I did well during March collecting freebies while we were out and about.
Alan bought me the Vegan Meercat sweets as they were the last two in the farm shop, and they weren't going to be restocking. He had picked up some HP sauce for his sausage butty and then changed his mind. This is a frequent happening so I don't know why he continues to pick them up ... we rarely eat HP or brown sauce at home, although I do like tomato ketchup with a sausage butty.
Napkins and a little butter pat. Alan uses the 'real butter' pats when he is cooking a steak, so it's worth us bringing them home.
Lots more napkins, and not all ours. Alan spotted a real wad of them on the next table to us at the services, abandoned by the people that had left the table. I must have rubbed off on him, because he actually asked me if I wanted them ... of course I did. 😁
It was a good month for freebies collected on the Greggs App on my phone, helped by me buying my son and his partner four doughnuts on his birthday to take home with him. You get one free item for every eight that you buy.
On one visit to the services we managed to get one free sausage roll and ...
... a free Americano.
Not all ours, but all collected in on a visit to the garden centre.
Yet more freebies from Greggs ... I told you it had been a good month didn't I. 😄
The final Greggs freebie of the month was a glazed doughnut last Sunday on the way back from Mum's.
A highlight of a trip to Booths for a coffee, three napkins and a book.
I've been good recently and not really browsed the charity book table, but on this day I did and Alan surprised me by saying that he had just found a pound coin next to our car in the car park and did I want a book.
This one was there, brand new and calling my name.
Another wad of napkins and a few packs of salt.
And finally from Dobbie's on Saturday last week, the ketchup salt, peppers and napkins were ours and the mayonnaise had been left on the chair of the table we sat at.
They all came home.
So all in all March was a very successful month for gathering things in, and with all the napkins that have come home with me yet another month where I don't have to buy any kitchen paper. My last purchase was in November of 2024!!
I'm on a roll, even if I'm not actually buying any. 😄
