  • Haven't been on this thread before, but hey its great!!

    Right I -

    - Took bread back to Tesco as it was mouldy - got new loaf (saved £1.23)
    - Bought cat's flea drops online and saved a massive £30 (cost me £30 mind, but had twice as much for the same money)
    - Went on school run in friend's car and then walked home
    - Finished off leftovers from last night's tea
    - Turned heating off BEFORE I went out
    - Bought loads of reduced stuff in Tesco and put in freezer for DD's lunch box

    I think that's about it, more than I realised - before reading everybody's elses postings, thought I hadn't done anything!!!

    Today I've brought packed lunch to work, saving me £3-5 on lunch from one of the shops in town.
    I've left my purse at home so cannot spend any money!
    I am charging my phone at work.

    I'll do my clicks later this morning.

    Cat.x

    :p I do the mobile phoning charging at work as well! Funny how we schedule our lives around saving money!
    Smile more often, it's FREE :hello: Live on £4000 for a year stalker! :p
  • Hi, I just registered yesterday and this is my first post. I'm not very computor literate so I don't even know if I'm doing this right. I've been lurking? about for a while before plucking up the courage to join in. I've been seriously moneysaving for a couple of months now and find everything on this site fantastic. If only I'd know this stuff before!
    My best bit today was getting whoops's at Asda on the way home from work tonight- 3 x packs of bread rolls -4p each
    3 x packs of crumpets -8p each
    2 x packs of potato cakes - 4p each.
    1 x pack of croissants - 9p
    They will all be going in the freezer. I was almost jumping with joy at my bargains.
    Thanks to Sophiesmum for her thoughts.
