For this particular shop it was a £10 voucher I won for the 99p shop and a £10 love2shop voucher left over from the £100 I got when I changed my electric which I used in Wilkins0ns :rotfl:

But other vouchers I get off the coupons board, facebook or just writing to the companies when im not happy, or to praise them when I like their product

Cheers for that

:eek: no-ones posted since me at 5:19 last night :eek: where are you all???

Been on a Mr A shop today and spent a fair bit of money on SOS stock

Bought today:

6 x Medium Chickens on 3 for £10, sold 2 to my mum and cut one up into 4 chicken breasts and 2 big chicken legs.
So
3 x whole chickens cost £3.33 - buy back at £4
4 x Chicken Portions cost 50p :eek: - buy back at £1
2 x Chicken Legs cost 67p - buy back at £1

2 x 160 bags tetley teabags with 50% extra free cost £3 - buy back at £4
15 x 6 packs of walk*rs Crisps cost £1 - buy back £1
20 x mars/bountys cost 25p - sell to kids at 40p
3 x aero bars cost 33p - sell to kids at 40p
6 x Milky Bars cost 15p - Sell to kids at 20p
24 x Sausages cost 33p - sell back at 40p
Big pack of frying steak, cubed and portioned into 3 cost 85p - buy back at £1

So ended up donating another £40 to the SP but My freezer is no packed out again so im happy.

Bought a couple of bits with my GB and the weeks shop has ended up at £50.02 (darn you 2p!! :rotfl:) so a good week GB as well :j :j

Loads of adding up and taking money in and out of purses and accounts for me today!

Have to pay the decorator but managed to scrap together more than 1/2 the cost from various accounts and therefore used a lot less of my savings than expected. VERY pleased and couldnt have done it without MSE!! :T

Now I am attempting the April GC as well as SPing, I am having to write everything down, save receipts etc.....I have to say it is very good for concentrating the mind when you look at a PILE of receipts and it's only the middle of the month! :rotfl:

Today SP bought more diet pepsi and Colgate from Lidl - neither were needed but since I buy both back at a good profit for SP, I thought it was worth adding the stock.

And Sallys Stores had supplied loads of stuff and saved me many trips to the SM's so £21 to be paid to ME by ME instead of Sainsbugs

Currently back to my full £20 in SP and now have £69 in 3rd purse!

I dont think I added my £10 this month.....cant decide whether to do that each month and therefore increase SP limit from its current self imposed £20 or just stick to the £20 float.....

Is everyone else still increasing the amount of their float in SP each month?

Sorted out my 3rd purse a bit and now have £8.63 in there its building up nicely again :j

Im still adding the £10 a month to the 2nd purse with the hope that one day I might actually have the £100 mothership recommends . . unfortunately theres so many good deals out there I keep spending it all . . . and a bit more

rachbc

I'm adding £10 a month - my purse is in the red at the mo but hopefully not for long!

MunniMuncha

Yep me too - I'm still adding £10 pm to SP.:p

Like you Jakes-mum, don't know if I'll ever get to the stage where I have £100 in my SP as once money in there, I find more bargains :j:j

AlwaysHappy

I'm the same - adding £10 per month to the purse,but as yet nothing in my 3rd purse - keep on buying more stock. That should change this month as trying to run the freezer down a little to make way for my D R order - had to put it back a fortnight as there was no room in the freezer (oops) but the order is paid for which is a good thing. Happy 3rd pursing everyone.

Hiya everyone, have read lots of posts on this thread, and just wanna check my understanding....
Purse one is Grocery budget, purse two for offers (add £10 per month) and purse three is surplus (when purse two reaches £100)
Buy offers using purse two, buy back using purse one when you use them, at full price, not offer price....

Save lots of money
