Second Purse and I are virtually throbbing in anticipation!!

Thanks Fozzie - I just spat my tea all over the computer!

Kerri and Mothership - I agree about sm meat, I had IBS for years and still can't eat sm pork. I haven't tried DR yet (the 2nd purse is empty until next month!:o) but I really want to as soon as I can. You're really selling it to me!:D

chelseabun - honestly I've never eaten meat like it, definitely worth it when you have the codes for discounts and free delivery mmm mmm mmm.

mothership - ooh will have to try that, although I don't eat oatmeal, but I've got oat bran in my suma museli I was cooking from scratch the other day and was thinking about how I was putting sugar in to change the taste of my food because it was too hot, how much crud must the SM put into the our food grrr.

Hi everyone! Just managed to sort out my purses. I have been away, so it all got a bit confusing, but I'm sorted now. I need to have a fairly large shop later today, so things will probably change yet again. Hope there are going to be some good offers.

I am thrilled with the amount in my 3rd purse! Can't believe how quickly it's grown:j
Hope everyone else is doing ok!

Amazon have a 40% off on Tefal Actifrys. I don't know how long the offer is on for, I only heard today. HTH someone.

Yes it's quite normal JM - I can't wait to eat all the ham that I sliced from 2 weeks ago just so I can have another go. The way it has worked we haven't had a proper roast dinner since getting it (and am away again this weekend, so it won't happen then) so haven't even had the opportunity to use it on other meat

Thanks for the heads up MB, but have now decided a BM is more advantageous at the moment, so hopefully by the time I get round to saving enough for my actifry the offer will be on again:D

I picked up a Lidl leaflet yesterday and they have a Food Slicer available from 17th May at £44.99 - it says you can see a product video at their website.

I only cut what I need each day, just so I can use it everyday

Did my Mr S shop today and am very pleased that my GB only paid him £14.96 :T

I'm getting even more switched on to SP-ing now I think. For example I quite often buy their 3 for £10 meat deal but will also just buy items separately if I don't need the 3 that week. Last month i just paid £10 out of my GB if i did this or whatever the cost of the 1 or 2 items. This week I only need 2 meats but did the 3 for £10 deal and put one in freezer. I'll charge myself £4 per item making myself £2 profit. I started off thinking that unless I'm making a 50% profit on my SP items it wasn't worth it but now starting to realise that it doesn't matter how much profit it is, it's still profit at the end of the day!

I'm also being a bit more sensible with my buy back prices. If I wouldn't of paid RRP for it at SM normally I'm not paying RRP to my SP. E.g. I would normally buy whatever cooking sauce was on offer so am pricing my cooking sauce at somewhere between the offer price and the RRP. Things that's I'd only ever buy that item of I'm still charging RRP as I would spend that anyway.

I'm hoping that this month now I've got my head around it all a bit more I'll end up with a nice profit in my SP!
