    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Bought myself a Thames Riverboat Cruise for £6.50 via Travel Zoo which saved me £5.20 on the normal advance online booking price.

    Did my 1st Sainsbury's online shop:

    Saved £8.25 for the 25% discount on the 6 bottles of wine
    Saved £10 on the 4 x boxes of 40 wash Ariel Actilift as each box was reduced by £2.50
    Got 12 free Ariel 3-In-1 pods with the boxes of Ariel worth £4.50
    Saved 10p on the mini naans
    Saved £2 on the 2 Be Good to Yourself chilled ready meals
    Used the £18 code for my 1st online shop over £60
    Used the £12 evoucher Sainsbury's emailed to me for not honouring the Prosecco deal :j

    #33 current total = £2335.53

    Enjoy your river cruise. No other way to do London in my view.

    I had a chat with a colleague on the bus back to work after the company lunch, and mentioned that I'm saving up for an e-bike. She very kindly donated her unused eco-vouchers, worth €70!


    The eco-vouchers are a Belgian government scheme where your employer can give you these vouchers free of tax (employer pays tax, not the employee), and they are to be used for anything 'green': washing powder, diy, garden, e-bikes. Hurray!

  • I haven't posted in a long while - been very busy as I have found myself a lovely new man (not sure he was wombled - but definitely worth keeping) I have read through and can't believe how fantastic everyone is doing. From memory my recent wombles are as follows:

    2 p road kill
    5p sachet of mayonnaise
    20.00 meal out with bf
    10.00 meal cooked for me
    20.00 drinks on night out
    10.00 photo book created of day out with my dd

    Total to date: £65.48

    It is going to have to be camping Bob, have found a couple of places in Holyhead which will work out to around £20 a night for the 6 of us, which is doable, but depending on the weather it could be a total washout! Thought I would do a bit of 'research' now there are only 6 weeks left.

    Hello wombles!

    Feeling really poorly today with a stinking cold! :(

    I did a carboot sale last Sunday which turned out not too busy. I made £47.20. Compared to what I usually made, that was pants! :eek: Still....better than nothing. To be fair, I was selling stuff for 50p-£1 so probably not too bad, and its emptied my cupboard! :D
    I'm doing another one on Saturday, weather permitting. I still have items in my friends storage unit. Let's hope it's busier than last week. It's at a different location so hopefully.
    I love the banter at carboot, and now I sell items people have given me knowing I do them, so it's all for free! :T

    Only free salad this week and bread rolls, as my sister has now gone on holiday for 2 weeks = £3 :)
    Living a frugal retirement without treading on the planet :T
