    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Wow everyone has been doing so well! Thanks for the YTDs will get them updated.

    My son was delighted yesterday to discover a vending machine with a packet of crisps half out of its clip holder. He paid for a pack and of course got two.

    I cashed in £20 worth of nectar points today to buy some equipment for the business so that was a good saving.

    I've had fabulous news I've won £500 in a competition!! I've spent it in my mind a zillion times over!

    I've been to the cinema today and done lots of wombling!
    I bought reduced price tickets through a work site online, saving £7.20, we parked in a shopping centre across the road rather than the cinema's saving £1.50, whilst we were there I sneaked in water (from a market research) a skinny popcorn (on a diet) saving me £5. I then got a 75p shampoo from Boots and got 75 points hence making it Free!! (have have the boots app and needed to accept the offer beforehand).

    Pretty chuffed today!! £514.45!!

    Saved 8.04 feeding ravenous teenagers at McDs thanks both to vouchers in the Metro & the sweet child on the till who said "keep the vouchers", so there is more yet to save!
    I've also got a very similar promotion from Burger King for the same sort of thing so rewarding exam candidates has become a sight more affordable, if still poor form.
