How many chickens in Eglu Cube

[BERTIE MCSQUIRTY]

having had the money twice (yes twice) this year and ummed and arrghed over buying a cube........even going over to snowy's to look at her dayglow orange and measuring it up (even though it wont fit in the space) i have decided to save up for one as i really do waaaant one.

 

i have bought for a £1, one of these tins that you cant get into without the use of a tin opener and intend to sell things / save for cube.

 

i am going to sell a few eggs to the neighbours (whats the going rate for free range / organic?) to put in pot.

 

i could also ask my family for omlet vouchers (do they exist?) for christmas.

 

and also my loose change

 

any other suggestions?

 

this is what i bought with my last cube money

tibetan terrier, called Daisy, currently 10 weeks old today

 

now here's the thing....................i broke my camera last week after taking photos of said dog, by placing it on top of the woodburner (when it was on)........i purchased camera from my original cube money and have only recently given away the old one!

Aww, definitely a good substitute for a cube . But obviously you still need a cube .

 

Can you persuade lots of people to get an eglu or cube? Then you could get vouchers from Omlet which I'm sure you could put towards a cube!

She's lovely, those eyes.

 

If you can get the money together twice in a year for a cube you wont need our ideas for saving. Come on tell us your secrets.

 

A few car boot sales usually raises a bit of cash. You could hen sit for people.

Good luck.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh lovely puppy!!!

 

Good luck with the savings scheme, hope it doesn't take too long!

Good luck with Cube mark 2!! I think £1.50 for 6 eggs is a good price. That is what we charge

i save all my £2 coins for holiday spends - each year i've accumulated about £900. leaving me with extra cash which i put aside, i also had a birthday where everyone gave me money.

 

and i have started to use aldi / lidl for shopping reducing my shopping bill by about £30 per week

It's the Good Egg Scheme. When someone buys an eglu/cube they get a yellow sheet which they can send back saying who recommended that they buy it. That person then gets £20 to spend in the Omlet shop.

 

I've never actually used the sheet, I just phoned up and gave Omlet the name/address of the person I'd persuaded. They check their records and if they've bought one, you get the "voucher".

 

You'd have to check if you could use it for a cube and not just in the shop.

the only problem is that..............i havent got an eglu and i have too many chickens for an eglu

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I don't think that would matter - it would just be a case of you talking to someone about chickens, and suggesting that they get an eglu or cube.

 

I don't think Omlet checks with the person that they were "persuaded" by you - the fact that you know their name & address is proof enough, I suppose.

 

Worth a try in any case - if these people you know end up getting an eglu or cube, phone Omlet and tell them.
