    A tiny weenie 6p Womble today of roadkill. And not exactly a financial Womble but I found one of those charity clothing plastic sacks in its bag on the way home so I picked it up as I use them for free bin bags. Tip passed on by Foxgloves

    Free Evening Standard and Metro newspapers for which will claim £1

    Saved another £3 on 2 bus journeys today

    Hi Bob, M0rris0ns do a scheme where you can't select to have your online food shopping without bags but instead if you collect your bags and keep them safe then when you next have a shop just hand them back to the driver and they deduct the money from your new shop.

    Yesterday I had a small womble of four eggs from the girls, which I'm keeping for our use = 40p, but I did sell a dozen, for which I'm claiming £2.

    Lots of people asking about my yummy eggs, but with the DEFRA ruling over the current bird flu scare, my ladies are inside, so production has dropped :(

    I saved £19.02 on my Tesco online grocery shop through various offers and price reductions :D

    I got a 50p Brand Match refund on the same shop

    I got a £2 e-coupon to use on my next shop as a goodwill gesture from Tesco as last week I handed back a wholemeal bread that had been substituted for the Finest wholemeal I had ordered and did not receive the 50p refund, so I gained £1.50 :D

    #13 current total = £240.91
