    Damn, got a voucher in the post today for double nectar points and need to use it by 16/3. It's valid for a shop over £10 so luckily I don't need to spend too much ! Don't you just hate it when that happens :eek: !

    Got a bit left in this month's budget so off to Sainsbury's tonight to see if I can pick up some bargains :j

  • Hi I am at the adding up receipts stage during March and am using cash and not cards as I think it will be easier to take control ... I will be asking to join the challenge in April but will be visiting this thread regularly - good luck everyone - I am following your examples

  • Just bought some (second hand) furniture today for £50 and used some of the money I have saved from doing the grocery challenge (unofficially and officially) so far, so I feel like I got it for free. :T
    It's also spured me on to try even harder........hmmmm wonder how much farther I can water down the milk before they notice:o

    Well, I went to Sainsburys armed with my double points for a £10 spend or more voucher ......... and I only spent £8.94 :mad: ! I was sure I'd bought over £10 worth ! I got all flustered and as there were people in the queue behind me, I didn't manage to grab anything else to make it up to £10. Got out of the shop and then realised I could have bought a Sainsbury's magazine at the till and it probably had vouchers in too:rolleyes: ! Oh well, live and learn as my mum says.

    I think I need more lessons :think: !
