ok whilst i have 5 mins peace i will update the few things i bought. I got a lenor fabric conditioner half price in te$co £1.68....I had a voucher for £1 off so only paid 68p also picked up some fabric run thingys as they were half price too. Just the one pack so was £1.24 i think. Ummmmmmm, ohhhh yes how could i forget,...got 8 loaves of bread reduced down to between 11p & 24p so in freezer and the money i owed the second purse i have done a trade with bought it more stock which i don't need to pay for lol so we're quits now oH and 1 i forgot....2 packs of 4 toilet rolls for £3.50 from co-op and you can get 2 vouchers from their website for 5op off two packs so makes it £2.50 for 8 loo rolls which i thought was ok (cushelle)

Have had a good look at DP and would like to order the steak pack, we decided to do a date night at home every other week and have a steak meal so this would be ideal as well as to cover a few other meals which will be slightly more luxurious than the everyday budget meals we will be doing. Sooo... please may I be added to the list as I am hoping to order asap. Also are they quick with delivery too?

Have had a look at AP, they have the kelloggs mini bites at £14.99 for 250 bags making them around 5p with free delivery but I honestly don't think I could ever eat that many lol. I think the not wanting to pay the delivery charge is subliminal, I often wont order for anywhere that has a delivery charge lol

hubby did well earlier, he found a few wayward jars of nescafe 200g at £4 but they were the 300g jars left over from that promotion. I was so pleased with him, he's really started listening and trying less him and I'm off to scout some more out for the stash tomorrow.

Hi SBunny - You can choose your delivery date with DR - I ordered mine last night and could have had it delivered tomorrow at the earliest, so pretty quick!

On AP they have Special K bites 30 bags for £6.99 with 'free delivery' which if you take that off it makes them nearly 6p per bag, so good also if you don't want 250 bags:eek: I know you are still effectively paying for the postage, but if you are going to put in an order anyway, then at least it is some compensation for getting it 'free' IYKWIM :rotfl::rotfl:

:T i was also wondering this!?!

I have placed forward orders with them BUT you do pay for them all at the time of ordering and I haven't yet got enough in my budget to be able to do the orders in advance. Maybe one day I will be able to (here's hoping!!!). I am fairly sure though they will always have offers of sorts on - I have been a customer for a few months and i have had A LOT of offers sent through!!!! All delicious.......

OOPS! re my above post, hadn't quoted enough - this was the question re the DR ordering in advance.

Our Mr#Co-#p has Te#ley T B#gs (160) for £2.05 instead of £4.29 HTHS.

Added some to my stock cupboard tonight. 3rd purse still building nicely:)

Happy saving everyone!

Mothership - can I just ask please when you place your orders with DR over different months, do they debit your credit card all at once or do you pay for them once they are despatched? Many thanks

They take it when they place the orders. I don't mind that because I order at the end of the month when I pay the 2nd Purse for the stuff I've used. When I first started building up my freezers, I was only able to buy stuff for delivery the next month, it took a year to get it where it is now. When you know you have deliveries coming it forces you to eat from the freezer. I just make sure I use the meat by the use by date. When I first found their website I thought it was expensive (some of their stuff just isn't worth it, especially their ready meals.)
If you only buy their offers when free delivery is on, and get Quidco, it works out about the same as SM & M&S. But the quality is FAR superior.
2nd Pursing is intended to improve your standard of living. Its better to have a little less better quality meat, than the tasteless mush the SM feed us. I feel a lot better now that I've stopped eating it.

Hi Savvybunny, if you would like to give your name, address and email to Marbett, she can then recommend you. Just let me know if you have a problem

I thought long and hard about placing an order because I always buy as cheap as possible and believe me it's worth it, the meat is devine, a world away from the super stuff ............and no I am not on commission :rotfl::rotfl:

I echo that, its fabulous and I suppose if you get into the habit of smaller advanced orders it's the same as having a second purse freezer but it's in Aberdeenshire :rotfl:
