Mine was a new tree for next year! From Argos for £12.50 instead of £50!!

I also got usual wrap etc. but only for half price (haha I'm ungreatful when I 'only' get 50% off!) and picked up a wreath and some decorations for slightly less than half price. I was also delighted to pick up some poundland bargains 2 for £1!

    So far Champagne @ £5.25 a bottle instead of £30 and silver earrings @ £1 instead of £8. But the year is still young so I am always on the look out.

    gift wrap @ 20p a roll in sainsburys instead of £2.50 I stocked up for the next 5 years :) (50 rolls)

    Turkey tins at 10p each again stocked up for parties etc

    Today 55p silver napkins in Tesco instead of £2.50

    Flowergirl dresses £24 each instead of £48 in Monsoon :)

    Oh and a broken bracelet for 50p in Monsoon instead of £16 easily fixed but dont think that counts as sale bargain as it was faulty rather than sale

    Boyes stores:
    Christmas oven gloves 74 pence
    "Snowflake table runner"- 50 pence. Actually a strip of red voile with printed snowflakes (147X 40cm) will make cute gift bags- quite a few!
