    I intend to spend little or no money on xmas presents this year. So far I have got a load of small presents for my daughter, all with points or vouchers and all at least 75% off, a couple of toys, 1/2 price, for my son with vouchers. Almost all the presents for my family and friends with points and vouchers in the January sales. I still have £30 boots vouchers, £43 in Boots points and £24 in Luncheon vouchers.:j

    I've just got back from NYC, you'll love it!!!! We managed to find a TAX-FREE state out side of Philly (2 center holiday)!! This means mega shopping bargains!

    I even picked up a few gifts for bargain prices! Including some from the 21st Century store near Ground Zero.

    As for my xmas savings, I've now got 3x£10 Boots voucher and £25 Sainsbury vouchers... saying that I've got loads of pressies in my box already too!:D
