    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 £110.09

    Stock items used during the month £26.17
    New end of October purse balance £136.26
    Stock balance £170.98

    Last 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.

    Thank you @boultdj 👋 I also heard Morries have lamb legs but don’t tend to get there often. Will check out T’s.

    If you can get to a FarmFoods @Coxy11 they've got 4 tins of tuna for £2.49. Your nearest is probably Canterbury if you've got any plans to go there in the next few days as this offer is only for 5 days!
