I found 5p roadkill on my way to work yesterday

Wayne gave me £55 when I saw him on Thursday evening


I bought 2 X 70g boxes of Terry's All Gold in Poundland on BOGOF promotion which saved me £1

I got an e-code from Tesco for 300 Clubcard points for being a Delivery Saver customer throughout 2016 and I have saved £224 by doing a mid week delivery saver plan, rather than paying £5 or even £6 for my preferred delivery slot each week, I am only paying £3 a month :T

I also got an e-code from Tesco for a free stonebaked or american pizza worth £3 :T

I found 7p on a classroom floor yesterday

#33 current total = £7571.97

Fantastic wombles!:j

So everybody, the time has come to start thinking about next year's challenge. I can't believe we will be going into the 3rd year of Remember Your a Womble is that our paper anniversary? It would be quite appropriate if it were considering our love of the paper stuff (reciepts and Wonga of course)

I'm thinking for 2017 of having different categories of Wombling, if that doesn't put people off, we can always keep reporting just one total. Best street finds, best BOGOF buying etc, Most £s added onto supermarket loyalty cards. Anyway I shall ruminate over the festive period. I did hope to see lots of you signing up again for 2017, I love being with like minded folk, I think of you all whenever I score some mega floor change

Evening wombles!

Rather impressed by you winning both the pub and work quizzes Florence - I'm always super carp at those:rotfl:

It's been rather slim pickings on the wombling front in Dizzyland. even my hens are slowing down laying eggs, but do have £3 egg sales to report. DH was given a pair of good quality work gloves which are a tenner to buy. I'll claim £2 for them. Some brilliant YS bargains on the fish counter with cod fillets, salmon slices and scallops snapped up with a saving of £5.33 off the full price. Used a Tesco £10 voucher and had further savings of £9.20 on special offers and promotions.

Saved £12 on a lovely set of nail varnishes in the Boots 3for2 gift offer, which my delightful SD then reallocated as an extra present for her mother for Christmas! I'd already spent £40 buying the expensive face cream she simply has to have! Humph!

Ooh, totalling that lot up actually gives me savings of £41.53, which is not too shabby

Oooooooh I hate it when coupons do not work.
Used my £5 T0sc0 voucher for party food. Went to the dedicated 'party food' freezer, bought £3 worth, looked everywhere for veggie sausage rolls. 3 different kinds of meat ones, but no veggie ones. Ok thinks I, sausage rolls are def party food, so I nipped over to the 'free from' freezer and there were the new veggie sausage rolls (accidentally suitable for vegans) on 2 for £2.50, so I got 2 bags of 30 sos rolls. Went to the till, coupon would not work, got the till elf over, 'oh, you have not spent £5' he said. I pointed at the £5.50 total. 'Oh!', he said, 'is it all party food?', rummaging about, it was all party food (I had done my proper shop earlier). 'Hmm it's not working!' he said. 'I don't know why it isn't working'. So I tried my not quite Paddington stare, smiled and said, 'please make it work'. So he entered by hand that it was a £5 voucher and I left having spent 50p.
60 veggie sos rolls, 2 boxes of mini veg spring rolls and one box of onion bhajis. None of which I would have bought otherwise, if I am being honest, but they will do as accompaniments to other meals or after I drag the kids out for cold weather walkies.
Claiming £5. Not sorry.

Morning Wombles!

I had a good one on Sunday I forgot to report. Found a bag of stuff put out to the kerb. Had a circular cake storage box, whixh will be just right for keeping my Christmas Cake fresh. 2 other snap lock boxes, 2 China serving platters, and a hanging storage solution thingy, which I'm going to use for storing toys. Not bad
hey!

Also had quite a lot of leftovers from Sundays event so packed them up and they did lunch yesterday.

5p yesterday
