This month has been a much more challenging month in terms of saving/earning more money. Nevertheless, I persevered and managed the following savings/earnings:
1) I saved £23 this month, using vouchers for money off grocery shops at Tesco once again.
Money saved at Tesco this month - £23.
2) We didn't travel north this Easter to visit relatives for one reason or another. We therefore saved money on purchasing Easter eggs.
Savings on Easter gifts this month - £20
3) I sold several more items on eBay this month.
Total eBay earnings (after fees/postage) - £22.56
4) I managed to save some money on a 3 for 2 offer at Boots this month. I needed some concealers, but was horrified to find that they've discontinued the Seventeen range, which were my favourite. I had to choose some alternatives, which were cheaper and one range offered 3 items for the price of two, so I saved £1.99. I just hope I like the products or it wasn't actually a saving at all. That's two ranges of concealer that I liked that have now gone out of production. I'm not having much luck with this lately.
Money saved on Boots offer - £1.99
5) I bought a few plants at B&Q on a day when they had 20% off all outdoor plants and saved £2.28 and also saved a further £8 by buying some dahlia and peony tubers on clearance.
Total saved at B&Q - £10.28
6) I saved money on groceries using Waitrose money off £50 grocery shop vouchers as well this month.
Total money saved at Waitrose - £10.00
7) I saved £3.50 when I purchased two vegan lipsticks at Superdrug's Pop Up Vegan Beauty shop this month. To be honest I didn't even know they were on offer when I bought them, so this was a bonus.
Total money saved at Superdrug this month - £3.50.
When added together these savings come to a total this month of £91.33 and when added to the total so far this year of £596.92, the new current total on this challenge to date is £688.25.
As I expected, savings/earnings this month were not as good as in previous months, but I'm still just about on target and still plugging away, saving where I can.
Great Post! Keep up the good content!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you kind comment.
DeleteYou are doing very well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks Jackie, but it is getting harder. If I get to £1000 this year I'll be happy.
DeleteAnother good post, think back to last year, when you were posting of your overspends each month, you have come so very far. I am finding I can save simply by not being in any shops, but now I have stopped working I do find it easier to resist.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marlene, it's true, when I look back there was a lot of very serious overspending. I can see that progress is being made and it's very satisfying.
