    75p for returning my shopping bags to the M0rris0ns delivery driver

    Oh I didn't know they did that. Mr S doesn't. Although it is 40p cheaper if you select the no bag option for delivery.

    4 x instore bakery loaves of bread at 19p each instead of £1.20 saving me £4.04

    Started tidying the house in anticipation of being foot-loose and children-free tomorrow had a floorkill total of £3.20 - bizarrely, it was on the stairs when I was hoovering. Into the pig it goes, squee!

    Great to save on a loaf, especially when the mark up is bonkers.

    Saved £7.15 on various YS foodstuffs in Iceland (stewing beef, chicken wings and fish fingers). Will make quite a few meals for us.

    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

    Brave lady taking the little ones!

    My first womble is savings on a grocery shop of £2.98

    Well done Jellie:T
    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

    Kind of you, hope he appreciated it. And well done on the reciepts.
