    I brought a bagel into work for lunch which was from a half-price pack I bought in Sainsburys - lunch cost about 13p!
    Printed off a free movie voucher for tomorrow evening;
    Ebay listing night tonight.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • I have done the piggy clicks and checked for any surveys (none) Am having a day off as I was called in to work yesterday. Get paid more for Sundays.
    Checked the freebies board and grabbit.
    |Had to spend £4.55 on verrucca gel. Now where did that come from. I haven't been swimming and the kids haven't got them.
    Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination:beer:

  • Forgot to do the shopping yesterday so I searched the cupboard this morning for a tin soup & some crackers for lunch today - saved £5 on lunch ?
    Done my Quidco clicks
    Will do my Pigsback clicks in the next hour or so

    Annoyed with myself as I got up late and wasn't organised for my first day back. I had to buy a cup of tea for 50p instead of bringing in milk. However, I didn't go to the other cafe where it would have be 85p. - kind of moneysaving??

    I will only be able to do piggyclicks today and it won't be a NSD as I need a new memory stick for work (about £70 :( )

    Sorry you have had a bad first day back at work Jamtart.
    Hope everyone else is having a good day, especially if its the first day back after xmas hols:D

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Hi,

    Glad you can go back to work sophiesmum. Make the most of your time off in the meantime! ;)

    I went to Glasgow today. Didn't get many bargains and couldn't browse in my favourite shops but I did get:

    M&S

    4 X different rolls of X'mas wrapping paper for 50p each. Had a sign up saying 50p but till was still scanning them at £1 but the sales assistant changed the price for me after I told him. Two of the rolls were fairly plain so could be used for birthday/ special events wrapping paper. Original price £3.50 each.

    2 x pillow cases £1 each. I got 2 of the same design last week reduced to £1.50 each but as they are decent quality should last me for years. Original price £3.50 each.

    1 x pk of 10 wedding invitation cards where you can decorate it yourself (various heart, flower embelishments - I think that's what they are called) and print the inside to suit. I'm just going to use them to make wedding/birthday cards. Original price £7.50.

    They still had xmas cards reduced to £1 (not cheap enough for me), pk of 10 it's a boy/girl announcement cards at 25p, X'mas tree bobbles and X'mas tree bobbles with 4 chocolates at 50p each. This was at the Sauchihall branch.

    TK Maxx

    1 x pair of Miss Viva jeans reduced to £7 (never heard of the brand but I love their designs)

    Primark

    1 x set of extra wide long length curtains for living room or master bedroom. £25. Not reduced but a good price.

    As usual they had lots of stuff at dirt cheap prices but I can honestly say I don't own 1 piece of clothing from there. Shock horror.

    I did pop into Sainsbury's Central but apart from a few 1/2 price items and 1/2 price jewelery/ x'mas jewelery I couldn't see anything. Not worth going to IMO.

    I swapped 5 of my worn Tesco bags for life for new ones and also found a couple of receipts with points.

    Did my piggy click.

    Got a couple of nice blank birthday cards at parents house (trying to persuade me to joing some club)
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)
  • Everyone's days sound very DFW, well done!!

    Today, I have:

    Gone for a walk (relaxing and free) instead of going skiing.

    And I'm going to:
    Make myself a coffee and tidy my room
    And
    Borrow a digital camera and a gorgeous friend to model some clothes for selling on eBay.
