Second Purse Challenge 2012

jakes-mum

went to Mr W today as needed sausages and I much prefer their 'Gourmet' ones off the meat counter to the prepacked cac from Mr C, walk up to the counter and they have them on 25% off :j :j . . . so I bought 30 :rotfl: though when I got home I actually have 34 :huh: think the young lad serving lost count bless him

So have wrapped them all up in sets of 3 and popped them into the freezer, they work out at 28p a sausage so will buy back at 40p each

Also got a pack of 6 pork chops for £3, 4 burgers for £2.26 and 4 chicken portions for £4.06 from Mr C. Not the cheapest but we literally had DR mince in the freezer and nowt else, plus I had a £6 off £40 spend so it did to bump my shopping up

Need to go to Mr T this weekend as Jake and I are both out of cereal and Mr T are the only shop round here that sell the one I like plus still looking for some taco kits on offer, another ham for my slicer oh and some diced chicken for curries if its cheap enough, hoping once ive done that I wont need to shop again for a few weeks

A useless bit of information which I will share with my lovely 2nd pursers on this Friday morning, but crisps always run out of their sell by date on a Saturday :D

Thanks for that MM but strangely CAZCO were selling Dorito$ which really needed to be used up on a Friday when I went in there last night :rotfl:

Off on a 10km walk today - annual church event. No doubt CAZCO will provide some sustinance on the way

It is such a nice afternoon, I took the SP out for a walk this afternoon - we were looking for YS's but zilch worth getting but did get some bits for Sallys Stores.

2 x 6 diet pepsi in Lidl @ £1.39 buy back at £2.50

And in Tesco Express (with the aid of £3 off £11 spend - the 1st Tesco till spit I have EVER had )!!

3 x 9 Andrex @ £2.50 buy back at £3.50

Got a few bits from Mr A for my shop today as made a trip to collect some baby event items I had ordered.

Philad€lphi@ light 300g £1.00 each BB £1.70
Mu||er light Greek style 25p each BB 35p
P@sta n sauce 50p each BB 90p ( only got these ready for quick easy lunch when baby is here!)

I also got some fab deals on baby wipes which while I've not been buying these out of my SP (DH gave me a big load of cash at Xmas to buy "anything we need for baby" so buy everything out of that) I'm going to put 50p per pack into SP. For most baby wipes this is less then they actually cost but as I didn't buy them from SP in first place I'm not too bothered. When I start buying them out of SP I will of course pay more than I actually paid!

My wipes today were an absolute bargain though... 9 x p@mp€rs for £3.50!!

Hey everyone!

It's been a great week for second pursing :T I really am getting to a saturation point in terms of 'stock'. The value of my stock stands at £1737.07 and there is £49.86 in my second purse. I have managed to transfer across £33.32 this week! So I've early got enough for the garden furniture Maybe next week...!

Thank you again to you all for your inspiration, and especially to mothership

Wow - £1737.07 of stock - how have you managed that? I thought I was doing well - over £400 of stock but bearing in mind I've only put in £55 of real money.......... obviously still got some way to go.......

Well, I had a lot in the house already before I started this challenge, as I have always tried to bulk buy wherever possible, but this challenge has just focussed things and given the bulk buying a bit more purpose.

And... I stockpile everything, bubble bath, make up, washing powder. I think I can make my money stretch further in all directions if I do this as there are always offers on products that I buy & I previously would have just bought the one as I wouldn't have had the free cash to buy the second to get the third free. But I really, really, really am running out of room now :rotfl:

My SP is nearly up to the magic £50 threshold again and it's nearly payday

I'm going to withdraw any surplus on payday then put in an order for more catfood as we've only got two bags left (Cat #2's sensitive stomach has put an end to 99p Aldi catfood and this stuff is more like £5 per kilo!!) which will take the SP down to about a tenner :eek: That being said, the Fresian Foods cupboard is groaning at the seams, so I think it will soon replenish itself.

Today I'm menu planning for the week and will then be writing out my shopping list for payday - a lot of which will be bought from Fresian Foods, saving me money at the same time, hurrah
