management and "kids" get to sit in cockpits and play at being pilots :D It's my womble of the day (doesn't have a monetary value, but free to me!)

    Well all you can do is your best! And we all learn when we have to. Sounds like many if the mature plants and bushes are already doing their thing :)

    Wow that sounds a great freebie, have a lovely day. :)

    No thats not quite right. They are both the same company, but they both work. Not sure it should, but it does....

    And also on that note. Do check that there arent any cash back items on the reciepts you womble before you bin them. I have found reciepts before where I can claim a £1 back just for finding the right reciept.
    I normally now apply the following to any reciept I find
    1) Can I womble points from the supermarket directly?
    2) Has it got a value with one of the shopping apps if I upload it?
    3) Does it have any value for cashback via the shopping apps in addition to the small amount they give you just for uploading.

    Thats my master wombling tips for the day :)

    Bob

    That's good to know, thank you. I have downloaded click snap now & have 3p on it from wombled receipts. Not much but it all counts.

    Thank you
