I think I might spilt the cost between grocery budget and second purse-second purse wil pay for the cokes and snack bars and Ill buy them back at individual prices,but they should keep me set for a little while once I get back to being strict with WW, prolly be next week.

ETA: I didnt see anywhere on my AF order when I should expect it-could someone help me with that please?

:T it's so cheap on there isn't it! I wish i'd found it when they started! Re the order they always email me straight after i've paid and then i usually get an email a day or so after saying it has been dispatched. I've never had to wait longer than a week for it. I think you can call them too to see if you can get a better delivery time that way?!

Thanks for that DFW, Im not in a hurry for it-just dont want to miss it;)
I also just got Motherships pasta deal-my first food purchase from rainforest.

Im going to have to get some big plastic containers for them though as we live behind a wooded area and are prone to mice every now and then-any suggestions?

Hi all, I'm de-lurking to say I'm gonna try and sort this challenge out and make it work for me, cos I've goodies stashed all over the house and I love my bargains!!!
I'm intrigued by the DR meat-I can only see free delivery if you spend £80 and what is the referral system please?

We suffer with little mices, they usually move in when it's very cold or the rats move into the garden :eek:

We have permanent traps down (inside the house, they can do want they want outside), sorry for those that don't like killing wee things (better than poison, quicker, more humane) but it can be a serious issue if you are in the countryside

Hi and welcome, the DR referral is recommend a friend, so the person recommending gets a gift and the new person gets free delivery, no minimum spend

MunniMuncha is next in line to refer someone, so if you wanted to PM her your name, address and email she will recommend you and you will get an email from DR with codes and don't forget to order via QUIDCO as it's 12% cashback :T

Then you will be next in line to recommend a friend

Am very tempted on the joint offers but am broke, very broke:rotfl:

I've done my order with Te$co to be collected on Monday. I'll post what I've ordered later with my Second Purse plans for most of it. It's a stockpiling shop really, and should keep the cupboards full and happy for a couple of months. If you spot anything on my list that isn't a great offer/know of any good offers I've missed then please let me know.

Will post sometime after I get home tonight

SueP19

I have been to Mr T's this morning and saw these offers

Br@nston Be@ns 4 pack half price at £1.27 for all those bean lovers

Pi!gims cheese half price at £2.24[/COLOR] 30p pdf voucher on voucher thread link post 2 https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3703791
Now this makes it cheaper than the current c@thedr@l city offer as pi!grims is a 400g block and c@thedr@l is only a 350g one

Speci@l K reduced to £2 till 6th March

Sorry if these have been mentioned

Evening all, I'll update the front page when I get back from the PO, just wanted to post my first SP loss OH left my clip lock tub of museli in the kitchen and the dogs ate it The box is ruined and the museli all gone. I'm absolutely gutted as it's Suma's lovely luxury stuff and is £7.76 for 3kg. I'll have to buy some more from the rainforest with my vouchers from work, although it still costs less than d0rset cer3al and it's got more fruit in

oh no :eek: but you have to say fair play to the dogs for eating so healthily.


Things are starting to move properly with second purse now.... stock in and out. So I've just put my monthly £10 in and have £29.25 in my second purse and stock of £73.25 so far. Off to stock up on shampoo and conditioner in a bit as I have no stock at all now over the current ones in use.
