Hi all,

So far I've done my piggy clicks but am currently on holiday in New York so hardly money saving. Can't believe everything is so expensive and can't even find a supermarket. :mad:

Have brought cheap trainers though. :T

Managed to use a coupon from a free paper to get 15% off a handbag at Macy's in Harrisburg (also only paid 6% tax instead of 8%?) when we went to visit DH friend/family.

Went to the Visitors centre in both Macys and Bloomingdales to get the 11% discount coupon and used it on more goodies. :T Of course had to spend over $100 in Bloomingdales to get a free keyring which can be brought for $35. :eek:

Might see if I can buy a couple of items as either presents or Ebay them.

Will get hotel taxi on Friday to save shelling out $50 on a taxi fare to airport.

Planning to ebay at least a couple of items at the weekend to recoup maybe a few pounds.

Might suggest going to Wendy's tonight for dinner as we've been forking out on $50-$70 for dinner every night not to mention breakfast, lunch and expensive bottled water.

Can't wait to get back home and back to my thrifty ways.

Evening all....just popping on before a double bill of Heroes!

Today I have:

* Got a lift home from work
* Took HM lunch to work
* Paid a cheque instead of cash for £390 which should mean I won't have to go overdrawn now by much at the end of the month/start of October as incoming money will clear before cheque clears......phew!
* QuidCo searches & piggy comps
* Ordered two things via QuidCo & the cash back has tracked already
* Just put on some washing to get cheaper electric & will dry them overnight - a very clear & windy night in store for us apparently
* I have a bid on one item on EBAY and watchers on another 2 items
* Checked online banking & updated spreadsheet

Cycled to and from work today, therefore saving £2. Posted two items that I'd sold on Amazon, came home to find that another 3 things had sold, so £15 for some things in the spare room that were going to get thrown out!

Also, sat and worked out what I'm saving now I work closer to home and don't have to commute.......ahem, £197 per month!
