Money saving gift bags :D

Hi guys,

Thought I would share with you my money saving experience from this evening. As most of you know by now I am a photographer (specialise in weddings all over the UK but do portraits and events and band promotion as well) anyway my companies first community event is this weekend, and as a nice extra little touch I had decided to buy some gift bags to place any acrylic frames into that had been bought.

As acrylic blocks can be seen as a sort of high end of the market frame (ranging from £100 upwards and normally called wall art) I realised that plastic bags wouldnt quite fit it. anyway I went into clinton cards (as a last resort) as I love their very contemporary, modern feel to the stock they sell and found gift bags at the right size for £1.50 - but needing 50 bags I wasnt happy to spend £75!

So I went into my local tescos store and found something almost identicial to what I had been looking at in clintons (slightly different colour) for only 48p a bag! Although I needed 50 my store only had 17 but phoned around and managed to get hold of another 33 to pick up tomorrow - in all Ive made a total saving of £50-00 just for shopping around!

Just shows, tescos can provide on quality and price on some occassions
Life is what you make it.
