Please do not post chat on this thread, it is purely for listing your own personal progress in saving for christmas 2007. You can post targets if you want or just plain "savings set aside" in cash, vouchers or other "currency"

MrsTinks · 25 December 2006 at 10:13PM

My current "savings"

£40 Arcadia group vouchers (Pigsback)
£30 Boots vouchers (Pigsback)
£10.37 Boots (in boots points)
230 PB points
£1 Tesco stamp (it managed to hide from me)
£11 towards Tesco stamps from organising my coppers and change (have more but these are my completed bags)

A LOT of gifts from the Boots Sale. All 1/2 price and used boots vouchers so they were in effect free...

Total: 2x 4 small bottles of wine sets. Large gift sets (£10 each or £5 each down from £20 and £10

) and loads of bits and bobs

Will keep my signature up to date and will aim to only use the funds raised through that (along with clubcard boots card and nectar points!) to pay for Christmas 2007!

Seeing as after I had wrapped all this years' pressies I appear to still have 4 or 5 archive boxes full of things, I have a feeling that I am already pretty much bought up for this year - especially as we've also decided 'no more presents to adults' - just got to sort through it and see how I can spread it around.

Add to that some careful sales shopping for larger toys for the kids, about £80 worth of vouchers for various places, and £50 worth of catalogue commission already saved, and I'm well on the way to a very inexpensive year

One of the ways I save cash for christmas is to get my child benefit payed into the post office card account, I have 2 kids, unsure how much goes in every 4 weeks, but I draw out £25 a week for bits and pieces (bread milk etc) and leave the difference to build up. Christmas 2006 I had £175 to spend on food shopping and the last of the pressies, as I did draw extra money on weeks when I was skint. Drew money out on saturday and worked out how much is saved so far, and already I have £16, will start a signature with progress later on, hope its ok posting my savings idea here, if not, please move it where it should be.
