Bob and everyoneelse can you let me know how and what you claim in your personal wombling totals eg how much sainsburys and Tescos points are worth etc

I f you use a money off coupon would you claim that amount?

If you are given gift cards as presents do you claim those as well when you use them?

Also can you recommend any phone apps that give rewards in vouchers rather than by bacs/PayPal as I prefer not to give out too many financial details.

Sorry for the ton of questions but gearing myself up for the new yr

Hello there

Ok. So you can work out Mr S value quite easily. If 500 points equals the lowest payout value of £2.50 then each point is worth something like 0.005p. However I tend not to add my score on that way. I only add when I have something tangible to add on. So although I may comment on finding a reciept with x points, I don't try and calculate it's value. I wait till my £ score changes on my reciept at the till. For Mr T if I'm sent vouchers of a certain value like £5 I will add that onto my score straight away.

If I get a money off coupon I add the score on.

Gift cards count as money so yes add their value on.

I don't have anything to add on the paypal thing vs vouchers sorry.

It doesn't sound silly at all. I think you should count the food value yes. And especially if it's food you would have had to buy yourself.

Maybe in other challenges it is only about coupons but I include anything that comes to me free and I remember to add to my score:)

Thanks for your reply Bobarella. I think I'll join in from 1st of Jan

I'm looking forward to tallying up all my freebies and finds for the year after having read some of the previous year's thread this morning. You lot really do seem to be like little magpies, I never find any money on the street haha. I did however find £1 in a laundrette washing machine last week which I count as roadkill of sorts haha

Hello,

Would i be able to join for 2016 please? I never kept a total last year so i would be interesting to see how much i can wobble.

I went pretty quiet on the 2015 thread towards the end of the year, work and getting ready for christmas took hold. Its a shame really after a good year or staying on track.

I have a number of asdaprice receipts to check to see if there is anything on them for me to use, however i have no access to a printer until I'm back at work on the 5th to get the vouchers, so could I add them to my total then?

Thanks for the shiny new thread Bob

Hi Sophie
Life gets in the way right, so annoying. I'd say there is no problem as you are claiming the money in 2016.
Welcome back

Bob

Seriously, once you start to tune in to what's about you'll find much more.

Count me in for 2016 (lurked for the whole of 2015!)
Sorted out the lost property box at work yesterday and came home with a bag of bits that with a wash or a clean will get added to my ever growing carboot box for when the weather gets a bit warmer; the prize of which was a swiss pen knife! Shame i've already got a couple! But after a clean up it will be on it's way out again.
My roadkill money so far for 2015 is £32.61 but I'm not out and about between now and 1st so I don't think it's going to get any bigger! Decided to donate £10 of it (the £10 I found floating round a carpark) to my favourite charity and then be very rock and roll and save the rest of it
Wishing you all the luck of a magpie for the new year!

GG

Good delurking Goblin. And excellent roadkill score too!

Found 31p roadkill and also helped a friend out by clearing her bric-a-brac as she's moving house and hasn't got the time to list on ebay so she said I can sell these as thanks for moving them

some pretty good pieces of furniture so I'm hoping to make around £30-£40 on these.
