August Pin Money Savings Challenge

squeaky

Just a reminder that I'll be unsticking this thread some time later today - by which time it'll be the featured Pin Money Challenge in our Monthly Challenges sticky.

You can find it in our "Challenges" sticky at the top of the forum listing, or you can follow the clue in my signature any time you see it or...

..you can use the Monthly Challenges link in the Blue Bar at the top of every page which looks something like this:-

got to aim for £30 from my vouchers this month
my virtual will be harder as I did well with loyalty bonus last month but still it's meant to be a challenge so £45

Hooray!

I emailed Ecover last night to get them to tell me which laundry stuff would be better to wash my nappies (well, not mine :eek: my kids') and have had an email back today to say which one (biological, surprisingly) and that they're mailing me some vouchers to try them - :T :T

Also, e had some Nivea vouchers in the race for life goodybags. Only valid on specific products at Tesco, but I thought I might buy their moisturising cream as part of my sister's birthday gift. I'm right that ASDA won't take Tesco product specific vouchers, aren't I? Not spending anything today - apart from posting christening invites - so won't be making any savings ... I lost my cashcard yesterday and cancelled it, so that means I won't be spending much at all until the new card comes. Should lose my card more often :rotfl:

good start here too - I've just been and bought toothpaste on a bogof, so that should last us for a while ... and got my dd's bounty pack, which had 80p of vouchers plus food and things ... and I've just registered with a couple of the companies about babycare too so hopefully they should come good.

I like this pin thing ... could get addictive, I fear!

I love Tescos
Money off vouchers accepted £10.80 and the lovely girl even entered one I'd printed off the internet manually because it wouldn't scan
overpriced on cheese and refunded £5.06 :j
What a start to August

Only just joined u on saturday which is a shame as I got paid the day before and now am well into that overdraft... Spent saturday following all martins tips.. have applyed for Virgin credit card at 0% to transfer my balance to and have got a sainsburys card for 0% on purchases.. I applyed for a new bank acc. with A & L for the free travel insurance and overdraft and have registered with 18866 for the home phone.. spoke to vodafone re my 200.00 per month bills and have changed my package which they say should save me about 130.00 a month!!! not a bad start.. so think I will have to wait untill next month for this one as I have not done a buget yet and I also have a car loan I am paying through the nose through for 11,000 which I need to get sorted and then the water, gas and electric bill... and I can not wait!!

Can anyone tell me where you are getting all your vouchers from for the supermarket?? Is there somewhere on the site that tells you where you get them from.. have had a look but can not see it...
