    I think I'll be heading to Te$co later on as they have Utterly Butterly at 2 for £1.80 and Dentyl mouthwash for £2.

    I've not seen the mouthwash cheaper (even including the 3 for 2 at Shoes) so I'll be buying £10 worth to last me for a few months and charging myself £3 when I use a new one. £5 of profit there :D

    There's also a good deal on Old El Paso kits at A$da - £3.22 for one (I think) or 2 for £3.

    I'm going to do a stocktake and balance up the second purse before I go to the shops though - I think that Mr Fresian has been taking things without telling me again!

    The Amaz*n 6 x 1.5 Lenor has recently gone up in price, it's been £11 something for ages. I last bought it at under £6 for 6, so it's def worth tracking! :D

    How do I do that? DH has just woken up-feeling worse for wear:rotfl:He handed me a wallet with £100 gift vouchers from John Lewis with a card from his boss telling me DH got a party and a bottle of whiskey but they wanted to give me something too as they know he was only able to be as dedicated to his job as he was because of my support.

    I put them in the pencil bag wallet and he asked whymy answer was it'll come in handy at some point-he said I should get myself something nice-thats what its for. I think he was confused when I said I liked the idea of treating myself at christmas with a gratis bit of dosh to spend in a store that Id never shop in myself because of the price:rotfl:But he's right,my attitude to this kind of thing has changed.

    Oh, isnt that lovely??? :D

    And remember you can use them in Waitrose too! :T

    You can track Amazon items on www.camelcamelcamel.com

    If it works, this should show how the Lenor has been up and down:-

    I've just bought £11.50 of goodies from my stores :D, so with the loose change in my SP I have £12.50ish. I'm hoping to get to Mr M today or tomorrow and will use this plus my £5 voucher to re-stock :).

    Thanks for the link Fozzie, I've signed up too :)

    Arghh - my spreadsheet has gone slightly awry and I can't work out how - I have been sorting out storage space and organising all my stock so I think I will just start afresh with a new sheet then I know everything is up to date - my DD said to me a couple of days ago have you seen my note - I said no where is it - she took me upstairs to my stock wardrobe and she had taken a can of impulse put her used can in there ontop of a little note saying how she had taken a new can (ahh bless her). If anyone uses Impulse (DD has only recently discovered these and they are quite expensive at £1.99 but they often have little 50p coupons on and are often reduced to just under a £1 so I don't mind paying 50p for them) I started adding these to the 2nd purse and she now has a little stock of different aromas.

    We had our DR burgers the other night and I am not really a big fan of burgers - I enjoyed the one I had but don't think it would be something I replenish I would much rather have steak

    My AF order arrive yest - missing the sesame oil but all in all very happy. Stacking my 16 packets of wraps on the shelves did make me worry I might have slight hoarding issues..but I had a bit of a sort and am using up a couple of long time lurking at the back things this pm to make me feel better lol. Bought £7 worth of stuff back straight away so purse is upto £20 now.

    Bought JOHN WEST TUNA 3 FOR £2 in asda if anyone looking. I only got 6 as we don't eat huge amounts but its all money in the second purse!

    Ive just got back from a freecycle run-some clothes for DD.I need to go through them as the seasons and sizes might not match-I took the lot and said Ill pass on what I wont use.

    So I plan to sort those out this afternoon and do at least a freezer inventory.
