They're on Quidc0 at 7%, which seem to be the rate that was achieved

I have wanted to try it for ages - can anyone put me right????

Try going straight into the website and type in the search box, there's a few different mince offers, but persevere its worth it. Its a good place to start if you've not ordered from them before.

I meant to say in my last post DONT order their meal packs, they are a waste of money. I ONLY buy their offers, I've had most of their goods, and I usually place a few orders every three months or so , and ONLY when there's a free delivery promotion, the way I see it not paying for that feeds us for 2 days. And spreading the deliveries is using their freezers until I have space in my own, but I still get the goods at a price I can afford. I go through Quidco too and save up that money for 'Treats' maybe a steak selection. I pay the 2nd Purse £3 for every DR pack I use even if its a more expensive cut.

I've decided to put the whole balance of my 3rd purse into my savings account £531 I had £890 last week but I bought a new washing machine @ £329. I would like to buy a bigger fridge freezer, around £300.
I've been doing the 2nd + 3rd Purse for many years, and the stockpile is high. And the purses full, so emptying one and taking my cushion away, wont bring us all to the same level, but it will give me something to work towards.

I bought DR mince last night @ £22 leaving £78 in the 2nd Purse, at the end of Jan when I add my £10 for the month and what I owe the purse £32 I will have £120 in my 2nd Purse, I will transfer £20 of that to the 3rd Purse which will go towards my fridge freezer. leaving £100 for bargains.

When I first started I bought, Tea, Coffee, Sugar, soap powder, tinned stuff, soap, shampoo, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, toothbrushes toothpaste etc. All things I used regularly. I started out with £10 per month, if you can afford more you will stock your wee shop quicker. Some weeks you wont find any bargains, then like busses they all come at once. You be ready to pounce when they do.

I will list EVERYTHING I buy and from where, I will also post any good finds. If we all do the same we are sure to reach our goals quicker.
I go to all the supermarkets when they have something Im after, then buy ONLY that + any whoopsies I find, It was hard at first but much easier now.:j:j:j

I have set up little lists on my phone note section with a different note for all the supermarkets near me - as I hear of something on offer I have started putting it in the right note section then when I am out and about if near the supermarket I can easily pop in without making a separate trip there and can easily see if there is something on offer there. This olde noggin is not so good at remembering and I often used to write lists but then leave them at home and try to remember when I got there.
