    1 cent roadkill

    1 pair of horse riding boots for dd1. I asked the instructor how she rated a certain brand, and she said she had a few spares in the gear shed. We tried on for best size, and now dd has a secondhand pair for free, which we'll return to the instructor as soon as dd stops riding, or grows out of them. I'll claim €10.

    Well what a grey day it is in London town. Been raining for hours. Not much chance of a womble today :)

    Or is there? My son was given a Wubble Bubble ball for Christmas which is like a huge balloon. They are supposed to be fairly resilient but his popped within 1 day. However due to their policy of giving a new one if you have your receipt we have a new one coming to us. Total saving £20 on a new ball.

    Some interesting wombles today! Riding boots one is particularly impressive as I know how much they cost, having a SD who is horse-mad.

    Just a small multi-buy discount of £1.20 to report, plus 3 eggs so far today = 30p. Total is a respectable £1.50.

    Road kill 4p, would have been 9p but there were a group of builders next to the 5p and I didn't want to bend over in front of them.

    Wombled 10 packs of 50p crumpets down to 13p each £3.70 and £5.00 off half price Innocent smoothies x 4 for lunchboxes. £2.50 off 4 bunches of basil ( reduced down to 19p) so it is pesto pasta on the menu again this week, with 2 x packs of baby tomatoes( to be roasted with garlic and herbs ) reduced down to 19 p saving £1.00 and six loaves of bread down to 9p each !!! Freezer now nicely filling up. Saving £6.66.

  • I wombled a 50p off my classroom floor today. It has hockey players on it and I've never seen anything like it to be honest.

    Thanks Bob, I won't include the Market Research - I have earned it. What about if I buy clothes etc. in the sales? What about eBay and Facebook sales?


    So I've had a really good start to my wombling;
    I found 2 pence on the floor
    I went to Asda and got the follow YS purchases:
    Bread £1.25 reduced to £0.67 saving £0.58 pence
    Pancakes £0.50 reduced to £0.22 pence saving £0.28 pence
    Pizza £3.50 reduced to £2.69 saving £0.81 pence
    Asda curry box £9 reduced to £4.79 saving £4.21

    Grand Total Saving £5.88

    This is addictive just need to consider each time whether I am going to actually eat the food I buy YS!


    Total saving thus far is £18.32 - just need to make my signature say that!
