Thing is I don't really want to get the crisps and crackers or nuts yet one cos I will scoff them 2 cos they do deals leading up to xmas and 3 in case the dates are not that wonderful I know I should look when I buy but I forget to take my blinking glasses. Anyone know of any lovely pickled onions they have found. We love the garners shallots but again they are so expensive a smal jar is £2.50!!!

My flat mates mum works in Sainsburys and has 10% discount usually, in dec its 15% although I recall one year they had a weekend at 20% so we brought all our booze early.

Excellent tip! That is a great bargain off a supermarket shop.

We're waiting for the cheese footballs to come out in the shops - my OH gets through loads of these at Christmas so we'll definitely be stocking up before the shops all run out (like they did last year!)

Already have mincemeat from last year

Haven't decided whether to make my own pickled onions and eggs this year yet, but will definitely be on the look out for cheap red onions (to make red onion marmalade - it's quite popular round here so will be making loads of it)

I have a chest freezer coming on Thursday (so excited :j) so will be on the look-out for deals on things like gammon or anything else that can be chucked in there in preparation

I'm a naked wines angel, so by the time December comes around I should have enough credit to get a case of really nice wines

Well I did start buying some bits, as home bargains had some good offers on. Anyone who shops at approved food, they are doing 2 100g bags of kettle crisps for £1.20. I dont really need to do much food shopping, its just me, but I also received a £15 off online voucher from a supermarket I rarely shop with these days so I spent that, which meant I got £50 worth of shopping for £38 including delivery.

Home bargains have offers on on thorntons chocs, some are less than half the recommended RRP

Ive also put some bits away for christmas, non food, got some oil and watercolour paints, sketch pad and various assorted other similar bits for £1 each in poundworld.
