Odds and Ends

According to Tesco, I saved a bundle last year by using their clubcard - £2221 in savings! Mind you, according to them, £534.91 was the Delivery Saver or the savings of paying up front for one yearly fee and getting deliveries up to once per day. I sometimes worry that I abuse that - I have had loads over the year! £142.25 was on coupons, and sometimes I'm less than sure that I'm getting the best deal. I try and stay strong and only use coupons on stuff that I actually need but impulse sometimes sneaks in as well. I also got a boatload of points which turned into £134 of vouchers which covered some all the Christmas groceries and some presents.

Speaking of impulse, yesterday I bought a small bottle of perfume from eBay. I like my fragrance, and there was a joke going on with DH and I. However, as I finished paying, the ads next to the 'you have paid' bit were for bullet proof vests. Ads are supposed to reflect your browsing history. I'm fairly confident that I haven't been researching bullet proof vests, though with my random brain, who knows? But I have concerns about the perfume now. 

And my phone isn't getting texts, so I have to look at getting a new one. The phone is well used - I use it for my kindle and I'm always dipping into books as I have to sit between and during tasks a lot. I checked by searching on this blog and I think it's about three and a half years old and I bought it where it was coming to the end of being sold new as there were two newer models of the brand out. Thinking about it, I use it for taking pictures, reading and texting DH when dinner is ready. I can see another cheap android phone in my future. 

Just realised that I didn't press 'post' yesterday, so here is yesterday's instalment and I'll catch up again tonight.

Hugs and good health to all.
