    I like the idea of this challange just need to get my head around it and probably start march onwards as my gc challange mobth starts on 15th payday.

    Does everyone pay for groceries with cash?
    2nd purse is that money saved through offers and whoopsies?

    take it clothing/birthdays not inclkuded in this.

    just food , household and toilitries?

    Hi Gailey and welcome

    The second purse is awesome and we all include different things (I have 2 mascaras in mine) It's entirely up to you

    Oops my post above crossed with fozziebeartoo's.

    My AF order arrived and some of it came twice! I called AF to tell them (I know some people would just keep quiet, but I'd feel too guilty!) And they said to keep it! So my price per unit for biscuits, pasta and milk just halved! It's the second time I've had to call AF and I am just so impressed with their customer service.

    Now you can enjoy them with a clear conscience :D:D

    so excited :D im going SP'ing today :D

    Dh is taking us all to the local farm who make their own sausages, we are not sure how much they cost or what else they sell so are off to have a scout round and it seems they let the kids go see all their animals as well (dont think i'll inform DD where some of them will end up :eek:)

    Quite excited by the thought I could get to bulk buy some locally produced meat, and that it wont actually be paid for by my grocery budget :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Morning!!!

    Had a delivery last night from Rainforest - 36 x Andr$x loo roll - should keep us going for a while ;)

    Also placed my first AF order. DH has Eat Natura! bars everyday and at £2.09 for 3 it's costing a fortune. AF had a case of 28 for £5.99 (BB Jan 2012). Doubt whether DH would even notice the BB date he wolfs them down so quickly :p

  • After buying some more from MunniMart I now have £55 in my second purse. Told OH this and he said 'oh good, that can be my beer money when I go and watch the rugby tomorrow' - now I know I haven't quite come to grips with the 2nd purse, but he definitely hasn't:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Mr Fresian is the same! I went to take some pasta out of my stockpile cupboard and found a half opened packet of teabags :eek: When I asked why he'd done that he said "Well, that's where you keep them now isn't it?" :rotfl:

    He now knows that nothing is to come out of there unless I know about it :D
