Wow Miss Empty Piggy what a great buy through Gumtree for the tall fridge you bought
This week's Online Grocery Shopping Savings through price reductions and special offers £20.48
Body Shop Order:
I did a shop for £25 of goods and used my £5 Love Your Body voucher to reduce my bill to £20. I got free delivery worth £2.49 and I also got a free gift worth £20 (I also got double points on this order which meant I will get 400 points worth £4, but I will count these points when I am spending them) :T
I got a tax refund of £800.18 yesterday :j :T

Well done Miss Empty Piggy and great news on the tax refund Sugarbaby. I've been indoors for the last few days - partly due to son having had wisdom teeth removed but found 15p whilst tidying up communal back area today. Well, if no one else will see to it!
Had nice surprise - my son bought me a rice/slow cooker. Won't claim anything as it was a present but what a nice thought.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
Colour me stunned. I've had a few packets through the post & the stamps weren't always franked - so I slung them in a heap To Get Around To recovering the stamps from. (We have a handsome supply of isopropyl alcohol, so as long as we're tender with the stamps, they're recoverable.)
Today my husband finished a batch & stuck them on suitable envelopes & we now have £15.87's worth of stamps on envelopes ready to go!
Just awed.
But wow - Miss Empty Piggy - Well Done! And likewise gosh, sugarbaby! Rousing congratulations!0 -
Out feeding the ducks at ladybower reservoir found a 5p0

So, not much wombling to report...
I did get £25 in clubcard vouchers, which I have used to buy my daughter some school dresses.
I had cashback offer for milk which I will pick up today, worth £1.20..
Building & contents insurance was up for renewal and managed to save £14!!! a month (it's now less than half of what it was) for better cover. Also earned £20 cashback by using a cashback site.
I think that's it for the last couple of days but am out shopping today so will keep my eyes peeled for roadkill as I haven't found anything for the last couple of days.
Happy wombling this weekend fellow Wombles.0 -
