Confusion with credit cards

Earlier this year I did a balance transfer to a Barclay card as there was an interest free offer. I didn't realise that this wouldn't apply to my purchases since then. :eek:

So now I owe £2800 that is coming out of it's interest free period soon. What can I do to avoid paying interest on this?

I'm sorry if this has been covered in previous threads.

    Pay it off if you have the money. If not do a further Balance Transfer to another CC and start saving hard so you are prepared for the end of the interest free period this time around.
