    £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.

  • 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 😐

    Catch you all soon x

    Am exactly half-way to my target today.  Had to check the countdown, only 5 months in, so not yet at the half-way mark. :smile:

    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!
