I'm a bit upset as I got an email last night telling me that this offer was about to expire, but that was the first I'd heard about it. Didn't have enough time to take advantage

Looks like you've got yourself a good stash though x

Aw helen, you must have missed my post where I said about it on Friday next time it comes round again I'll post again it's already been shipped and should arrive tomorrow. Exciting! I'm most excited about the crisps and lucozade as I buy those at full price anyway a normal bag of crisps is around 80p when I get them in the garage when I'm on my travels so that'll save me loads of £££.

Am I really sad that I'm now making a database so I can keep track of my stock, as my spreadsheet is really annoying me because I have to update twice

I had to pop to get some milk earlier and while I was in Mr T I took advantage of B1G1F on 8pk of coke cans. I don't drink the full fat stuff but DH always has one after he's been on a cycle ride. Works out at 24p a can but I'm going to charge 50p as that's what I tend to think of for a can of fizzy.

I also got some nappy cream which was on price drop from £3.14 to £2.00 and I had a £1 voucher for that particular one from baby and toddler club so i got a £3.14 cream for a pound! Bargain!

I also obviously got my milk and treated myself to a magazine but used a £4.00 club card voucher at the checkout too so all in all I got £15.01 of shopping for a spend out of my pocket of £5.02! :j

I didn't buy these out my second purse as I'm not technically starting tlll 1st April but I'm starting to put money into my second purse if I use a shop product just to give it a starting boost. I know it's probably cheating a bit but will start using it properly next week!

Ah, yes - I've been generally absent recently so a lot of skim reading and late catch ups

Why do you have to update twice? I have quite a simple spreadsheet that I use to record my stock and it works out my amounts owed and purse balances from that....is yours a bit fancy?

No I'm just not very good with spreadsheets I think. Maybe I need to overhaul mine and make it less complicated, that way I can just put in how much I've used, what I've bought, and it'll tell me what I owe the purse. Then maybe I need a column for how much I've put into the purse. That sounds soooo much simpler actually! Will start on it now

I have settled up with 2SP purse today and now have £20 in SP and £32 in 3rdP! :j

SP owed FP for butter and dumplings for stores.

FP owed SP for chicken, dr mince, sauces etc.

I have a full freezer and nothing else needed to buy, unless I find a good bargain, which reminds me....oops...I forgot to take the coupons for bread/cake mix out with me but DID check they have them in stock in my local Sainsbugs!

And I have treated myself to a bargain printer.......mainly so I can print coupons and save money

Mmmmmmm.....not sure if it's false economy but I wanted a wifi printer anyway, and now I have got one coming!

fozziebeartoo

OMG - just realised that I could have treated myself to the wifi printer out of 3rdP, it was only £25!!!!!!!

The SP system has worked.......woohoo:j

And I have enough money for my 1st luxury treat of the
year :T

kerri_dfw

Well done Fozziebear that's great work

kerri_dfw

Ooh that's loads better now I have it all on one sheet instead of two which I have to switch between

According to my spreadsheet I have spent £455.10 and bought £1286.82 worth of goods, that's pretty impressive Although I only have £11.17 in my SP at the moment, so will stocktake later and find out how much I owe the SP

Stocktake done, I owe my purse £67.51

Mothership

I need a wifi printer too fozziebear I've seen one on am@zon For just over £40 can I ask where you got yours please? I've got enough in my 3rd Purse to pay for it, but it would mean I have to wait a little longer for my Fridge Freezer :eek::eek:

Kerri that was a great spend from @F well done!
