Forgot to buy carrots yesterday so had to go back to supermarket this morning to buy them. So glad I did. Picked up some fantastic bargains in the fruit and veg aisle which will really help with diet. In total got £19.30 worth of food for £9.54 which saved me £9.76.
In addition a was given a £4.50 off voucher and a triple points voucher, both of which I can use against next weeks shop.
On checking my emails I also had a link to retrieve a £10 amazon voucher for some surveys that I've done. Going to treat myself to a kindle book with it this evening
I also forgot to log yesterday that I'd received a cheque from another survey site for £21.34

I've not posted for a while but during that time I've continued to save significant amounts on my shopping.
In a shop last week I bought £21.81 worth of food for just £9.26 which gave me a saving of £12.55.
This weekend we have been away so I only called in at the supermarket for a few bits but still managed to pick up a few bargains, including a couple of curries for 99p each (should have been £2.50 each) which saved us even more on the takeaway that we were going to have. Full price of items on this shop would have been £10. I paid £3.96 which gave me a saving of £6.04
I've also received money off vouchers for Mr S for a total of £21

Had a trip to the supermarket this evening and picked up some fantastic bargains. Lots of meat, fish, prawns and veg .... all with huge yellow sticker deductions.
The full price of the items I bought would have cost £56.47. I paid £23.38 which saved me a massive saving of £33.09 or 59%.
At the moment we are eating better than ever and saving lots of money along the way :j£1000 Emergency Fund Challenge #92 £302.55/£1000 (30.2%)0
