Second Purse Challenge Thread #2

Coxy11

Hi everyone,

Welcome back Kerri

Paid 2nd purse back today. This week we used £25.90 of stock.

I had a DR brochure through with details of their 'sale'. Have placed an order to arrive Saturday 19th - £60 - which is their slow cooking pack (2 x steak mince, 2 x stewing steak, 1 x beef rib trim, 1 x beef shin, pack of bones for stock), 4 x lamb mince plus 48 beef meatballs.

Went to MrA today and got dog food on offer at £8/bag - will pay back £10.

Sig updated. Stay safe and warm everyone and just think, our stores will come in handy if snow hits

Did anyone see the toilet roll offer in the weekly email?

18 rolls in Mr T for £2.50! Think it was N0uvelle. So 13.9p/roll. Never found cheaper than 31p before so might have to make a special trip... :cool:

It's okay but I expect it's not as comfy on your bot bot as cushelle

My local evil empire only had the 9 roll packs rather than the 9 and 9 free at £2.50...boo hoo!!

Talking of the evil empire had to pop in and pick up some calpol for DD. Looked on the cereal aisle as they often have a good deal and they had 500g shreddies for £1.04 and cheerios for £1.14. I picked up a packet of each from Mossy's Market. I also had a 60p off coupon for shreddies for MrT so they only cost me 44p boo ya!! :dance:

I'm trying to work out who the evil empire are?!?!
I spied L1dl were doing an offer this week, so I have 48 rolls at my parents for when I next take the car down that'll do for another few months. Dad got some too, so did my sister :T:T:T 96 loo rolls between us, and somehow I ended up paying for them all!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share that I've decided what I'm saving 3rd purse savings for next

I have a Pand0ra bracelet and charms, which I've been adding to over the last 18 months or so (thanks DH for birthdays/Christmas) and today I purchased a matching necklace with money that I'd saved in £2 coins in a sealed pot in 2012. Happy days.

Whilst in the jewellers (local independent) I noticed a new range of bracelets from Italy called N0mination. They are lovely and I took a brochure home. I am therefore going to be saving 3rd purse funds for a base bracelet plus my initials, but in the nautical alphabet - like little flags - in enamel. Really sweet. Think I'm going to need about £80 for that.

Hope you don't mind me sharing

Hi everyone,

Spends from CAZCO this week total £30.70. Second purse was in the red due to doing another DR order, arriving tomorrow, weather-permitting

2nd purse now has £15
3rd purse is at zero

Will keep plugging away - won't be long before I can hopefully move some funds over

Hope you're all doing okay.
