This month I have managed to save/earn extra money as follows:
1) I saved £4.50 by utilising some Tesco Club Card and other vouchers this month, when I did a grocery shop.
Although I've previously mentioned not using supermarket vouchers, I meant this mainly with regard to Waitrose vouchers, on account of the store being much more expensive than other supermarkets for many items. I do shop at Tesco from time to time, as Lidl doesn't sell some items that I buy on a regular basis and these therefore have to be bought elsewhere.
Total saved at Tesco this month - £4.50.
2) I sold a few more items on eBay and made £18.83 after fees and postage had been taken out.
Total earned on eBay - £18.83
Total saved/earned this month is £23.33, which when added to the total at the end of last month of £807.31, means that I've now earned/saved an extra £830.64 so far this year.
With four months to go on this challenge, I am still hoping to get to at least the £1000 mark for the year, which would be a good enough achievement for me.
I may start trying to ramp up eBay sales in the lead up to Christmas, if I can get my act together, as I'd like to earn enough money to buy some new sofa covers in the next few months. (More in another post)
Just catching up on your last 3 posts - I seem to be always playing catch up at the moment but free time for me is very hard to find at the moment! You are doing great on the savings - our eBay sales have come to a halt at the moment as we have been coming and going so much. We are just getting around to preparing some more items for listing - just missed an offer too so might wait and see if eBay have any other offers soon. Christmas is such a tricky time - everyone wanting to do different things. It seems to become more and more pointless buying gifts that no one really wants. Now I am not working we will be on a very tight budget.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to keep Christmas very simple this year. We'll see how that goes!
