    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...

    Hiya :)

    There's an On-Line and Off-line Vouchers Board in the main listing.

    on my way...hoooo what fun....
  • I've decided to go for £60 of pin this month.

    Keeping a spreadsheet last month enabled me to see where I'm spending and saving so I think this is achievable. I'm also keeping my budget at £250, I've got DD birthday to accommodate this month so don't want to go too low.

    Day 1, I've spent nothing and gained 6p of copper finds down at the park.

    Doing pretty well all round so far - upped my voluntary excess on my car insurance, and opted to pay for it in one lump sum v. dd - saved £50, which for me is aPMS.

    Saved £10 by using a freebie boots voucher at the w/e, and used £6.33 in coupons at the supermarket yesterday. Mustn't forget the 70ps worth of savings for buying reduced items, making a total of £17.03 vPMS.

    Hi Everyone
    OH has investigated our household insurance and has discovered that the £16 redundancy insurance we've been paying out is now null and void as although he's been made redundant everytime he makes and sells a piece of his miniature furniture it is regarded as a shortterm contract. So that's £16 in the PMS pot - only £4 left to find.
    How do you all keep a running total of stuff like that on your messages? [she asks not being very technically minded]

    Click on User cp in the bar near the top of the page. (Just above the blue bar). There's a list of things on the left hand side - one of which is edit signature... fill it in as required :)

    Decided to join in the fun!!!

    Have no idea what target to aim for - this month it'll have to be virtual PIN money anyway as we have v. expensive month!!!

    So far, £3.33 by using Boots Advantage card to buy some toiletries (I had forgotten about this - still got £5 left on it now!) and BOGOF/multi buys at Tesco saved £3.38!

    August total therefore £6.71!!

    Not bad - this moneysaving lark is becoming addictive! :D
