Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 15

LittleMissDetermined

Nice little win for me this afternoon, I had been to my local Tesco a while ago when the Clubcard system was down so I couldn't collect points or get the clubcard offers...they told me to save my receipt as this could be added on my next visit. 

I must have placed the receipt somewhere safe and then I couldn't find it. Anyhoo, I found it this morning so took it down to the local Tesco, claimed my points and got £2.50 refund from the offers.  I'm sending that to the sealed pot

Hi Potters! I hope you've all enjoyed your week and will now enjoy the WEEKEND!! Save as well as you're able, though I well understand it's not going to be easy for the future, just do your best as any cash you're able to pot will come in handy for whatever you need it for! Take care.

To all those ill or under the weather in any way, take very great care of yourselves and return to SPC as soon as possible. Love and all best wishes.

Thank goodness you managed to find your points receipt for your Tes!o points, LMD. It's good to know that the money owed is now safely in your pot!! Very well done! 🤩

Enjoy your WEEKEND folks. Good health and save as well as you're able.

Good morning everyone!

Sue - a good idea to hold a little back for price rises. 😵‍💫 

Yes, Rutland is home of the bird fair - and recent finds of a HUGE Roman mosaic and a 10m long ichthyosaur. 

A bit of potting done this weekend in the form of sweeps from my bank account (£4 something) and our joint account (£3 something). 

I’ve also discovered that a localish dairy farm processes and delivers their own milk to the doorstep, so I’m going to do some enquiries. This would mean we would save 15p per pint of milk as we currently have it delivered by a national company. Then it also goes straight to the local economy and a fair price is paid to the farmer.

That’s a good potential saving with the milk @VickyA_2
As well as keeping it local it’s one small way to fight back against all the increases in the cost of living we’re currently seeing.
I’m still managing to keep steadily potting.
Have a good week everyone.

Hi Vicky, wow, I hadn't heard about Rutland having had finds of Roman Mosaics as well as a 10cm long Icthyosaur!! 😯 

Very well done with your sweeping, not bad at all!

Amazing to find the local dairy farm! Fantastic if you were able to save the difference in the price of those per year as against the 15p per pint extra you've forked out!! Think of that over the course of a year!!! 😳 That would be a great way to gain what you spend on price rises! Excellent Vicky, I'm determined to save in every way T & I can to help out ! 😃

Hi Ant, so good to hear your keeping up the steady potting!

I'm so chuffed Vicky discovered her far cheaper and - closer dairy farm, what a price difference! Less traveling too!!

Enjoy Monday and the week ahead, folks. Good health to you all.

Morning Potters

Lovely to hear about Vicky supporting her local dairy farm.  We are fortunate enough to have a milk vending machine in our village which is supplied by a farm just half a mile away.  The milk is absolutely delicious, albeit full cream so not so good for your waistline!  We have reusable glass bottles and fill up whenever we need to.  It's an amazing idea as sadly we have not had a milkman in this area for at least 15 years.

Life is flying by at the moment, I can't believe we are into March already.  We are preparing to go on holiday for my birthday later this month and very much looking forward to it then when we return the lighter nights will be upon us   Time to start thinking about the garden then!

Another fiver in the pot this week.  Enjoy the weekend folks xx

£4.78 cashback added to the pot as well as a few coppers here and there over the last couple of weeks after doing actual physical shopping for forgotten items

Hoping everyone is ok and coping with the price rises and horrendous news coverage right now.  Some of my change has found it's way into the collecting bucket at the supermarket.  It feels like the world has gone mad

Hi Siju, it's good to hear you also have a farmer who supplies milk, so much better to have milk and not have to buy it in plastic bottles, I wish we could all go back to glass rather than plastic! We have a vending machine nearby, but neither of us likes full cream milk, such a shame.

Whilst you're away, be sure to enjoy your Birthday as well as your holiday. My birthday was nearer the beginning!

I really look forward to getting the garden ready for summer.

Very good saving, and have a lovely weekend!

Hi little_sweetie, really good potting! 

Isn't it terrible what's going on in the Ukraine, the things those poor folk have gone through...for nothing!! 😡

I'm afraid for us all, it's a case of having to put up with the price hikes!! We bought some kitchen towels earlier this year, the price before the weekend was almost £2, when the delivery came they were £7!!! 😳 Totally disgraceful!!

You're right A, the world has gone mad!!  Have a lovely weekend.

Another transfer to the SPC account of £10!!

Enjoy a great WEEKEND, folks, tomorrow too. Good health to you all.

Save as well as you're able, folks, though I quite understand it's not going to be easy for the future, just do your best as any cash you're able to pot will come in handy for whatever you need it for!

Not potted anything ☹️  Lots of spending though; it’s the boys 9th birthday today so had fish and chips for tea and I made a panda cake.  Even though he had an animal encounter day at the local wildlife park as a birthday treat I’ve just booked for us to go to Beamish open air museum on Saturday.  I’ve not been for years and years but it’s one of those attractions that you pay once and can go all year.  Also they are having a science weekend this weekend and he loves science.  Also spent some pennies on stuff to get the allotment going.  We found 1p when we were digging the other day but Alex claimed it!

I had a lovely day out at Rutland Water last summer Vicky, fortunately the Ichthyosaur was asleep that day😅
I have potted £8.00 today, which includes a £5 note that the self service machine rejected about 3 times lol😅 Actually I hope it isn't a fake, I think it was just a bit old and creased (like most of us are feeling at the moment with all the price rises lol😬)
Have a lovely weekend all x
