Asda Grocery £400 cost £384 saving £16 4%
Tesco Grocery £500 cost £480 saving £20 4%
Multi Card £300 cost £279 saving £21 7% (40stores including Iceland)
Total £1200 cost £1143 saving £57
That's £57 towards my car costs £418.80. £1200 is £100 a month which allows a further £20-30 to be spent at other stores. I've been actively looking out yellow stickers and I took advantage of a 25% Asda clothing to buy the usual underwear/socks stocking fillers for Christmas a further £26. Unfortunately Tesco's receipt doesn't give the original price so you have to look at every pack to do a tally. I did get some beef in gravy for 88p instead of £3.50!

That's something I've learnt. Never heard of shopping cards before. Yes, annoying about the Tesco receipts, you have to check each item for the original price. I no longer do that.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky as the cards are part of my husband's perks. We get deals through his company.
DeleteMe neither, didn't know there was such a thing as shopping cards.
ReplyDeleteMy husband works for a tiny cog in a huge company and this is a employees reward scheme. Lots of companies have them now.
DeleteThat's a new one to me as well. Interesting.
ReplyDeletexx
It's about the only perk we get.
DeleteWill you physically put the money you 'save' to one side in an account (as if you actually spent it) or do you have another method so it'll be there when you need it?
ReplyDeleteYes Cathy I'll be putting £100 each month into my cashbuilder account from my pension, ready to buy the next ones.
DeleteThat's great about the cards, there's not much companies give out these days so every little helps. You've made a cracking start if you've already saved £104. I don't doubt you'll hit your weekly target and I have a feeling you're going to hit the overall target a lot sooner than you think :) xx
ReplyDeleteI've got to hear myself to shopping at a different time and be prepared to change meal plans.
DeleteI am amazed at your maths skills to be honest. My brain would just go to fuzz with all that. Probably just as well we don't have all those kinds of schemes over here in France I guess. I see people in the US downloading coupons and so on and wonder "why not here"? Oh well, I guess you just get used to what you have don't you. (That being said, I'm off on a day trip to Italy in 10 days so maybe that is how we "save" money - change countries)!
ReplyDeleteWhen I've shopped in America, I love that they're all geared up for coupons. The lady on the checkout ran off to get us the coupons for various things we bought. We get very few coupons in the UK,bits more loyalty cards but they've been devalued more and more.
DeleteLots of stores here have those cards, however that discount you get from your Husbands job is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is good value especially when you know you are going to spend that money anyway.
DeleteIt's keeping ourselves accountable like this that really focuses the mind and make challenges worth doing isn't it. You've made a brilliant start there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, I just need to target yellow sticker stuff over the next 11 months.
DeleteYou have made a brilliant start. I hadn't heard of shopping cards either but they are well worth taking advantage of, aren't they. You have some smart savings already.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you. I've just got to keep it up.
DeleteWhen I was working full time it was for a company where we could buy shopping vouchers at a discount. We also had other great staff benefits. I miss them as the company I now work for doesn't give us anything.
ReplyDeleteHubbies company are based in Ireland and they have this rewards scheme and the ability to buy company shares. We've had 3 lots if shares over the last 15 years and always had a great return.
