Hi everyone - I spotted a deal in Iceland this morning which I think is quite good:

2 for £3 on 500g Cruncy Nut Crnflks and 2 for £3 on r1ce kr1spies which are 510g

Welcome Stephie hope you have fun with a 2nd purse

I am contemplating a DR order so if anyone wants to let me know more about ordering from them pm me as I haven't registered yet

I got a little lost this week moving things from stock so i think little stock check is in order

Have a good weekend all

hello everyone

Well i've got my spreadsheet totally confused :eek: I'd put a new row in for 2nd purse but had been counting 2nd purse spends into grocery budget up till i did this :eek: so it looked like i had spent loads on every day groceries which for once i hadn't lol. I am completely confused with it so i will leave it as it is. Next month i will start seperating spends properly!! that's the plan anyway lol, i've even written down on my diary all my savings pots & what is going into them so i have it written down lol. I will crack this..........!

Oh and i visited mum yesterday and had a wander round her local lidl her & dh think i am officially crackers but hey ho they don't complain when they want something and I have it in stock

Welcome to all the new peeps

I went SM cruising this afternoon, that's the term I'm coining for going from one to the next Have come back with 5 blocks of organic butter £1.50 each (I know it's not the cheapest but...erm....I didn't want Mr T own brand AND it only had salt + milk),
4 x 1.5kg plain mcdougals flour @ £1.10,
4 x 1.5kg self-raising (same brand) @ £1.10,
2 x allinsons strong bread flour 3kg @ £2.00
1 x cloudy lemonade 2ltr @ 54p

so this afternoon/evening I've made a loaf of bread in my slow cooker, and two jars of lemoncurd mmm mmm mmm. The mcwatshisface flour was on offer. I will charge myself £3 a jar of lemoncurd as it's organic, which cost me about £1.50 to make two, one is now in the fridge... the other in the freezer.

Why is it cloudy lemonade @54p tastes better than the 2 for £2 clear stuff? Surely they have that wrong.

Hi Everyone :wave:

I've kept up with all your posts, thanks for all the tips of offers in the supermarkets.

C0$tco have a decent offer on washing powder at the moment - Buy Persil Bio/Non Bio/Colour (100 wash) or Persil 2 in 1 (90 wash) and get a free 5 litre Comfort Pure or Comfort Sunshine fabric conditioner. The washing powder is on offer at £12.36 inc vat.

As I'm building up my stockpile at the moment and not buying so much from my own shop (The Tardis) I don't seem to be getting any nearer the magic £100 when I can transfer money into my 3rd purse. Currently I have spent £95.50, have a stock value of £122.75 and a balance in my 2nd purse of £22.75. I know the balance will tip more in my favour soon though and can see the benefits of doing things this way.

And following Mothership's advice and posts I've also ordered a copy of Superfoods from the Rainforest for 1p plus postage as I suffer from TATT (tired all the time) and I feel that a better diet will help me.
