Wombling in restrictive times (2021)

Siebrie

Very sturdy 25L plastic box for glass recycling, from the council, after I complained about 5 of my plastic containers (buckets, etc) being broken after monthly glass collection; €5.

Siebrie

N1vea shower gel, free after rebate (€4.99 - €0.72 (stamp)): €4.27.

Pan from my parents when they switched from a gas hob to induction cooking: €5 (Just the one pan, although they offered about 10. It's a small black enamel pan, which my Mum always used to make meatballs in.)

Siebrie

Free with voucher: small bottle of ice-tea €1,05.

Siebrie

nutri-boost (5% discount on 'healthy' items - I don't quite believe it, because it gave me 5% discount on chocolate mousse....) €0,56.

I have a standing agreement with my elderly neighbour that I can harvest from his 3 rhubarb plants, and last night I finally got round to it: 2kgs = €13,98 (aaargh! rhubarb prices are insane!)

Siebrie

€3,79 in loyalty points for buying supermarket brand nutspread. I will give it to my parents, because I can't have the almonds it contains.

Siebrie

€1 win on scratch cards my husband received as birthday gift from his employer. I scratched the cards and pocketed the 'profits'.

Picked up a stranded trolley in the street and walked back to the supermarket to recover the pound coin.  Now this was an old style "round-pound" so it went in the pile with the few other bits of foreign coinage from the Coinstar.   For the first time this year I was going past a working FourEx machine so I chucked it all in £1 (old) plus €0.03 and $0.10  Even with the commission I expected about a pound back...  the machine decided the "round-pound" was a New Zealand dollar*  so I got 36p back instead.

* Comparing the two designs - I can see how it might have happened with image recognition:

Siebrie

1 bag-for-life and a bath bomb free with purchase (I think the shop just wanted to get rid of old merchandise) €2

€20 worth loyalty points to pay for holiday books for dds.

First Coinstar success in ages.  2p, 2 cents and 7 Eurocents.  Time to start a new pile.

Things are picking up... yesterday's haul was  10 Eurocents, 10 pesetas (obsolete), 200 So'm from Uzbekistan (worth 1.3 p!) and something I can't identify. Largish silver colour coin with Arabic writing; front has a goddess figure and the value 1; back has a profile of a chap who looks vaguely like Stalin and the date 1976. Worn down so no luck in matching to Wikipedia images.
