Yep £11.21 into your purse I need to update my shop prices, I think I'm going to go by the best offer price so I only ever pay what I would in the shops too

No idea if this counts or not, but I'm about to order a kinder from the rainforest for the OH, I've earnt £85 in vouchers from various point earning sites, and I've found they have a refurbed one in stock for under £80.... so I get a £149 one completely free although I don't have the funds to put this into my 2nd purse just yet, I will spread that over the next few months. I've also found a 5 litre extra virgin oil for 50p/100g which I'm going to buy. All free delivery and I will get nectar if it goes through properly this time (never does).

Are your ouchers only for the rainforest? (Cant tell you how many times I read it before I clicked who that was) The reason I ask is Mr T has a voucher on the site that would get you the kinder for just under £70.I bought mine last week after threatening for months-and then the offer became available yesterday.

Thank you for the link last night to shorters.I have a trolley of £69 waiting to check out tomorrow (payday). I used Mr T's to work out what to pay Polkadot Palace for this stock...it'll also come in handy when I start working again...Im a cake decorator so the prices on stuff like lour and sugar is fab:D

ETA: Your olive oil...not sure if these are "the best deal" but we prefer to stick to this size bottle and if my maths is right its 49p/100ml http://www.shortersclub.co.uk/products/25516-filippo-berio-extra-virgin-olive-oil-250ml-pack-of-6.aspx

I'm very annoyed because I opened the reply window to say something important (I'm sure), spilt my drink on my keyboard, did some work (:eek:) and now I can't remember what I was going to say :mad: Ah well....

lol Sometimes I've opened a reply window and forgotten what I was going to say without spilling a drink. Well done you I say :T



I'm off to C0stc0 after work so will report back with anything interesting later.

They are only for the rAinforest, I've been earning them through cashback and survey sites. OH wanted the keyboard one which is twice as expensive as I had planned, so got him the refurbed one (few scratches nothing else apparently).

Some of the things on shorters aren't that much cheaper, but it does look very good. I can go to the CnC as I can get to Wimbledon for collection so I might use it next month.

Not sure if this counts, but I want to be able to see savings I make everywhere so I will count it.... I just ordered 12 months supply of contact lenses £14.25 each down to £9.17 each, so have passed the £110 through the 2nd purse, so that when I need the lenses I have to buy them off myself I used the £110 I had in my pots for this purpose so not technically 2nd purse money. Saying that though, I put my free theatre tickets through it the other day so the 2nd purse was up £20 for that

I just saw your post about the olive oil from Mr A so have changed my shopping list entry. Im also able to get to wimbledon fairly easily.

Where are you getting you contacts from? DH gets his at boots and is paying £30 a month-Id love to get that down.

I get mine from contactlenses.co.uk I have continuous wear ones but don't go to the optician (probably should) as my eyesight hasn't changed in years. I can wear mine overnight, but I always take them out at night and just get my solution from the SMs.

I am compiling a spreadsheet with all the offers on as it looks like they're getting duplicated, it has brand, item name, price, price per 100g, normal price Can you tell I'm bored in work?
