fozziebeartoo

Just taken a few bits out of Sallys Stores to replace stuff I am just about to run out of.....so a 2nd sort out of SP in one day!

Diet Pepsi bought @ £1.39 paid £2.50
Kitchen Roll bought @ 17p paid 50p
Andrex x 9 bought @ £2.00 paid £3.50
Cornetto bought @ 38p paid £1.00
Icecream for pudding paid 50p

SP already has its £30 balance so the £8 goes straight in my 3rd Purse making £79 :T

He everyone. Well done everyone with your SP challenge.

I think I am going to bow out if you don't mind. I think that I will carry on doing what I do by buying offers when I see them like detergent and fabric conditioner.

I want to clear my debt by xmas 2012 and I have had to find money for 2 school trips. Over £580, £520 by April 2013. I feel guilty if I can't commit 100% so am not entirely giving up. Hope you don't mind and thanks for having me.;)

Good luck with getting debt free and saving up for the school trips!! :T

Love, love, love Second Pursing!! :T

All sorts of everything is running out at the same time, but I have all I need in Sallys Stores, so can give the money to ME and not the SM's :j

But why does it all run out at the same time????

Loo rolls for downstairs, toothpaste, handwash, fabric conditioner etc etc all in the space of a couple of days

Good luck with your debt busting and saving for school trips mumof3plusoh - see you on the debt busting thread!

I think I'm going to have to bow out of the challenge too. I'm trying my hardest to cut back on grocery expenditure in order to help pay off our debts, especially seeing as my DH's job is disappearing and although he's managed to get a new one, he'll be on less money and travel costs will be higher.

I have learnt so much from you all about special offer buying and saving money so thanks very much :T. I'm just finding that I can't afford to pay my 2nd purse back what I paid for things and the extra that I would have paid the sm. Also, I haven't got room in my house or freezer for lots of bulk buying which I know is where the real savings come in. So I'm going to have a weekly amount that I put into a 2nd purse specifically for buying special offers when I see them and work it like that.

Thank you very much for your help and support and I hope to join the challenge again in the future when my finances are in better shape and I'm trying to save money up rather than pay debts off. Good luck to you all - some of you I know I'll see anyway in other threads

Ahh Mrs A and Mumof3, sorry to see you go but understand ho whard this challenge is when your debt busting as well, I am considering having a period of not having a 3rd purse at all and just buying back my offer stuff at cost price but am just about keeping up so am leaving that idea on the back burner for if we start to struggle.

Will still see you both on the DFBXmas thread so its not goodbye, and you can always come on and post any deals you find even if your not actively SP'ing
