FunBrum - yes I think so. Why not
To my delight this morning I found a brand match for £2.51 just lying there on the path ahead. I scrambled to grab it and have dried it out at home" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

I went clothes shopping with dd7y yesterday. We got 3 long sleeves, 2 sets of thick 'Frozen' mittens (also for dd4y), and 3 vests from €42.75 for €33.69. Best part: I still had a voucher from dd4y birth and paid with that! I'll claim €33.69.
And we bought toothpaste free-after-rebate. I'll claim €4.99 - €0.69 (for the stamp) = €4,30.Are you wombling, too, in '22? € 58,96 = £ 52.09Wombling in Restrictive Times (2021) € 2.138,82 = £ 1,813.15Wombabeluba 2020! € 453,22 = £ 403.842019's wi-wa-wombles € 2.244,20 = £ 1,909.46Wombling to wealth 2018 € 972,97 = £ 879.54Still a womble 2017 #25 € 7.116,68 = £ 6,309.50Wombling Free 2016 #2 € 3.484,31 = £ 3,104.590 -
Well done everyone
Good wombling day so far:
Used £1 voucher to get a free Covent Garden soup
Got 2 packs of 4 muller yoghurts free ( iceland offer when buying 3 Slimming world meals) value £3
A free newspaper 60p
Instead of paying weekly at Slimming World I bought 12 weeks for the price of 10 so saved £9.90
So £14.50 added to total
A few receipts to add to receipt piggie .£2 savers club 2025 #40 -
Another penny added to may haul thanks to COS today. Picked up 2 pairs of Christmas socks for 50p each and a huge box of Thorntons for £1.50 too. I wouldn't have bought them if not reduced, so I'm not adding them to my total, but presents ticked off for the year ahead anyway:money:
Swapped some pound coins for £2 with OH and had some coppers and 20ps in my change at Mr T so they'll all go in their correct jars :TThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Great forward planning! Not sure the chocolates would last in this house. I have been known to raid the kids' stashes when I've got a craving :embarasse
Hubby came home with an ex-display 5m extension cable today. Been used in the showroom counter area, so can't now be sold to customers as the seal/wrapper was removed. Was written off and destined for the skip until he swooped in and snaffled it :T RRP is £8.95, but I'll add £2 to my total as it is second-hand (and a little dusty :rotfl:)
Great wombling everyone - especially liking the Frozen mittens Siebrie. It is VERY cold here tonight and the hills are now snow-capped, so I think winter has arrived. Out with my bobble hat and (unFrozen) mittens me thinks!0 -
My daughter decided to stay at home with us for another week as she has a week of Annual leave, so she gave me £50. I picked up 1p roadkill in Brixton.
#33 Total = £86.510 -
Good morning wombles!:hello:
I couldn't get to a WiFi connection yesterday so I couldn't report my wombling efforts.:(
I only had a 2 mile hike yesterday, and it was dark so didn't see any shrapnel lying about! I did however snap up a boxed Tesco finest range chocolate cake, as a parting gift from my niece as I left London. I'm not sure of the price but will update later.
Thanks Bob I will add £12 or my free maccys meal and Chinese meal.:j
Right...after looking after my granddaughter this morning, I'm off to see what else I can womble!:TLiving a frugal retirement without treading on the planet :T
