Woohoo :T

Good luck Shaz!!

As soon as you start DOING it (rather than thinking about it) it becomes much simpler!

Home Bargains has 56 Finish all in 1 for £5. Even on offer they are £8 for 52 in asda - would never buy at full price so bought 2 from second purse and immediately bought one back for £8.

Just done another AF order - lots of tortillas - corn and flour as we are big mex fans. Kidney beans, popping corn, vinegar, olive oil plus a few treats (nandos crisps and hot choc for the kids).

bargains bargains bargains - £29 inc delivery. Didn't have enough in 2nd purse so its coming out of groccereis budget and will pay the 2nd purse the difference as I use stuff - I reckon I should make about £30 profit

Welcome! Here to answer any questions if you do get confused. Remember that there's no real wrong way of doing it though - whatever works for you.

Kerri - can I change my goal to be for crafty supplies? Flying_Fresian's homepage has got me itching to spend lots of money on rubber stamps and card :rotfl:

I've got myself in a bit of a pickle again regarding accounting for my second purse money I know where I am but it means that my account balance wont match up to my spreadsheet balance (not going to explain it as will probably confuse myself as well as you all!) Ho-hum - it means I have more than it appears, so not a bad thing

Where do you live? Or any other Second Purse crafters for that matter????

I am in Southampton and have a definite excess of craft supplies and I am in the process of looking for a smaller house which it wont all fit into! :rotfl:

Anyone local would be welcome to have a rummage when I have sorted it all into one place

Welcome Shazzer, you will really get to grips with it soon, I started this challenge about three weeks ago, and have found that I have already have over thirty pounds in my second purse and a cupboard bursting full of lovely bargins.

Kerri can I also put my goal down for my DD prom dress which she would like to buy after Christmas.:)

OMG!OMG!OMG! Im being rude again and doing a post and run...but such excitement today!To start with I potentially pushed my stockpile value up to £781 by spending £4 at AP...bought 12 of these and 12 of the body butter to go with, at 33p each.i checked on the b0dy shop and the equivalent in there is £12.50...but then MrA does similar stuff for around £3.Cant decide which value to use?

etA: I am ging to go with £3-still gives me a value of £36.
