    Morning all!
    Happy New Wombling Year_party_
    Breaking Wombling news from yesterday.......
    Went in to Superdrug to get hand soap. Went to get two own brand which were around 79p each or two for £1.39, and they scanned as two for 35p - they are changing the packaging on own brand items, there is no shelf-edge-label (s-e-l) it just scans as clearance item. The shop staff were totally confused.
    Might be worth a look if you are needing anything to see if the labelling changes half way down the row of bottles. Just a quick heads up.
    Saving me £1.20.

    Went into charity shop and found a blazer in DS1s size for £2.50 - it was on the list of things to look out for in charity shops in the immediate future.
    Saving me £23.50
    Found a school jumper bnwt £5 never worn, £1
    Saving me £4 - also on the list of things to look out for

    What was not on the list was Risk for £2.50 brand new in box but water damaged - obv put in a cupboard/shed as unwanted gift, cheapest on Amazon £34.99 :eek: (which was why I didn't buy it for Chrismas, I knew it would pop up somewhere, saving me £32.49) and a black waistcoat for DS4 who loves his BHS closing down sale 25p purple bow tie and wore it all Christmas day. So it looks like I am slowly getting the boys wedding suit finery chazzer style.

    Oxfam was rammed with new M&S stock (they clear items through Oxfam where we are - lots of pyjamas/underwear/dresses/mens shirts ) I swear they actually have more bnwt stock than actual donations in there.

    Happy Shiny New Thread:beer:

  • Out of the starting block for me with 25 Mr T Clubcard points for filling in their survey. I've also added a reminder to Google Calendar at the start of each month as I often forgot which month I had or hadn't done the survey in, should be easier this way! Now I just need to remember to hang on to a receipt towards the end of each month XD
