Christmas 2007 savings club

beemuzed

Coming to this a little late as April is already winging past, but am now saving my £2 coins and 20p coins towards Christmas, plus £75 per month into e-savings account. Will also be skimming the odd amounts left the day before payday.

Hi all

Updated my sig with total money / vouchers saved. Also have tesco, smiths and boots card points, need to find out how much tho.

I have £18 odd in my pigsback account and DH has £13 odd - am waiting for dotty p vouchers to come in before I cash em tho.

Have also bought a few more cheapy prezzies, and put them away for xmas - I'm really impressed with myself!

Hi everybody :hello:

The Christmas fund in the House of Piglet so far consists of:

£70 John Lewis vouchers from Pigsback :j
£25 on Morrisons card
£18.17 on Boots card (for 3 for 2s) :T
£13.03 on WHSmith card (hoping to convert this to a magazine subscription for somebody...)
£11.50 in Tesco vouchers - wanted to try and use these for deals though, but am new to this and don't know if I can convert them now they have been issued or whether its too late - need to investigate further! :rolleyes: (Oh well, if its too late, thats £11.50 towards Christmas food, I suppose...:p )

Several pressies already purchased for Christmas from Boots sale earlier in the year. Its payday tomorrow, so may have a quick glance at the Amazon sale (had a little look earlier in the week and there are a few things that would sit quite nicely in the present cupboard! :whistle:).

Keep up the good work, guys!

Yes you can convert them to deals In fact you can only convert them to deals once they have been issued so you're ok Look at the vouchers and they will have an expiry dat probably in something like 2009 - you can keep them and exchange them any time in that period - or after infact there are a few loopholes there

Brilliant news - thanks for that, Tine!

Hi - have updated my sig.

This month my aim is to 'stocktake' my pressie box, and write a list of who can have which gift - that will help me see who needs to be bought for.

I am also going to start Tesco saving stamps this month - I wasn't going to bother but DH and I were in Tesco this week and his jaw hit the floor in disbelief that I'm not saving ('...but you've always saved Tesco vouchers for Christmas!') - so to comfort him with the knowledge that the cupboard will not be bare come December 25th I'm gonna get cracking with the stamps!
