Jealous!

Cazco is going to need new premises soon.....have almost filled the 800mm wide kitchen cupboard, plus bottom of my wardrobe (loo rolls) and the fridge/freezer in the garage. DH still thinks I'm barking mad.......

I will happily email it to you - the original is in excel

I'm going to try and work on a macro in the near future that should keep things much nicer. I'll be doing it as and when I can but will share it on here whenever I get there :cool:

Hiding rows shouldn't affect your formulas x

Yes please HP - that would be great - haven't got a clue what a macro is, but would love to see it as and when it is ready!:D

Spent £26.40 (full price would have been £70.66) of SP money tonight on ys foods and just looked at my receipt and noticed that I bought 2 x peri peri chicken breasts for £1.44 each (at full price they were 2 for £6 or £3.60 per pack) so I also had £2 off my bill - therefore cost of 4 pp chicken breasts for £1.20 - woohoo! Total of SP now stands at £35.22.

I love this second pursing malarkey :T:T:T:T

I am finally getting somewhere, got home last night and OH said (very straight faced) I have taken some deodorant and washing up liquid from your shop :eek::eek::eek:

I spent an amazing £18.60 in Mr M's on 1st purse items, when I think back I used to spend £70-80 I am totally shocked, did noticed they have hiked their prices again, somethings as much as 10p so I reckon my shop would have been a £1 cheaper last week and that was just on £18 quids worth, they are g!ts

Anyway on a lighter note I have taken £29.65 out of stock at a shop cost of £66.91 to me which gives me a profit of £37.26 this week :j
So 2nd purse stands at £100.22 and 3rd purse at £70

PS just watch your YS perishables, bought 15p bread on thursday, didn't realise it was out of date, took a sarnie to work yesterday..............2 tiny mouldy bits on the crust, OH said what did you do in a horrified way..................doh took the crust off !!!! At that point he shook his head and told me I was getting bad....Am I ???? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Think I may be getting a bit too over the top with the 2nd purse thing at the moment. Just spent £7.99 on 150 mr freeze ice pops, I love em. In my defence, whenever I buy chocolate from the 2nd purse it still gets eaten straight away. At least with these I can only have a couple at a time, makes me feel like a kid again. It's just a shame they have arrived only for the weather to get miserable again, oh well.

Well today is my first proper SP grocery shopping day and I'm very excited! I spent a good 2 hours yesterday writing out my shopping list, what I'm getting from each shop, how much it's going to cost, what I'm going to buy from MY shop and what that should make SP balance! I love writing lists, I'm such a saddo! Ive just finished a very busy 15 hour night (overtime so £££££!) shift at work and usually all I want to do is mong on sofa afterwards but I can't wait to hit the SM!

It's going to be an expensive week this week for me though as typically my cleaning stuff, DH's deodorant and hair gel and a few other higher cost items have run out. Found some good offers though and will use SP to buy more then one and puts extras in the shop. Still umm-ing and aah-ing whether to use one of any offer I get not putting money into SP or putting them all in and paying SP for the one that will be used straight away. If that makes sense?!

Wish me luck for my first proper week SP-ers! Ooh, and I have a name for my shop....Magic Monkey's or MM for short!

Did not find any baragins today, but brought in Mr T Thir*t P*ckets kitchen 2 roll £1.00 but on the back there is a free childs ticket to Longlet, it says save £19.50, must be used with a full paying adult, child 3-14 yrs, valid until 31/12/12 , so might be of some use to those who can get there, good for us as it not far.

Have a good weekend.:)

Ooh sounds like you're very organised. Second pursing can get really addictive! There are a few of us on here that are list-addicts

If I buy things on offer I put all of those items into Cazco then pay as I use them. Obviously if it's something you need right now and things are tight then I would just use the one you need, put the remainder in the 'shop' and pay for them as you use them. If they are on offer you will still be getting more for your money in the long term.

This is the kind of thing I look for, for my shop Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara £7.99 on 3 for 2 at B@@ts total cost £15.98. You get £15.00 worth of points back so the 3 mascaras cost you 98p.
I bought 9 x3 for me and for each of my daughters. £45 worth of points, if you redeem these points on only HP or B1G1F offers in boots you can double that up to £90. I got a similar deal on foundation last year.

Hi mothership

I just wanted to thank you for telling everyone on this thread about this deal back in Feb. I bought 3 mascaras on the B2G1F so paid £24.93 including delivery, when I collected my points yesterday I have been given £30 worth of points so I actually made £5.07 profit

I am very pleased.

Well I think my first proper SP grocery shop week went well :j My purchases for MM's were:

Mr T
2 x my deodorant...2 for £3.50 buy back at £3.05 each
2 x DH's roll on...2 for £3.50 buy back at £2.75 each

Mr S
2 x Dett0l surface cleanser...BOGOF for £2.99 plus a £1.00 coupon so only £1.99! buy back at £2.99 each
2 x C1ll1t Bang BOGOF for £3.05 buy back at £3.05 each
2 x Fl@$h wipes...BOGOF for £2.80 buy back at £2.80 each
2 x Lore@l hair wax...2 for £4.00 buy back at £3.57 each
2 x DH's spray deo...BOGOF for £3.19 buy back at £3.19

With other bits and pieces I already had stashed from last week and before I found out about the fab SP, I've already got a really good stock. I'm hoping next week after buying some cleaning products from MM's this week, I'll be able to get a few more food bits in the stock to build it up!

I'm loving this and got far too excited when filling in my spreadsheets and balancing it with my purses/receipts!
