Winter coat bargains

This year I've bought 3 winter coats, for less than £20! Can anyone beat that?

Bought my daughters coat in Asda - £8
Sons coat in Asda, half price - £4
Husbands coat, Instore - £7

Bought my coat last year £40! I'm a large size so not that many bargains to be had, but I did lose 6lbs this week, so who knows I might get some bargains yet :)

    Being a recent convert to his board I have been an addict to the M & S sale threads. I got my daughter a £40 coat reduced to £3, sons was £1 in M & S sale as well and got jacket (for my mum) for £3 as well!

    It is really worth keeping an eye on these M & S sale threads when they come out as I have saved an absolute fortune and got some great clothes for my family and presents too.

    ps Congrats on 6 lbs weight loss that is amazing! How did you manage that?? I've lost weight this week as I have been off with a dreadful flu and not eating!

    I joined a gym nearly two weeks ago, went 4 times the first week and once this week so far, will go again tomorrow. Didnt lose any weight the first week but have lost 6 lbs this week. I'm not on a diet so was really pleased to eat normally and still lose weight. :)

    Thanks for that, both of mine will need winter coats again so I might have to pop into Asda this week.

    Got a new coat for spring/summer in Asda for £1!
    I get my dd's clothes at the car boot, especially coats as they always look like new - this year's was a gorgeous faux fur number for £3. Now's the time to look for next winter (I always shop ahead, but have been caught out by putting things somewhere safe and then forgetting about them - lol!)
