    Used a TCB offer to get a Christmas gift

    Entered some competitions, time for the Fortnums and other hampers to start rolling in 🙄😁

    Cleaning at mums
    So achey

    Ten minute walk to see if I was up to the longer walk to get dinner in. I was not. Mr PIP went and returned with a YS mac cheese which is very pleasing

    McMo ends after tomorrow so he's also downloaded the deals that we might plausibly use (10% off train tickets, free Moonpig cards)

    Hoping everyone has a restful Sunday evening x

    I went to McDonald’s with 3 “tokens” that end tomorrow, that I have had in my purse for a couple of weeks, only to find 2 of them have already been used. Think some cheeky monkey (DS3) used them on his app before I put them in the purse. Checked on my app and I had enough points for a free medium fries, so ended up with 6 nuggets and fries. Not bad as it was free.xx

  • I ended up paying for a breakfast roll and tea the last time I went in to use my token. Not the best.

    I will confess I’ve never had macaroni cheese ever in my life - I know shock horror 🤣

    😮. I love it. Farm foods do an excellent Cajun chicken macaroni cheese, which I know is no good for you SA, but delicious 😋 I grew up thinking it always tasted like the tinned macaroni cheese of my childhood (disgusting), so it was quite an eye opener having the good stuff with proper cheese.

  • Very mse of you (and DS3 😁) @amber03

    Ha that's how they get you @WelshmansDaughter, never go shopping or McMoing when peckish! I literally never buy Maccas so fortunately I'm too intimidated by their ordering machines to be tempted when I go in to claim free fruit bags 😂

    I've re-read that several times @Sun_Addict and nope, just not comprehending. It looks like you said you've never had mac cheese but nope, sorry, brain cannot process

    (I quite like cheapo tinned macaroni cheese @WinterWarrior *runs away in disgrace*)
  • Late in catching up (always think you on the MFW forum). so sorry for your loss(es).

    I also had some cash as inheritance  and whilst most of it went on living etc I did buy a beautiful  instrument that I still have - always a lovely reminder

    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
