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!

Hi LP

Sale buying yes. I always think it's the common sense factor again, if you manage to buy useful wardrobe staples at bargain prices like say black jeans for £10 instead of £50 and you were genuinely needing the jeans and not just buying because they were cheap, then it's a womble.
I think that's the tricky part about the challenge. It's not as simple as saying collect every £2 in your purse for a year. It's about the spirit of something. For me that is always getting something for free or way cheaper than it is sold for usually. Does that make sense?

£9.62 off with BOGOF and other promotions at Mr T this afternoon. Nothing worth having in the YS section though, which was irritating.

Ah well...

I think LuckyPenny beat you to it:rotfl:

Evening all. Work wombles today were left over bread and butter pudding and custard which we'll have for pud tonight and 4 bottles of mulled wine which will be out of date in Feb (does wine even have a use by date? not complaining mind:rotfl:)

Wine was £4 a bottle when bought before christmas so I'm claiming £16 and £1 for the pudding. £17 in all:j:j:j:j:j

How delicious!

Ha no bob I went to Asda so it wasn't me :-)


Picked up a quiche from co-op today, £2.49 reduced to £1.59 90pence saving

Might include some sales in my signature as I got PJs, underwear, work top and work shoes. I very rare pay for anything full price and these items were all needs. I purposefully held off for the sales.

£9.98 in the penny sale at hol and b@retts

Like you, Bob, I am a finder; I won't include discounts in my total (no criticism, it's just how I calculate it).

Something I have wombled, but never thought to count: the free biscuit in the supermarket! I have been twice this year, so I'll count 2x€0,05=€0,10.

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.

Hi CCL it is one of the Olympics ones, there is one currently on ebay for £1.81. Quite collectable. Always good to keep an eye on your change.
