Both mine eat Superchunks at 79p for a large tin, and Chappie dry food which I get from our local pet shop and haven't a clue how much it costs but it isn't expensive.

Both myself and my gorgeous man in my life have saved our Tesco vouchers all year and pooled them together, plus i have been getting those £1 saving stamps and am the proud owner of nearly £100, we just have to empty our penny tins and away we go. I think the Tesco vouchers are a very good thing and as they have a long expiry date will do the same next year too. Every little helps as they say or is that Asda?
Om shanti, namesté, good luck to all who are embarking on the IVA journey, it isn't always an easy one but the outcome is the best.

No, it's the Tesco saying. We save ours up as well.

I do like to use my Tesco vouchers as deals you get 4X their value. It the chance to have a break away. We used our for a caravan holiday, we could self cater and it was nice to have a break. I try to save my £2 coins for Christmas.We have all decided to cut back this year as well and just buy token presents.

Do prefer to spend mine at Christmas.

We will only exchange a token bottle this year again as there really isn't anything either of us want. Family are having the vouchers I earn doing online surveys. It really does mnake it a cheap Christmas as regards presents.

When I think of what have spent years gone by!!!!!!!!!

I'm getting a silver bracelet from Dave, and he's getting the same from me as his bracelet snapped and the hinge on mine is about to go - quite convenient really as neither of us knew what we wanted, and we can't spend a lot!
