Second Purse Challenge 2012

Coxy11

Evening all,

2nd purse is now back in the black!!

4 boxes of Weeto$ purchased yesterday from MrS - HP at £1.25 for the large family boxes We have also bought 3 meals worth of DR meat this week from CAZCO, so things have balanced out.

Don't expect to be up to the magic £100 float again anytime soon, but doing okay. Not a lot of room in my 'premises' and need to rejig some stock tomorrow, when I'm home alone.

Still loving the system :T

Well disaster has struck today the 13th:mad: I have accidentally dropped and smashed the inner door of my new cooker. I could have cried. Just loads of tiny pieces and it went with such a bang. Unfortunately it will cost me £52 to replace it including delivery so I am afraid I will have to use some of the money from my 3rd purse for this. I will just have to wait a little longer for my new shower unit:( Sorry about this but I don't really have any other option.

Added to this my 2nd purse has gone into the red because I bought too many stock items on Wednesday Evening:(. So somewhat of a set back at the moment. I have yet to update my signature.

Ba*ed Be*ns were back on offer 2x4 for £3 at MrS. Also Det*ol handwash for £1.

Ahh Eliza, at least you had the money there to pay for the glass

Been to Mr T today and spent £58 :eek: had a £7 off £50 spend, bought quite a bit for SOS including 2 of the heinz fridge packs that were 96p each, they can be kept in the fridge for 5 days and as we get through a fair few tins a week they worked out cheaper than the tins
Had to pay full price for my taco shells :eek: was not happy at all, especially as they had all the other el pas0 stuff on half price

I also managed to get 2 huge pizzas from the reduced section for £1.35 each which I have cut in half before freezing, so thats 4 dinners for DH (just have to make a few chippies to go with them )

Ive gone over my weekly budget again, BUT I now have enough different meats in the freezer to make meals every night for about 3 weeks :eek:

Tonights dinner is being provided for by CAZCO. We are having thai red curry made with chicken breast, Sharwood$ curry paste (bb Nov 2010) and U.Bens rice (bb Mar 2012).

If I survive I will report back tomorrow on how it was :rotfl:

Just popped on to say signature updated. Second purse looks a bit grim but at least I have loads of stock items. Third purse reflects the debit for the broken oven door:( At least I had the money though and I still have a good starter left towards my new shower unit:)

I am hoping for a NSD today, so no bargains to find, but I will need a tiny shop tomorrow.

Right, I'm going to do a different method of updating that front page... If I haven't thanked your post, then I've not updated you yet I keep getting lost and then backtracking through 3 pages and I'm sure I'm missing people.

I can update my total in a few days time I must say the lovely sheets I bought on discount are definitely luxurious and feel super duper as they were knocked down by so much

Had a friend come and visit for a couple hours today and as she had pulled some muscles in her back I gave her a lift home which just happens to be near a Mr M so would of been rude not to pop in and see if there were any good bargains!

They had W€ight W@tchers 4 packs of yogurts 1/2 price at 75p so got a couple of them for the fridge. I would normally buy these full price so going to buy back at 35p a yogurt.

A trip to Mr T earlier in the week saw a purchase of cake bars at 10p each BB at 20p
500g wholewheat pasta 47p BB 80p (got 4 as great to keep in cupboard for easy meals when baby bump makes their appearance!)

I've got some serious clever stealth like shopping to organise this week, I got a 3000 (£15!) n€cater points on first online shop of £75 or more coupon as well as a £10 off £50 online shop coupon that came with my baby club magazine this morning. I've also noticed that if you spend £100 you get free delivery tues, weds or thurs. I've never done online groceries before as I'm a bit sad and like walking around the SM :rotfl:

I was planning on buying a load of extra bits next week anyway to batch cook some meals for freezer in preparation for imminent arrival of bump, so am going to sit and work out all the extras stuff I need to get, any deals that I can get for stock cupboard and what I would of got from Mr S anyway then however far short of £100 I'm going to put in a few bottles of wine to take balance up for free delivery. I've discovered previously that if I take any alcohol back I get a refund but no deduction of n€ctar points.
A nice sneaky way to get £15 of points and £10 off my shopping :T

It must be loads of work to try and keep on top of the front page Kerri - most people seem to have totals in their signature, so why not give yourself a break from keeping up with the front page totals?

I think it's a good idea aswell. I for one am more than happy to keep my non existend 3rd purse total in my sig. It would definately save you the faff.
