    Forgot to add:

    Total before multibuys/vouchers: £113.73 :D

    Thanks so much Mothership - before Second Purse I wouldn't have used a voucher like that as I wouldn't have had spare money to spend!!

    Hello everyone
    Asda have 32 Cushelle loo rolls for £10, I'm not sure if that's a bargain? but thought I'd mention it. I'm putting all the money I save from buying in bulk into my sealed pot so I should have a lovely surprise when I open it at Christmas :)

    £17 from Second Purse went on boring basics today but stuff I keep using and keep giving me a profit.

    I also owe SP for stuff from Sallys Stores but will wait till the end of the week to settle up.

    I noticed some more shelves hidden at the back of the 3rd bedroom the other day - think I need to try and drag them down stairs because Sallys Stores def needs to expand a bit!

    Mothership, I'm in Livingstone again next Tuesday/Wednesday. Going to be getting the train up and back again for a 21:30 - 07:00 shift. I can't remember how far away you said you were from there, but I remember you saying I needed to let you know next time I'm coming up :)

    Another £1.50 to the 3rd purse today, I settle up daily with myself (I'm a simple girl......). Slow and steady but inroads now being made.

    Morning!

    Just balanced the purses and have moved another £34.35 over to the 3rd purse. 2nd purse has the full £50 in it and I'm off to Co$tco tomorrow so will use that money for juice cartons, lucozade and loo roll. I fully expect to use most of the £50, but that's what it's there for right? :D

    Now have £60ish towards my kitchen aid whoop whoop :j

    Yep - that is exactly what it is there for.....

    But I STILL dont like spending out of SP :rotfl:

    But 3rd Purse I have no trouble spending out of....seen a nice summer dress I quite fancy getting :D
  • I've decided to keep my SP at £20, otherwise I will just buy too much stuff, that I just don't have the room for :o
    I did buy three fabric conditioners yesterday, HP at £1.68, buy back at £3.36

    Just updated my purse. I spent £31.69 this week in my stores, so 2nd purse now back up to £32.69. I will keep purse closed this week and hopefully, the balance should now begin to grow.

    I've nearly spent 50% of my grocery budget in my own store this week - it's working Mothership!!:T
