I had a child-free afternoon today which a rarity so I took full advantage and went shopping for a bargain.

On the last Thursday of each month the Daily Mirror newspaper feature some money off coupons for selected Aldi products, I’ve been taking advantage of this for a few months now but the value of the offers is steadily declining, there were only three coupons worth 50% off this time and the rest were 30% off so I’m not sure it’s such a great deal anymore when you take the cost of the paper into account, anyway here’s what I bought.

Cost before coupons £6.96 – Cost after coupons £4.01 – Saving £2.95

I also went to Home Bargains, this is one of my favourite places to pick up bargains.

I’ve been doing a lot of batch cooking, freezing, and baking over the Summer which is saving us a fortune and making mealtimes so much easier but I need to build up a stock of suitable containers and storage so I thought this 7 pack of different size lidded containers for £2.99 was a brilliant bargain, I also picked up the smaller food containers as I freeze portions of mashed potato and these are just the right size, they were only 69p

I think these take the prize as bargain of the month for me, I’ve been looking to pick some flashcards up second-hand for free or as cheap as possible as they retail for about £4.99 so when I saw these for 59p a pack I couldn’t resist.

Have you found any good bargains this week? let me know in the comments below I love hearing from you.
