I joined this site on 7th January 2008 and was thinking this morning what influences it has had on me over the last 3 weeks
I joined the lunch log challenge and have saved myself £100
I worked out if I bought my petrol when I visited my sister in a different town it saves me 5p a litre, which adds up to a staggering £104.00 a year so this month saved £8
I got inspired by the hamper thread, I have purchased all my boxes and baskets for this year with a number of them marked down from £4.00 to 50p so saved £28
I also bought my wrapping paper for Christmas 2008 marked down from £3 to 30p, 10 rolls saved me £27
Bought a kettle for £4.50 that was mentioned on the Grabbit board and also a camera from Argos at £46
Used advice from the “Boots” thread to gain advantage points and grab myself some bargains mostly for my hampers
I joined the sealed pot challenge but can’t open that until December
I am saving my £2 coins with the £2 savers club, total £100
I am saving a £1 a day for 2008 and will total £31 by the end of the month
Entered a few comps but no wins so far
Purchased enough cellophane wrap to last me 2 years!
So far received £292 from one of my credit cards
And finally completed hampers for
Mothers day
21st birthday
40th Birthday
Baby basket
Easter baskets
And all birthdays until July
All this in 3 weeks!!!
Roll on February, I am so addicted to all this money saving:T

Well Done!
Just don't stay in the Arms for too long as you get trapped and hardly ever venture back up again.

Don't forget to peg out your teabags on the clothes line and reuse.

I think we all owe this site something. All depends on how far your willing to go. Personally i would draw the line at going to prision to get free food, bed and clothes.
Hi there! We’ve had to remove your signature. It was so good we removed it because we cannot think of one so good as you had and need to protect others from seeing such a great signature.0 -
