    I've just put in a Mr T order using their £3 off £30 delivery code, and my £5 voucher I had :) I've ordered 44 items apparently, no idea how it got that high haha. The delivery guy is going to think I'm mad though, look at my basket:

    2 x ristorante pizza £4.50 (my faves)
    7 x 250g butter £1.25 each
    6 x 6 cake bars £2 for 2
    6 x cloudy lemonade 54p each
    2 x 4 x 410g tinned spaghetti in tom sauce £1.50 each
    2 x 6 potato cakes 45p each
    curly fries £1.70 (just fancied them)
    10 x organic chopped toms 390g 50p each
    2 x 2 mozarella burgers £1 each
    3 x 450g yoghurt 3 for £3
    3 x 6 x 1.5lt water £1.99 each

    I'm hoping they're good deals, I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to food shopping and I did try to use mysuper for this as well :)

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

  • I've got £81.00 worth of stock and £6.23 in my 2nd purse so it's going slowly but surely :).

    Considering I've only put £33.00 cash in my 2nd purse, didn't have any stock when we started the challenge and am not charging myself full price for any of the items (I'm so generous with myself :D), I feel like that's really good progress. I've actually made a profit of £54.23 since we started - that would have gone to the SMs instead of me :j.

    PS I've noticed I have much less rubbish in my bin since I've cut my grocery bills down - my wheelie bin's emptied every 2 weeks and used to be full, now it's only half full. So it's good for my purse and good for the environment :).
