I REALLY need to stop doing top up shops several times a week, so hoping that this challenge will help. It should also help me to keep within my grocery budget (for a change!).
So can i please aim for 20 NSDs for this month.
I remember you,of course.Great to see you back WTBSE! :hello:0 -

Let's put it this way.....You think you can match me on dvd numbers - that's a relief...It's not just me.
I'm LLF (legally licence free - TV that is), so I mainly rely on DVDs for entertainment. I claim payments from a survey site (roughly £15 every couple of months) and two cashback sites (varying amounts) and a research panel (should be around £10 every 6 weeks, but I'm still new to this one) in Amaz0n vouchers - I've credited £120 to my Amaz0n account this way so far this year.
The majority of my DVDs are £2 or less including postage (most single films are £1.30 or less) including some box-sets. Some box sets cost (considerably) more, but then they have more disks in one pack so may well still work out at under £1.50 a disc
So that's a lot of DVDs in a year
In fact, 35 so far this year (for just over £55, so an average of under £1.60 each and less in total than 5 months of a TV licence would cost me) - and that includes a couple of box-sets, and several with more than one film to an outer box (so considerably less than £1.60 a disc). I've also had a couple from a charity shop (£1 each).
I'm currently waiting to find out if Amaz0n manage to get fresh stocks of a biiiig set I ordered a couple of months ago (41 discs for just over £15) but I'm not holding my breath as they recently cancelled an order I placed in Feb for a smaller set due to it 'no longer being in production'
I don't fancy counting my CDs either - nor my vinyl !!!
And books (especially cookery) is probably another area I'd best stay away from
They're not [strike]shoving me over[/strike] persuading me to move that easily.... had a quick look at when they booted us that way as it launched, and really didn't like what I saw!Knit_Witch wrote: »No I think the site is playing silly burgers! I suspect they are trying to get the new "improved" (hah!!!) skin out to all users (see the old one is bwoken- use the new shiny!)
Another site I use changed format a few years back, and I only made the move above 12 months ago when they introduced a feature I wanted to the new style (never updated the old which was fair enough).Cheryl0 -
