Hi everyone!

MSE Badger has found a new, Christmassy forum badge in his sett. He's feeling festive and is offering it out to forumites who show us their best Christmas bargain.

Whether it's Christmas stockings or stocking up on food, post your bargain photo below or tweet it to us. MSE Badger will pick the best to bag an exclusive Xmas Saver badge.

Update 30 Dec: Show us your sales bargain photos and you may still get a badge :)

To join in you need to

MSE Badger will pick his favourites and give the best a badge. If you get one, you'll receive a private message letting you know and your badge will appear on the left hand side.

Give a shout here or on twitter if you get one :)

PS, to Grabbit regulars thanks for joining in with something that's not a Grabbit. Hopefully you'll agree with us it's a great bit of Xmas fun!

    My son wanted a Mega Bloks Halo set that was £199.99 in shops. It wasn't going to happen then along came Black Friday and I nabbed one for £79.99. Granted next year it will be 50 quid but I'll have one happy boy on Christmas morning and it will take him and Daddy a week to build so peace and quiet for me.

    By planning in advance, getting deals when they pop up, taking advantahes of glitches etc I am running at a discount of more than 70% of normal cost on over £1400 worth of gifts. Too many good ones to mention them all. I did enjoy doubling up £20 of clubcard vouchers to £40 and combining it with a £8 off £50 spend to buy toys that were already on sale. Best part of £100 in toys for £2 cash.

    I am very happy with my Lancome Christmas box for £50, discounted from £80 if you buy one Lancome item at Boots online, bought a £22.50 cleanser and paid for it all with advantage points gained from various (learned from MSE) points glitches since the summer :D:D:D

    Not my biggest ever xmas bargain but I'm very pleased I will have this to open on xmas day :j:j:j

    Also, last year I took advantage of the pre-xmas clubcard boost and quadrupled my clubcard points towards a pair of earrings at goldsmiths, meaning I had £800 to spend instead of £600!! Saving my vouchers up this year and next towards something else next year now!

    EDIT: I just worked out the above set is worth £174.79!! Bargainlicious!

    Sony Wireless Pulse headset - retails around £99, I had ordered it on a deal from amazon at £79 - then cancelled it as it was £72.99 on ebay (argos outlet) - so good savings and it's what the husband really wants.

    I use a mixture of the grabbit board and HUKD to get my bargains.

    Oh and another good one was Hot Diamonds necklace - from Ernst Jones for £34 (less £2 cashback) rrp - £80 - was half price and then additional 15% of named brands one weekend.

    Total christmas spend is £293 - total RRP is £621

    Think I've done well this year!
