£158 now.
Made it to the £20 reward voucher from Shoppix - takes about 400 receipts scanned. I think each receipt scanned earns about 5p (if my maths is right) but I think its worth it - free money.
Another £5 to add soon from HUYU - just two more receipts to scan. And Amazon points almost up to £10 too."Think of many things, do one"

Hi
I've just updated current totals 😊 everyone is doing really well.
I've had a bit of a spendy month which has not been great, not dipped into my Christmas fund but it's knocked my car fund down a bit 😐

I've had a bumper month on Prolific, along with £25 cashback on my M&S credit card so....
#2 reporting in with £348/£365.
I'm putting all my survey and cashback savings into a Nationwide Start-to-Save account and have next month's £50 ready and waiting already!
Just realised that I smashed my target by an extra 73% last year. I'm doing well this year, so will up my 2021 target (pretty please @kdalwayskint) to £638 - so currently £348/£638. Cheers!#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3661
