I found 5p on the way into work this morning - before the street cleaners had been out. So a whopping 6p road kill this year so far :rotfl:

Free coffee in Costalots which was supposed to be free due to points reached but due to a glitch the cs person couldn't get my card to scan so manually override the system. Checked and still have my free coffee points

Excellent! I love the nickname you've given this coffee chain. Quite accurate

Just three eggs today from my hens, so 30p added to my total.

I've found a load of receipts - all dated in the last week with Mr T points on them - the "if you'd used your card you could have earnt X" those things. I don't shop at T's very often but can i do anything with the points?

this is a zero sum game (there's only a certain number of discarded receipts tgo be found) and when more and more people starting wombling there's going to be less and less money to be made from this.

Out of curisity, how much time are you people spendning looking for discareded receipts? I think it's fair to say that £250 a month average is probably the average amongst the highest earnerss, not the average from the entire range of womblers. It's pretty tragic to be honest, considering you can set up an ebay business and spend very little time on it and make yourself an extra couple hundred a month.

Yes, take a few to customer services on the way in, take a few to customer services on the way out if someone else is on the desk, as long as they are within 14 days of the date issued they can be put on your card.

About as long as it takes me to get out of my car, walk across the car park and choose a trolley?

You Gov surveys coming thick and fast, nearly up to £10 already since the £50 payout in February. It really is worth signing up to the Children's Surveys if you have a child between 8 - 15, they usually pay £1.50 - £3.00 per survey for 5 minutes opinion (and don't they have an opinion!!)

Back from Mr T's YS non-frenzy, they did not take the baskets away, they just left a little boy with his scanner and if you took something which had been reduced over to him, he reduced it again for you. He didn't say anything, so some people just took the once reduced things, but if you went over he reduced it again so I have about £20 of fruit and veg for the princely sum of ...... £2.18, I had 1 1/2 bags for life full - and that included 4 x pint glass sized berry pots, lots of salad bags, sugar snap peas, parsnips, huge bag of bananas, stir fry veg bags, a red cabbage and a couple of packs of pitta breads.

So should be a frugal week on the food front, just waiting on the housey negotiations now.............

emm no. You must be kidding yourself. Clearly you don't value your time and have no idea how many hours you're spending looking for pennies.

Even though I’ve not been posting, I’ve been building my Womble totals as follows:
I had loads of John Lewis gift vouchers from work, so wombled a free bed and mattress worth £640
Yellow Stickers £ 5.25
“Price comparison” £4.43
Coupons £1.50
General Reductions £7.96
Price Match £1.50
COSTCO £25.30

Plus £3.25 and 150 points for surveys – which I haven’t claimed, but they’re lurking in the background, along with Nectar points.

No wombled receipts (and not sure I'd be comfortable about 'cashing them in' TBH - but that's me ) or road kill.

But DD gave me £1.91 in coppers for my money box!

Oh – and there’s my weekly bacon roll... £1.20

Making a grand total of £683.80 this past few days.


Doesn't it mount up? :j

Yes take them along to the customer service team and have them added on.
