And it's not only M and S but the likes of Debenhams, and now Selfridges. I'm talking about all these 25% off days, it seems that M and S are having them, on different products or brands, every week now. For example per una, then knitwear, then per una again and now knitwear and coats. So now I am reluctant to buy anything…

Tesco Finest Cru Champers
Not necessarily a money saver but it's on offer at 2 bottles for £25 rather than £20 a bottle. Plus, you can use your double up vouchers as its a Finest item.
