    Hi All

    Hope you don't mind me joining in. I have been keeping track since January of all the money I have made 'Wombling' as I have termed it, but some of it is via tips so not sure if that's a traditional wombling. For me the goal has been to use any money made to pay off my debt quicker.

    Things I do & chat about on the 'Remember your a Womble' thread on debt free wannabee:

    - Actively go out hunting dropped reciepts and vouchers which I then have added to my own totals
    - look for roadkill
    - Use Checkoutsmart & Shoptize to make money
    - Take part in market research
    - YS shop then zero sum it from my shopping budget to make overpayments
    - Forage a little bit for any useful fruit or veg growing wild in my area.
    - use cashback sites for bigger purchases.

    Anyway I've made over £600 in the year to date which is more than I thought it would be when I started counting.

    I have popped over to learn more from you guys on how you do so well on your free shopping.

    How lovely to see you Bob:T

    You will fit in really well........spend a little time ready posts and you'll soon get the hang of it :D

    Now road kill, or being paid £1 to eat a pizza, even though I said I wasnt buying any this time as they are uurrgg, I think it would be in preference. :p
