Second Purse Challenge 2012

jakes-mum

just had to sort out purchases from SOS as it seems I was using something without paying for it! Shoplifting from my own shop :eek:

so new 3rd purse total is . . . . £10.15 / £130 :j

Value baby bath has disappeared from all the supermarkets down my end of the wood! Very annoying and I can't find a good replacement at all. If you can still get it where you are, I'd recommend stockpiling it!

I'm going to take your advice and stock up tomorrow

Just popping in to say hi :hello:

I'm not able to pay my 2nd purse at the mo as the budget won't stretch that far , so just hanging on until payday when I can put £10 in and start bargain hunting again .

I'm not seeing this as a failure though, just part of the learning process...I'll be back on the wagon next month :T.

I'm enjoying reading the thread every day though, even if I haven't got anything useful to add at the moment .

My 2nd purse is owed £31.90 at the moment - probably overstocking on deals, but still only getting what I use. Hope the balance shifts soon though.

Evening All !

Just checking in.....my 2nd Purse spend is virtually keeping pace with my purchases from the stock at the moment, so I have £24.46 in my second purse, and stock value of around £150. A few modest spends this week including MrW has the Seriously Strong Cheese Spread on offer at £1 - it's at least £1.35 depending which supermarket you're in so I bought 6 as DH seems to go through a tub a week!

I think I'll start paying money over into my 3rd purse when I reach the £50 mark, as I can see it being ages before I get to £100

Thanks to everyone for the tips......aren't we all doing well :j

Ive added 3kg's of sugar to PP from lidos at 89p/kg.
flying Fresian,if you have an !cel@nd near to you, they also have ww meals at 3 for £3. I had my first weigh in yeterday-13st3lbs. when I started before having DS2 I was 14st6lbs,so quite chuffed that Ive managed to have two babies and lse just on a stone.Of course I made the mistake of posting on FB and got yelled at by a number of "new mums" for "counting calories" whilst breastfeeding-I didnt have the energy to argue that ww DOES NOT count calories at all, or that my diet is far healthier on ww than off:(

Let me know if you want me to pm you with what meals I got (unless others want to know too-Im just mindful no to clog up the thread)

Just ordered my first assignment from AF which came to £29 odd (for £95 worth of food):j:j. As I have £30 in my second purse, will use this to pay for it and put it in MunniMart. Think I have got the hang of this now and can see the real benefit of the second purse, so thank you all for being sooooo patient with me :T:T:Tand to Mothership for this wonderful new way of shopping :A

Hi all

Needed to pay my £10 in for the month today. With what I owed it for sales this week I now have £23. I am made up with this idea. Like I said last week don't think I am doing it to the letter but £23 in a few weeks is fantastic for me. :j:j

Well done everyone with their 2nd purses.;)

:eek: i've totally raided my stock this week with half term and not paid a penny!!!!!! Thank god it's not a real shop or i'd be in trouble by now I haven't got much left in my grocery budget (if anything haven't done sums yet) so may not be able to pay anything till next month now (oops) but i have been paying full price for everything up to now and i also have my order from AF due tomorrow! I'll try to do better next month lol
