22 Nectar points today, 7 of which were from a wombled receipt. 4p in uploaded receipts and a free trip to the cinema which should have cost £10.10.

Fabbo! What did you go and see Muhren?

Had a very spendy day yesterday as we had to do our big weekly shop and spent a whopping £95. Toiletries and laundry supplies were included in that figure as almost everything needed topping up. We are optimistic that we wouldn't need to buy any more during the week. We'll have to make do with what we've got in stores as we are down to the last £80 for the grocery and household budget for the rest of the month, and £40 for the petrol budget. On a more positive note, we did get a good ys haul last night, including 10pc tray of eggs for 14p, 3pc pink lady apples for 9p, cucumber for 19p, 8 or 9 pcs lemon and lime pack for 9p, salad pack for 9p, a pot of basil plant for 9p, pot of chives for 9p, crunchy stir fry vegetables for 19p, egg fry noodles 69p (we had this for dinner last night and today's packed lunches x3 - chicken chow mein for less than £2) roast chicken for £2.40, 2 pairs of newborn shorts (for my soon-to-be born nephew) for 50p, a long sleeves shirt for £1.20 and a nice party dress for my niece (going to my Christmas pressie stash) for £4. I also earned 21 points plus 200 bonus points and a voucher for 6p off per liter of fuel (to be used this weekend when my petrol runs out). A good shop I'd say. Plus I picked up a handful of receipts to be uploaded on cos and csnap and one of the receipts yielded £3.40 APG.
Today I found a 5p roadkill.

That really is an excellent food haul. And clothing by the sounds of it. We are over the halfway point now of the month is it doable to keep to your budgets do you think? Petrol sounds a worry?

I used £10 of Nectar points towards my Vue cinema ticket today to watch the Danish Girl. So I got to see a brilliantly acted film for only £2,05 in a luxurious West End cinema. :T

Used a £2 Healthy Living voucher on this week's shopping.

#33 current total = £415.56

Wonderful Sugarbaby125! I wonder if it's the same one I've used. There is a cinema on Regent Street towards the St James Park end. Next to a pizza hut. Me and my OH used to have date days when our little boy was at nursery for the day so much cheaper than nights out and he was cared for anyway. Once we went to see a Twilight movie can't think which one and we were the only 2 in the entire screen. It was like having our own private cinema. :T

My sister has given me some stir fry veg, sauce and noodles she got YS from M&S. Not sure of the full price but she paid £1.20, so I will add that if it's ok?:D

I might be popping into Maccys this evening to get a free coffee with my bean voucher, and I can piggyback their free Wi-Fi :T

Of course. Sounds very reasonable. Enjoy your free coffee and WiFi.

Tesco was heaving (half term) plus it was raining so the bargain YS section was a bit of a bun fight. Completely forgot the bread I'd put on my list but did get a leg of lamb that was marked down by £3.40, a luxury bath foam that was a third of it's original price, some half-price ham and some other promotional bargains No self-service till roadkill though...humph...

Also found a pair of rubber-palmed workmens' gloves that the stonemason left behind in the front porch, so have washed those carefully and they've come up as good as new! I need a pair of gloves for cleaning out the chickens (4 eggs today) so these will come in very 'handy'...groan...They are rather big though, so I look a little funny but a great womble. I'll value them at 50p and each egg at 10p.

Total for today with all that added up = £13.25.

What a great bargain on the lamb. That must have been around £10 off surely?
The eggs are a wonderful money saver. Is there any chance that the chickens might do enough so you can do some garden gate sales? Are you near a road at all? Stick out an honor payment box and you are in business

I took the girls to the science museum where we have a family pass, and put our coats in a locker. Just because we were alone in the locker room, I opened the lockers on either side to see if people had removed their deposit. They hadn't! I scored three-in-a-row!

Score! What a great perk.

Hi Bob, I think it's doable! I have a couple of £4 off vouchers from The Orchard in Mr, T and one from Mr. S and about £8 APG which I could use for food in case my budget runs out before the month ends, I am not that worried about the petrol. I have a 6p off per liter coupon so a full tank in my car would be less than £40. Hubby's is still full-ish so if mine runs out I can use his. Luckily we're working in the same site next week so we could car share.

I had another NSD today yay! But I'm gutted with myself because I thought I was late for my sewing class this evening, rushed to get there only to find out we don't have a class this week as it is half term. Wasted petrol but at least I didn't spend on anything else. My colleagues invited me to join them during the morning coffee break but had to politely decline and said I was up to my eyeballs at work, because I knew they would want to go to the coffee shop and I didn't want to lose NSD.

I went to see Deadpool, not my usual choice but I really enjoyed it. The person I went with has an annual pass which they combined with the meerkat movies 2-4-1 so it was free. Well there was a booking fee of 25p but they paid that.

Got bought a coffee at Maccy D's so had that and another bean to boot.
