My Over 50's Spending Diary

3.3K Posts


I have been with MSE a number of years and each year I have become better and better at making sure that I spend my money wisely. I find that recording the savings I am making no matter how small reminds me that if I take care of the pennies the pounds will take care of themselves.

My weekly online grocery shop special offers and price reductions saved me £11.89 and I got a free pot of Naked Noodles with my shopping worth 80p
My Buy It Now offer was accepted on eBay which saved me £5 on the price of a 14ct gold and Diamonique ring
