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.

Littlewoods Clearance bargains via eBay: :T

1. V By Very Chambray Men's shorts £3.99 saved £21.01

2. Reebok Supremium Ladies Black T-shirt £4.99 saved £17.01

3. V By Very Black Ruffle Jumper £7.99 saved £30.01

4. V By Very Black/cream High Neck Striped Jumper £5.99 saved £26.01

5. V By Very Men's Navy Woven Jogger Shorts £4.99 saved £27.01

Plus I saved £15.80 on P & P costs
Plus a £5 discount because I had spent £20 plus
Plus I used an eBay 20% voucher code which saved me another £4.59

Tesco Mid Week Delivery Saver cost me £40 for the year in 2017 but I saved £263 on the price of the individual delivery slots I used ( Tesco delivery drivers deliver to my kitchen which is really helpful as I live in a maisonette and there are so many stairs to negotiate) :T
