I went out with a friend to my favourite cafe today and, it being my round, decided to have herbal tea instead of my usual cappuccino in order to save twenty percent on the bill. Nasty! Stewed weeds! Pffleurgh!
I’ve come to the conclusion that hot water on its own is actually better. On the few occasions when there’s been nothing else and I’ve been desperate for a hot drink, I’ve boiled up plain water. Weirdly, it actually tastes of something (like sucking on a pebble, come to think of it) and, even more bizarrely, it makes you thirsty.
Still, better than what I drank today – next time I shall ask to have the teabag separate and chuck it away!
Money I’ve raised today: £0.60 (saved by having herbal tea instead of coffee in a cafe)
Money I’ve raised so far: £795.16 (see my personal Justgiving pages via the links at the bottom of the sidebar, plus some I accidentally put on the communal pages!)
I offer a new moneysaving tip each week and you donate part of any saving direct to biomedical research charities
Grand total raised is £11,174 as of this week; £7,169 MERUK and £4,005 RRF, including all Justgiving pages and offline donations direct to charities. Keep on giving!
