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!" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

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.

Pokes head around doorframe
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)0 -

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 quidDebt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020
