    Went on a wombling adventure to Asda yesterday to try and womble receipts, no such luck, but considering i meant to do this on saturday and was overcome with a panic attack i'm glad i was able to yesterday.

    But in tescos they had on offer a damaged box of captain morgans and coke cans, usually ten in the case but one was missing. as a result it was reduced from 10 pounds to 5 pounds!!!! :j

    So will deduct 50p for the missing one and claim 4.50. :j

    Wow Florence thats such a great bargain. I love a rum!

    Nice womble! :)

    I wombled :
    5 baked spuds=£1
    2 bags lettuce leaves=£2

    My sister told me to take them from her fridge or they would go off by the time she gets back from her hols.:)

    I haven't been out walking as I've been sick, so no roadkill. Hopefully on my travels tomorrow!:j

    Are you better now?

    Doing quite well on ebay sales at the moment. But I dont count that as wombling as its getting rid of something I already paid for. But brightens the day knowing you're a few £s up.

    Got a 50p off coupon for Mr S. The last one worked more than once ;)

    I've been doing the Asda 10% thing & then dropping the money saved straight onto the Christmas savings card.
    No roadkill today, but what's the term for coins found in the laundry? 'Soapkill'? As I'm up 20 pence... (And various socks are still AWOL but I've stopped spending time thinking about that.)
    Got the code for a fathers day mug, sorted the photos & then found the coupon had timed out so I walked away from it. Saved £3. (Sorry to anyone who was hoping & missed out on a code.)
    Found I've £27 of Tesco vouchers so will get the next-size up school uniform with that. (Not forgotten son growing 3 "years" in one term - thank the Gods for littler brothers)

    My daughter paid £10.33 for a ticket for me to go to Hidden Rooms for an escape room game with her and her brother. We had fun, but we did not manage to work out all of the clues in the 60 minutes, so we were then released from the room :o

    Had a takeaway meal from the local Caribbean takeaway paid for by my daughter £4

    Found 2p on the floor of the Caribbean takeaway

    Iceland are giving away pizza trays with any rising dough pizza (one per customer) so i bought a pizza and so did my boyfriend, pizza trays state they have a rrp of 3 quid, so 6 quid wombled there.

    Also I'm counting this as a womble. Me and my boyfriend play football and he's been wanting me to get football boots, to the point he was going to buy them for me, we were looking at spending 20 quid but then found a pair in my size in the charity shop for 4 pounds, so 16 pounds saving there.

    Total 22 quid :)
