So this morning I went and did some job spotting, am up to nearly £10 in there but won't cashout now until tomorrow Then I popped into Tesco on the way back to get some bread and I happened to be in there for one of those mythical yellow sticker moments that you read about on these boards I sometimes find the odd thing reduced, but never by more than 20p etc, but today was clearly my lucky day. It was the biggest bunfight known to man but my elbows were sharpened and I joined in with the rest of them My haul was as follows:
Apple and blackberry lattice pie 28p
Whole chicken 37p
Finest stuffing 25p
Steak pie x 2 18p each
Diced beef x 2 32p each
Chicken drumsticks x 4 (ready to eat) 14p
Chicken drumsticks x 8 22p
Mixed cauliflower, broccoli and carrots x 2 13p each
Sprouts 10p (this went through as a 3 for 2 so was free)
Finest belgian chocolate mousse x 3 8p each
Carrot & swede for mashing 4p
4 Chicken thighs x 3 50p each
Spaghetti bolognese ready meal x 2 11p each
Raspberry bakewell pudding x 2 25p each
Puff pastry x 2 12p each
1.5kg potatoes 10p
Total amount £5.36 :money: :money: :money: :money:

Am intrigued as to what job spotting is? never heard of it.
Well done on the yellow stickered stuff, I rarely pick stuff up like that.0 -
It's an app Louby, basically whenever you see an sign for a vacancy you open the app, take a picture of the sign and the premises and they give you points for doing so. The number of points ranges from 5 - 100ish, each point is worth 1 US cent. Then you can cash them in (no minimum amount) for Amazon vouchers.
I tend to go for a walk along local high streets every few weeks, it is surprising how many signs there are once you start looking. It can be shops, restaurants, anywhere really. It's really simple to do and can be done at any time. It gives me a purpose when walking the dog tooMortgage Total: £55,900 / £75,000

Was ill over Christmas which was a shame, went down with cellulitis (not to be confused with cellulite!) but on the mend now thankfully.0
