August Pin Money Savings Challenge
Comments
-
Well off for a week on holiday tomorrow so I'm going to end this month now and start again when I return
So pin from money off vouchers and Tescos overpricing = £39.11
My "virtual pin" from loyalty points etc £33
Feel quite pleased with myself :j
Haven't felt the need to treat me or the kids to anything out of this so I shall put it away into my savings account
Unfortunately my £6 off when you spend £30 vouchers have now been used so next month may not be quite so lucrative - still that just makes it more of a challenge!0 -
Yah, I have gone on to find the grocery challenge overspend, by cancelling payment protection on a loan (although this is a regular saving, only going to count this once). Spending £10 worth of freebie vouchers, and £9.40 worth of Boots Adv Points has also boosted vPMS.
So August PIN totals are:
aPMS: £121.12
vPMS: approx. £91.140
