Went shopping in morrisons today and bout 3 big lenor fabric softenerss 83 washes each for £10. So that's 249 washes worth. Probably about a years worth there for me. They are usually £6.50 each so I saved £9.50. Very happy! x
Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

Anchor butter 500g Block and a 250g tub + Silicon cake cases and Dr Ottekers Butterfly cake decorations. £2.50 per pack.
That sounds like a fab deal!! Will have to have a look out for it!
Bought some Nutella from Lidl's which was on offer at £1.49. It used to be £2, but some places are charging £2.25 for it nowadays!! :eek: They're in Mossy's Market.
I've used up all of my clothes wash/softner and cereal so I need to find some good offers on those.
I think it was earlier this month, Mr T had some great offers on cereal but they had finished when I popped in the other day!Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!:starmod: Emergency Fund Savings - #148 - £10/£1000 1% :starmod::xmastree:#083 SPC6 £63 - SPC7 £90 - SPC8 £63 - SPC9 £54 - SPC10 £26 - SPC12 £70 :xmastree:0 -
Hi all!
I've been trying to get my head round the second purse system for a while and I think it's finally sunk in hooray!!! :j
I will update my signature in a minute but please could I be added to you lovely list of people....
I do usually have a stock cupboard for bits and bobs so hopefully it's just an extension of that for me, I'm looking forward to putting some money aside to have some family trips out over summer and Xmas as we are really struggling with one income right now and never seem to have enough money for many trips/days out.
Looking forward to meeting you all thanks for having meSecond purse £34.75/£50.00

been on a bit of a spending diet so now so I now have a bit of money in my second purse. So will do that for another week and start looking for some offers again next week. Think I might start being a bit more selective now! Although the butter one sounds like a great deal..........oh there I go again.
I do find it a bit addictive will have to tone it down a bit! ha haSecond Purse Challenge

I bought some more of the Nicky loo rolls that Mr M's selling for 69p and some washing liquid that they are selling off for £2.98 for 90 washes. Hope it works ok. There was another thread on here that mentioned it.
Updated signature. I've decided to try and make my second purse £100. I seem to be doing ok. Going to C0stc0 tomorrow so hopefully more bargains from there. Will let you know.

I opened a pack of the Nicky loo rolls today and they aren't anywhere near as good as the ones I bought in FF so really disappointed as they aren't such a bargain and I have eight packs altogether. Hope no one complains and I will still buy them back from Esther's Bagels at £1 a pack.
I've been to Costco but was late and didn't have much chance to look for bargains, just to get the few things I went in for. Will go again very soon.

Morning all. Got some freebies from the Quidco app yesterday in Mr M's. A packet of paxo stuffing and some weird little raspberry fruit buttons for DD. Paid for them but get the money back through Quidco. Also stocked up some bread 60p a loaf. Moving house soon so there is boxes everywhere. Just can't wait to have a bigger kitchen to get stocking up! I bought some cereal too half price. Saturday I'm going on a loo roll stock up from Home B**gains so will get a taxi home from town to carry it all! x
