Second Purse Challenge 2012

jakes-mum

Been to Mr T today and I bought:

Dolmio Sauces - 99p (bought 14)
Quakers Strawberry and Yogurt Cereal - £2.00 (I bought 9 as is the only cereal I eat)
Easter Eggs - £2.50 B1G2F (bought 6)
Utterly Butterly £1.80 BOGOF (only bought 2)

Spent £45 and got a £7 off £50 spend, so might go back tomorrow and see if I can get more of my cereal :rotfl:

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.

Alas the shelves were empty of both of those offers

On the plus side, while I was there I bought 240 Typh00 teabags for £2.64 and got a tillspit for £6 off £40 spend which i immediately used on the clothes that fell into my trolley on the way round the shop

I'll sell the teabags back to myself for £4 so a nice profit there. Mr F drinks tea like it was water, so I will go back tomorrow and get more teabags while I'm hunting for mouthwash and marge

Dreamerbea, shoes are doing bogof on Impuse , looked at some this morning.:)

Thank you - I will check it out - I only buy them if they have another one of the little coupons on so I can keep the discount going - I think we probably have enough to last DD 4 to 5 months, the current coupons are valid until September so I am hoping they do another offer later in the year

I never seem to get any tillspits in MrT not sure if this is a regional thing as I don't think any local friends have mentioned getting them either

I suspect it's because I don't normally shop there I usually shop in Aldi or Morrisons, and only went to Tesco because I was after mouthwash.

Did a stocktake this morning and paid 2nd Purse for the items I'd had this week. Mainly stuff for packed lunches, but also some conditioner and bath foam.

Took 2nd purse for a trip to MrS this morning. They have Choc Shreddies on BOGOF so I bought 4 as both DS's have cereal everyday. Total spend of £4.16, will buy back at £2/box.

Going to MrT tomorrow to get weekly shop and they have their frozen salmon fillets (6) at £5.50 half price, so will buy 2. One to buyback straightaway, the other for my stockpile. They also have Weetos half price so will get 2.

Think I'm going to need another cupboard

Ive noticed this too-Ive not shopped there in a while because I wasnt getting any discont codes or vouchers-this week I got a load of vouchers for £7 off £70 spend dated over the next few weeks.

Me too - went today just to get OH's beer as it was on offer (haven't frequented Mr T's for weeks now) and got a £6 off £40 spend, £3 off OH's razor blades (which is a great saving) and 50p off girlie things (not so great as can get them cheaper elsewhere even with the 50p off), so looks like it is their tactic. Also had £39 off vouchers in the post this week for the next 6 weeks, but won't be using them as am really trying to avoid Mr T at all costs (except for when it suits ME)
