    Excellent thread!

    You know you're a DFW'er when:-

    You've stayed up all night on here and read through this whole thread so as not to miss anything!

    Try to never buy Morrisons milk at £1.53 for 2.25ltrs when St Ives 4 pints is £1.00 (53p more for just 0.25ltr! Scandalous!).

    Always check price per 100g/item for best value.

    Some things I won't compromise on though (not yet anyway), must have Nescafe coffee and will not do a number 2 at work to save toilet roll!

    That's all I can think of atm.

    Oh lol I was in Morrisons on Saturday teaching my 10 year old daughter to check out the price per 100g/item for best value becuse we can't compromise on heinz ketchup and then I caught her showing her sister :rotfl:

  • .. when you have a small sticker on your credit/debit card(s) saying "DFW" to remind yourself :o Anyone else do this?

    When you actually look forward to receiving your credit card statements!

    I wonder if I am saving any petrol by parking 50yards away from my house because of the snow? - well, it's 700yds less I've had to drive over the last 7 days!

    Poo

    P.S. I have recently found out that if I pay £20 off my debt now it will save me £75 of interest over the life of the debt! Therefore, every £20 I recieve from surveys and clicks etc will be worth so much more in my eyes till my debt is gone! Yay!
