I had to go into the city again today to visit my doctor. While there, I went shopping for a small gift for a friend’s birthday today. I got some biscuits and food items to make up into small hamper. A good time to do this at this time of the year. I also pick up gift vouchers for another friend’s birthday over New Year. She likes to shop in one shopping centre near where she works. So I got her smallest amounts gift vouchers that were possible as this centre has a change policy on they gift vouchers. So if you had a $50.00 voucher were to buy sometime for $35.95 you forfeit the rest of voucher, so I buy $10.00 ones. $$$ Another Strategy

While I was in the city I got my medical refund $19.40, and bought some groceries and fresh fruit & vegetables costing $19.34 on the way home.

I also bought more 2nd books for $3.00 value RRP $15.95
