Money saving Fathers Day Ideas!!!

morning all :D

I've been thinking about what to buy my dad for fathers day and thought it may be a good idea to start a thread on money saving pressies.

Anyone have any ideas?

    Last year I made my Dad batches of savoury biscuits & savoury scones & muffins (he is allergic to sugar), this year I am thinking of the biggest jar of peanut butter that I can find! (Anyone know where I can get a giant size jar of the stuff by the way?) Or I might get a nice jar, decorate it with a homemade lable & fill with the contents of several jars of peanut butter. Maybe with a loaf of savoury home made bread. All nicely wrapped in cellaphane & delivered in person of course!

    (My Mum hates peanut butter & "forgets" to buy it for him:rolleyes:)

    Costco sell a 1.13kg jar of Skippy Peanut Butter for about £3-4. It's not sugar free but they do sell others as well. This is just the one my hubby likes ;).

    Well my DH will be getting the football mug out of the PG Tips T-Bags offer from DS (1), the football cereal bowl from the buy 2 boxes of Kelloggs cereal offer from DD (3).

    So quite moneysaving, obviously had to buy the teabags and cereal, but i needed them anyway.

    My Dad - just realised haven't got him anything?? maybe i need more teabags and cereal:rotfl:

    P.S. Forgot to add, there is a rather nice World Cup Coca Cola glass free with 2 bottles of Coke in Tesco. Saving on receipt was £1.19, so you may be able to buy one for that?
