    Happened to be in Mr S at closing time, so bagged some cream cakes and oranges with YS, saving £1.75 and used £15 of my Nectar points towards the rest of my shopping.

    I was rather annoyed the till not wanting to accept my Tesco Clubcard though :rotfl: - too many cards gets confuddling for my little brain.

    £16.75 wombling for today!

    Hi
    I bought two YS things yesterday:
    - a new lunchbox £5 reduced to £1.50. It's the exact brand and type I wS looking for so £3.50 savings is great.
    - bought cakes £1 reduced to 50 pence, great for my DD and DH who are Chocolate mad!
    Total of £4 so will add this to my total...

    LP x

    It's really nice when you get something reduced that is already on your list isn't it :T

    Found a 5 point tesco receipt. It's not much but it's points.

    My partner got some free pallets from gumtree, and made a work bench. :)

    Great to have a handy partner around :D

    Just got round to totalling up my YS wombles from last night - another £11.50 added to the signature :j

    Well done Cat that cheesecake sounded fab:T

    Some people are just so wasteful but well done on recycling what was a perfectly functioning carpet.



    Welcome and enjoy searching for all the wombles.

    Lots of YS bargains this week in Supermarket OH is especially happy by the large racks of ribs that cost 25p each, it breaks up the salmon and lamb mountain I sourced earlier in the month lol

    Total Wombles to date £89.08

    Yum to your food mountains!:T
