Second Purse Challenge 2012

Managed to get to H0me Barga!ns today so a few bits for 2nd purse stock:

Neutrogena handcream £2.99 for two - it's usually at least that price for one - sell back £2.50 each.
Simple soap pack two - 89p - last time I bought these they were £1.35 at Mr Shoes
Tuna - 3 pack for £1.39

Shame I was in a rush or I'm sure I could have found more bargains

Ive had to just throw this weeks budget to the wind im afraid, DH restarted my laptop and has moved all my spreadsheets etc to a spare hard drive and refuses to put them back on till he's virus scanned them all. I didnt even think to write down my shopping as I thought Mr Procrastination would just get on with it but no, he lived up to his name and I now have no idea what I have spent from GB or 2nd Purse

Will give him a nudge this weekend to get on with it, and start again on monday and try and figure out what comes off the second purse budget at least

That's strange - Mr Procrastination lives in my house too :rotfl:.

Well... if I thought I bought a lot last week, I've really outdone myself this week. I blame the offer on P&P from AF! I've spent waaaay too much and I've now got nothing left in the SP Nevermind, I'm sure it won't take too long to get back to my £50 threshold. And I now have over £25 towards my £100 total!

Hi MB, don't worry you are not alone - I have nothing in my SP now, spent it all yesterday on some good deals. Actually borrowed money this week from SP but have now repaid so it now stands a NIL:rotfl::rotfl:

Found a friend today (my very first one, not my very first friend, but the first one who was actually interested in the workings of the SP:rotfl::rotfl:) and it was lovely to talk to someone who didn't look at me as if I have two heads:eek: Think I might get her converted.... so watch this space:D

What I spend out of the SP seems to be balancing with what I buy from Sallys Stores at the moment - but I have to remember that the store is still growing because I dont use all I buy......

Latest update is:-

Second Purse bought YS/Whoopsied 2 x steak pies, lamb steaks, 2 x rolled pork = cost £8.00

Bought from Sallys Stores:-

Steak Pie bought @ £1.19 paid £1.50
6 x diet pepsi bought @ £1.39 paid £2.50
Sugar bought @ 69p paid £1.00
Kitchen Roll bought @ 50p paid 50p
Lamb bought @ £1.99 paid £2.50

So that totals £8.00 too!! :rotfl:

Youngest DD just called in and needed loo rolls, and I usually just give without asking for anything back, but decided I need to think more about myself and my budget (and SP ) so have "sold" her 2 x 9 Velvet loo rolls, a Dettol no touch hand wash system, 2 x shampoos and a radox bath soak for the grand sum of £5.00.....and the £5.00 has gone directly into my 3rd purse.

So my totals are SP £20 and 3rd Purse £49 :T
