Just another shout for Woolies, Luton store has a large clearance section upstairs with various toys, games and some electricals reduced quite substantially in some instances.

Often missed but dont forget the WHOLESALE section on e-bay. Can be excellent if you are buying for similar age groups...especially the HEALTH AND BEAUTY section for girls.

Noticed today that Claire's accessories have 10 for £5 on their sale items. My store had earrings, necklaces, bracelets, headbands, brushes and headscarves in this section. I got lots of lovely necklaces for 50 p each (should be £2.50) ideal for stocking fillers for young girls. Other sections have 3 items for £5.

Useful for party bags too!!

Thanks for the sticky! Hopefully we will all make some savings this Christmas (this is my frist proper MSE Christmas after the utter hell that was running round the shopping centre on Christmas Eve last year - NEVER again!)

And of course I have spotted a few more bargains:

Primark -
Children's 'dress up bedtime' fancy dress pyjamas £4 (various styles for boys and girls - VERY cute!
Children's TV character pyjamas - Dora, Turtles, Bob the Builder and LOADS more £5.

George @ Asda
Men's v-neck jumpers £5 (gorgeous quality)
Handbags from £3

Wilkinsons
Check out the 75% off section for underwear, shampoos and soaps.

Another tip is if you have your eye on something from Marks and Spencers find out where your local Marks and Spencers Outlet store is as they have big savings - same goes for Next. Generally they are in retail villages. A nice sunny, warm(ish!) stress free Christmas shopping day out in August!!!
