Remember you're STILL a Womble - 2017 challenge

2 absolutely yummy-yummy-delicious Neuhaus chocolates from Reception 2x€0,50 (The CEO gave his PA a huge heartshaped box of chocolates; I'd say there are about a 100 in there. She very kindly put it on the Reception desk for everyone to enjoy.)

Wombled a rain drenched receipt, dried it gently - forgot to check the date.
D'oh.

Wombled a 9 pointer from Mr T and took back a lightbulb which blew after less than 10 minutes use. Swines!!

Im amazed they'd take that back TBH. Glad for your sake, but how could you prove it was their lightbulb and not your power surging or something like that??

Hi wombles :wave:

Just had to trawl through ten pages of wombling reports to total up January and am amazed and delighted to announce £254.22 :j
Some amazing totals - well done everyone :T

£26.93 saved on YS items yesterday - a huge chunk of which was meat and fish, which went straight into my freezer, thank you very much!

£33.50 saved by pre-booking train tickets for the skids' next visit, but still no roadkill...

£60.43 so far in February.

Had to buy new light bulb this morning but found they were BOGOF. Saved £1.85 plus 5p roadkill.

I saved £23.66 on special offers and reduced price items on this week's Tesco grocery online shopping

#13 current total = £972.96

Not a womble at all, but need to express my astonishment at a potential saving on dog food I've worked out and, well, feel free to skim over my ramble...

Old canned dog food (bulk bought when on offer, but not that often, sadly) usual price £9.75 for 24 x 400g tins. Approx. 41p per tin. 28 tins used weekly = £11.48 p/w

Changed to a cheaper own brand to trial with the mutts as Ridgebacks can be rather fussy. New food greedily accepted. New food is £1.95 for six 400g tins. Approx. 33p a can = £9.24 p/w

Discovered today that this new food is available in a 1.25kg big tin for 85p. I'd use just over nine tins a week, so cost would be £7.93 per week.

Original annual cost was £596.96
New big tin annual cost would be £412.36
Saving = £184.60.

:eek:
This was just one item from my shopping list. I'm flabbergasted.
I hasten to add, my dogs do get mixer biscuits, treats and bones too, so their diet wouldn't be adversely affected by a wet food of "lesser" quality (if, indeed it was - I don't know).

Apologies if you've died of boredom reading this. If you are still alive and kicking, I thank you.
