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 bargainsPay debt in 2012 #278 £2347/£5364

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 leastSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £0/£10000 -

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!2nd Purse #036 £46.69/£50.00 3rd Purse £30.020

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:DWhen you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying!:rotfl:

That's good to know, because I seem to go from one extreme to another.
I tried to explain SP to my sister, and it has now become a bit of a running joke2nd Purse #036 £46.69/£50.00 3rd Purse £30.020 -
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 :T0 -

Happy Easter to you too mumof3
Fozzie, I like your thinking re: selling items to your daughter did she get them at cost price?
