Good Morning!

Can I join in please? :D

Yes of course! Just let me know what your 'shop' is called and what your luxury item/target will be and I'll add you to the list

So pleased you like it Coxy11
One of the things I like about the system is you always have food and money in one purse or another.

I've still not bought my new fridge freezer yet. I've not had a minute.

I checked my wee ISA the other day £32 interest for a year on 6K not very much lol.

Hi Mothership! Lovely to hear from you. You're right of course. I now always have stock and money available. It takes a while to build up, but when you do, it's amazing. £32 interest - not too bad. Tax free at least! Take care.

Hi all,

Usual Friday update

Paid 2nd purse back for items used this week - £33.20.

Off to Ts in a bit for some food and I noticed online that they have D0ve shampoo on offer so may well buy some for stock. I have been using a different brand, but despite it being for 'added moisture' my hair still feels as dry as a bone

Off to Co$tco on Monday so will need some cash for juice cartons, loo roll (only 3 left in stock :eek:) and washing liquid.

Totals now:
2nd purse: £60.27/£50
3rd purse: £84.88
Stock total: £159.60

Still waiting for the jeweller to phone saying my bracelet charms are in. Total will be £66 from 3rd purse. Need to think about what to save for next :cool:

Have a good day.

Have started to do a re-stock take as got slightly lost somewhere. Have put it all in a spread sheet with a note as to where everything is so hope to keep on top of this now.

2nd purse: £50/£50
3rd purse: £10/£50
Stock total: £133.56

Hi again,

Just added our newest member and have noticed that out of 68 members there are only about a handful of us still posting.

If you want to still appear on the list please can you post on here before the end of April to let me know.

Thanks

Good Morning:D

I'm starting from scratch here with my shop, and I've picked up 3xboxes DAZ 45 wash powder £4 each from Tesco and Wyke farm mature cheddar buy 1 get 2 free from the co op I got 6 of those and paid for 2. I've grated and bagged 4 packs and frozen it.

I think this system will be great for me as I resent paying full price for stuff, and the second purse means I can take advantage of good offers, also when my kids are home from uni, we go through everything at a really alarming rate.:eek:

Hi all,

Well done dollydog on your first purchases. I too got 6 of the cheese, but I paid using my grocery (1st) purse as I'm in debt to 2nd purse already :rotfl:

Make sure you do a regular stock take once you've built up your stock. I find things go missing sometimes - Mr Nobody lives with us - so I make a check every couple of weeks.

Just to add that I (finally) got my charms for my bracelet today. DH ordered them at the beginning of March but the jeweller only just got them in. £66 from 3rd purse, so have adjusted totals.

What to save up for next?
