    Hello wombles :wave:

    Did my first big supermarket shop today, with the small ones in tow (what was I thinking!?! :eek:)

    YS bargains saving me £4.25, promotions and brand match reductions of £7.96 and I used a £6 off coupon, so total is a satisfying £18.21.

    Happy :D

    And I'm off the mark. £3 amazon from RH and £10.80 from OpinionBar

    Not a womble for us, but we gave a bag of oranges to a homeless man who came up to us as we left the shop asking for money for food.

    OH has given me a stack of receipts which will hopefully go on RH
