Hello everyone,
I’ve been thinking of reviving the Second Purse Challenge for a while and a post by @Frugalistamama spurred me on.
For those who don’t know about this way of grocery budgeting, I’ve linked the original posting by @Mothership below.
I intend to set aside £30 of my monthly food budget to look for bargains to stock my Second Purse shop. Not so many BOGOF bargains these days, but there are SM offers occasionally plus of course YS goods, Olio and TGTG bags plus Approved Food short-dated stockists.
Not sure what I’ll put the savings towards but in the past I’ve purchased a KitchenAid mixer, ski wear for the family and a Nomination bracelet and charms for myself. It takes a bit of time to shop around but it is worth it.
