Second Purse Challenge 2012

rachbc

ahh free AF delivery has put my purse £10 in the red but I'll buy back that this week I'm sure. reckon there is at least £50 profit on my spend so its all good - evne buying back at less than sm prices.

Just need to build up a little cash to buy some more twinnings tea whilst its a good price and some lidl sausages this weekend and I'm good for a while I think - then I really must stop buying!

Will have to hide it from oh though!!

I have just looked at my 2nd purse spreadsheet and I am definitely not allowed to go food shopping for several months (other than fresh fruit/veg ). My current stock level is over £2300 :eek::eek::eek: and I've spent just under £670. Non-food items are worth £375.25 when I've paid myself back for them.....and I have no more room for any food!!! The food I've bought cost me £470.84.

No wonder I don't have to go to the supermarket anymore!

can somone send me the spreadsheet dodah - I'm loosing track of my stock and what I'm suppossed to be buying it back for!

ta muchly

just a quick tip - and indeed thought - I have started writing on my freezer bags of meat if they are SP pruchases and how much I owe for them so I can keep track - would it be terribly sad to start writting on the other dry goods packets in sharpie/ labeling like a proper shop?

Well kerri that's amazing. I have gotten to the stage this week that I do not need to go shopping, except for bread. It's a hard habit to break though when you are used to shopping every week tho, isn't it? Mind you my stock level isn't as impressive as yours though, that's brilliant:T:T

Good idea about writing on the packets, but if you use the spreadsheet (on page 1) then there is a column which you can put the prices you buy back on what item. Good luck

Kerri - can I ask you a question as I think you might be the person who knows the answer to this as you buy lots of cake mixture from AF!

I have chocolate cake/muffin mix but it doesn't have any instructions on how to use it - do you know?

Many thanks

Hi MunniMuncha, do you know what brand it is? I can have a look at the stuff I have and see if it comes with destructions. I saw you post on another board about it, but I forgot to ask you there as I read it late last night.

Rachbc if you could pm me with your email address I will send you my current second purse spreadsheet (please don't be scared by the contents of it though, it does have instructions too). For some reason I can't upload it to goggle docs grrr.

Second Purse bought 6 x handwash and 18 diet pepsi to go in Sallys Stores for a total of £8 today, so SP down to £12 now.

My SP is nearly at £40 now, so I will be able to add to the third purse on payday

My stocks are looking good, especially for things like teabags and soup. This weekend I'm doing very light shopping only as I have less than £20 of food money and get paid on Friday. I just need to make sure that I buy lactose-free milk while it's still on Asda and hide it from Mr Fresian somehow so he doesn't drink four litres in two days again. I could cheerfully strangle him some days

Free delivery code is spr12e3530 but I can't see a code for any discount other than that
