NSD 4/16
Was going to buy a Martin Lewis money saving book, but decided to save my £££ and send a request "to stock" email to library service. Also ordered another money saving book for FREE from library.
Am sure Martin Lewis doesn't need the book royalties LOL- Grocery Challenge: April £263.60 / £250

I agree, it does seem rather a pointless and ironic purchase if you are trying to save money. The local library has all sorts for free and if people don't use the local library the service gets cut or closed down to save fundsQueenJess said:

The other one I find odd is minimalist websites that then encourage you to buy a bookSallyp2 said:

I ❤️the library, but our local one is tiny and has been shut for the whole pandemic
I don't think it will open anytime soon as when I checked online for when my books are due back, they have been automatically extended to 2022! 2025 decluttering: 5,378 🌟🥉🌟💐🏅🏅🌟🥈🏅🌟🏅💐💎🌟🏅🏆🌟🏅🌟🌟2025 use up challenge: 473🥉🥈🥇💎🏆Big kitchen declutter challenge 139/1502025 decluttering goals I Use up Challenge: 🥉365 🥈750 🥇1,000 💎2,000 🏆 3,000 👑 8,000 I 🥉12 🥈26 🥇52 💎 100 🏆 250 👑 5003
