Remember you're STILL a Womble - 2017 challenge

Florence_J

I have just had a very successful wombling adventure to the shops.

Went to Card Factory to do my annual 'Stocking up on Christmas gear'

6 rolls of wrapping paper for £1 (previously 3 for £1) Saving £1

2 x 3 pack of wrapping paper for £1.98 (previously £1.99 each) Saving £2

Pack of 50 Christmas cards for 99p (previously £1.99) saving £1

Then in the till at Mr T's there was a receipt with 6 clubcard points on it and a 5p in the change drawer (till kill?)

Total £4.05 (won't count the receipt until I cash it in)

System

I'd like to join in again this year please

Wow Foxy! Balley good start girl!!!

I'm also out of the trap with train ticket savings for two skid journeys in January bought in advance with a friends and family discount card totalling £75.70. So glad I got this card when it was a Tesco Clubcard deal. I didn't count these savings last year, but feel like I can/should as the skids make this journey to us twice a month at least.

Happy New Year to all my fellow wombles xxx

Hello
I'd like to join again this year, last years total was up to £141.25 before i stopped/forgot to track the amount, but still continued YS hunting - i can't walk past reduced food if i know it is going to be something i will eat/use. A few months ago there was an entire pallet load of T cherry tomatoes at 5p a pack - i picked up 19 packs to freeze in place of the tinned alternative!

This year i am going to use the price of the item i would normally buy against the reduction price, as most of the time i wouldn't have bought the original, non YS item in the first place!

Unfortunately, our second freezer died this year and we lost the entire contents :mad: (in a rental property with no replacement clause), so i have to be a bit more restrained on picking up bargains, and eating through the stores this year!

Had to go and buy some eggs to make Yorkshire puds, cos somebody used the last and forgot to tell me there were none left. Anyway in local corner shop the box of eggs where today's sell by date and had been reduced by 40p. So my starting total is 40p.xx

Shop assistant charged me £1.75 instead of £2.29 as my mince would not scan. Saving 54p
2 quiches brought for NY celebrations by my sister £3 each = £6
Meatballs also brought by sis = £1
Bottle of mulled wine brought by mum £3
Pack of 4 beers brought by other sis = £2.50

Total today is 13.04 yippee.
Happy New Wombling year everyone xxx

Out of the starting block for me with 25 Mr T Clubcard points for filling in their survey. I've also added a reminder to Google Calendar at the start of each month as I often forgot which month I had or hadn't done the survey in, should be easier this way! Now I just need to remember to hang on to a receipt towards the end of each month XD

Total: £0.25

What a good idea.:T
