    Today I got a 500ml handwash for 30p at T3sc0, 3 for 2 on vitamins, saving £5.50, found 5 cents on the floor (which is handier than it sounds as we are off to France next month and I will add it to my pot of Euros / euro coins) and one receipt with unclaimed points on it.

    Not a bad haul for one trip :j
