Eeek I seem to be the only one still doing this!
October update for my Second Purse:
Items bought for stock during October £67.76
Amount leftover £110.09Stock items used during the month £26.17
New end of October purse balance £136.26
Stock balance £170.98Last month I did an Amazon order and bought:
90 x Andrex loo roll - £16.88 per 45 roll pack which was the same as my previous order in August. Have just looked and they are now up to £22.99/pack - buy back 38p/roll
6 x Plenty kitchen roll - £10 - buy back £1.75
48 x Pepsi Max* - £8.38 per 24 can slab - buy back 35p/can
24 x Pepsi Max Cherry* - as above
*hoping some of this will survive until Christmas. DS2 gets through a fair bit and cheaper than buying in the SM on a weekly basis.
This month I will need:
Tuna
Yorkshire Teabags
Meat offers - say this most months but they are few and far between and even YS products are either still too expensive or wouldn't feed our household of 4.
