  • Among different styles of shopping. Doing mystery shopping seems to be lucrative and effective. I have been a mystery shopper for quite some time and I feel it is one of the powerful way to analyse which shopping place (especially online) is better. I am enrolled to a mystery shopping service which provides a complete guide about mystery shopping.
  • Spent £2.00 yesterday on some Sushi for lunch not brilliant I know but didn't have a chance to get anything for lunch as stayed at mums the night before.

    £9.39 at Mr T (stocked up on giant bag of pasta and hash browns because Aldeee don't do them). £14.99 for a six-month [EMAIL="Oc@do"]Oc@do[/EMAIL] Smart Pass so I can get free delivery slots and 10% discount on some of my favourite products. The reduction in stress from not having to do a big shop is completely worth it. I will deduct it from this month's GC budget.

    First shop of the month was mini one for bread, milk and some fruit. £7.50. Freezer drawers still pretty packed so will eat out of there to free up a bit of space for Christmas goodies. Easy tea of scrambled eggs on toast tonight followed by fruit and yoghurt.

    Hello all

    I did a shop yesterday at local Coop. It not ideal, as pretty expensive, but it was handy to drop in after a visit to doctor's. I'm struggling with a cold which has taken my voice away completely!

    Anyway, i spent £13, which wasn't too bad, and i am now sorted for grub until Monday if i don't feel like going out again.
