Just caught up with reading, looks like everyone is doing really well considering it's such a sluggish cold month! All those pennies really do add up!
Last week I managed:
£10 off £50 spend for online Slainsburys shop, so did the weeks grocery shop and saved a tenner.
0.75p Amazon voucher cleared from TCB
£4.80 worth of free travel as twice last week the bus driver punched my saver ticket but the hole didn't appear! So that was two free journeys to work and I don't have to buy a new ticket till next week now!
I really need to buckle down and get some surveys done, I have loads of them in my in-box just slowly going out of date :cool: I need to give myself a shove! Also I'm sure there's some reclaiming-y things I could and should be doing but.. motivation is hard when it's a choice between sitting snuggled up in warm armchair with a cuppa and a good book, or hunting around chilly rooms for paperwork and stuff...
I will aim to do better next week!!:pNOV 2014 £151.74/£150 ... DEC 2014 £303.81/300 ... JAN 2015 £143.33/£150

Massively behind schedule this month!
Couple more bits to declare though. I've moved on from pizza coupons onto nakd bar coupons! Used 3 so far - coupon scans at 75p but they're on offer for 50p in Mr t at the moment so an extra 25p off other items. Also wobbled at 37p off next shop receipt.
Did make £27.66 through TCB but will only count that once it's paid out. Also have another £67.67 confirmed in there which I'm hoping will be payable soon!
So I'm currently only on £10.79 - need to get cracking!Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
Current debt - £5,935.00
Total paid off - £9,665.89 (61% paid off)0 -
I wombled a six pack of beer!
Someone left it in their shopping trolley in the cark park. Finders keepers!Your biggest asset is TIME! I'm focused on multi-generational financial freedom.0 -

You sound just like me, D-B:o.
I'm not tracking down paperwork at the minute (although it's surprising what I unearth when looking for something else.) but I need to dig out all my remaining books from wherever I've stashed them safely away and forgotten where:o. I need to get them listed on Amazon asap, they aren't bringing in any money stuck in boxes and drawers. Sold quite a lot this last few days (not updated on here yet), lots of people like you and me are snuggled up reading in this horrible weather.
Take care:coffee:0 -
Couple of things to add:
97p ebay sale
17p Asda thing
When I was in town last Weds DD2 texted me saying 'I need a copy of An Inspector Calls ASAP' As they do. Amazingly I found one in a charity shop for 70p - I know lots of schools do this play. A new one would have cost me £7.99 according to Waterstones website so I'm going to put the £7.29 saved in here as it was a piece of luck.
New total is £18.79.
Joined Crowdology but they keep promising me money then screening me out!August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.0 -
Some brilliant amounts posted, well done everyone:T.
A quick update from me. Some amounts still pending/floating around in cyberspace but this is what I've actually received in the past week:- £41.10 from books sold on Amazon (profit after fees etc). (Quite a lot of low-value books this time)
- £4 Pinecone
- £10.70 PanelBase
- 50p roadkill
Have enough to redeem £3 at MySurvey but as this is one of the few survey companies that sends me lots of surveys and doesn't often screen me out (unlike most others:mad:) I'll leave it with them and try to notch up some more first.
Have a good week, everyone. Good luck.0 -
I've not posted much this month but I'm busy working away on my total.
Does anyone know how I can find out if vouchers for Marks and Spencer's are still valued, I found some when I was looking through a bag that I've not used for a while. I can't find an expiry date on them or a receipt0 -

I love it when a Charity Shop find is THAT specific - makes me believe there is a "god of charity shops" to call upon lolPiggyBankShaker wrote: »10 items ending on ebay today - come on people, buy my crap!
