Loadsa - bits and pieces is what it's all about! Good luck

Have almost made my increased aPMS target this month already!!!!!! Hooray!!!! This was with a huge 42.60 Mystery Shopping boost, and payment of £5.30 from a couple of online surveys that I’d almost forgotten about. And must remember at least a 50p saving from making a birthday card.

“Cashing in” boots advantage card points had allowed me to add £14.56 to my vPMS, plus we’ve used couponage of £3.20 this week.

So: aPMS: £99.12
vPMS: approx. £71.74

I’m so happy about this! Will be even happier if I go on to find the grocery overspend money!

Thanks omega for using the word "couponage" ! My kids laugh at me when I use it, because they say it isn't a proper word.

Couponage rocks!

Virtual PIN money this week (due to BOGOFs, Coupon for £15) is £19.22.

Grand total this month therefore £67.44!!

Am going on holiday soon until start of September, so won't be noting any more in August. However, am v. pleased with Augusts' money. Will aim for £40 Virtual PIN money next month!!!

im going to try and join in with this next month.... i keep rereading the instructions and think ive finally got it lol but tye target i choose is it a target for just this month or can i carry it over to next month too??

i need to save for a course i want to do which starts in october so should i set the full amount as my target or just start small??

I've also invested in one of them money boxes which you can only open with a tin opener so im not tempted to dip back into it....once its in there its staying in there! lol

i'm not usually one for keeping receipts either so that in intself will be a challenge! it's definately going to help tho i believe!

Hiya. You can start any way you like - but small is easier

You could start keeping receipts now too, just to get into practice ready for the big day.

i'm having a bit of a bash at this this month, although not officially just in training i guess. i've kept a note of vouchers used etc, and multibuy savings on things i'd normally use anyway, to try and get a feel for the best way to start in september.

Mine went right out the winda this month. I'm using up spare time putting my computer back together (in terms of software and data) so PIN tracking is way down the list. And I started out so WELL
