Thanks!! On some of them I might've spent a bit more than I planned to but thats mainly cos its the first time I've done them (got a bit carried away!!) plus I only decided last week to do hampers so I haven't been able to look out all year for bargains etc - next year I'll start much earlier and I hope to get my baskets for much less - most of them have cost me about £4 this year and I'd prefer to spend less on them!! Loving doing this though - all my family and friends are gonna get them every year now!! LOL!! they'll be sick of flannels!!! LOL! gonna try and make some flannel muffins tomorrow!!!0 -

Snowman DVD - £3 Tesco
Bag of popcorn at the bottom - free had already
Malteasers - £1 Tesco
Areo Bag - £1 Tesco
2 Bottles of Beer - £1.50 Asda (split a 4 pack)
Cruchie/Flake/Caramel - £1 local shop
Total: £15.50 - had a budget of £20 so very pleased to come in under budget.2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,0000 -

Hi - got my cellophane from Flowerhour on Ebay - seem to be the cheapest to be honest - I actually bought 4 rolls of 10m each and the prices ranged from £2.49 - £3.25 a roll so worked out on average about 30p a metre which seems to be pretty good price. Think 40m should last me a while although I have got about 20 hampers to do!!!!
