My Thrifty Ways to Save Money

76rosie

I mainly shop in lidl. But I also use shopmium shopitize and check out smart apps.

I now also have to try harder with trymefree.

Also put qmee and shopprize apps on.

I absolutely hate spending more than I have to unless it's on something like a holiday.

Don't really calculate how much I save but hopefully by Christmas 2017 i will see the results..

If that's not an option they go straight to the chazzer.

I have given some to charity shops and given things to my daughter. I always keep what is useful to me first.

I had £12 in Tesco Club card vouchers arrive yesterday. I save these up throughout the year and use them towards the Christmas shopping.

I am a happy bunny walking to the hairdressers I found a pound on the pavement so added 50p to it for the hairdressers tip :)well worth it as she always cuts my hair how I like it

I used my thrifty ways and bought 40 snowmen toilet rolls for £5 and 4 packs of two kitchen rolls from FF over the weekend. Even though they have snowmen on, and may last until this Christmas I will not have to worry about running out of toilet roll.
I have also started buying 500ml in shower gels, when I see them on offer at a £1. As this is normally the price for a 250ml bottle and so saves me money and I do not have to buy the item as often.

I finally managed to get a better interest on my Isa yesterday. I could have updated online but I did not want to run the risk of pressing the wrong button - so I phoned up instead.
So whatever little I manage to save will at least gain a bit more interest than it would have done.
If I had more spare cash I could have had a fixed term, but I need to know I can have access to my money if need be, that is why I only save small amounts that I know I will not have to snatch back for other things.

Remember to check if any of your loyalty cards reward you with a birthday gift.
My birthday was last month. Rewards I have to claim or have claimed are;

Bon Marche £5 voucher
Ikea £5 voucher
Dobbies - Free Scones and a drink

You are my spirit animal. Gifts make me :mad: (unless the gift is wine!)

OH says I'm brutal, but he has that to thank for a clear and tidy cottage.

One thing I enjoy looking out for when shopping is the 'reduced goods', in some shops these are yellowed stickered , but not in all shops. I love to get a treat eg a cake that I would not pay full price for. Some of the items can be frozen. I only ever buy what I can use though.

Remember to look out for all the offers on Christmas Gifts , food items and anything else that can be used for Christmas. Offers seem to disappear before a few weeks before Christmas, and everything returns to full price.

So buy those Christmas bargains now, before the price goes up or the bargain you want runs out.
