you know the ones, that you pay to through the year to save up for a variety of food/itmes/vouchers. Do you think they are a good idea? we used them last year and previous years but not this year and ok, at the end of the month we had an extra £20+ pounds but now (we usually get the vouchers etc now) buying xmas presents…

Snap!

I have quite a few customers ordering vouchers, usually have about £60/£65 commission-which is an extra boost to buy my Xmas food.

I try and save £100 vouchers to use in January sales, so I have the fun of shopping, without the outlay, and buy the following years Xmas and birthday presents at reduced rate.

In fact, yesterday, between my Choice vouchers, Boots 1/2 price sale, and some BOGOF vouchers from the advantage machine, I managed to do half of my Xmas 2006 shopping!!
