Brought a beautiful shirt worth £80 from Charles Tyrwhitt using a code on this website. it cost £4.95 postage. It was delivered by Hermes who just left it by the bin and the packaging got wet. I emailed CT to tell them how much I loved the shirt but suggested they changed their delivery company. They emailed me back with a thank you and refunded my postage!!! Great bargain present.Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

I've just totalled my sons Xmas and birthday gifts up and along with family gifts including 20 kids/teenagers I've spent about £250 and that includes an iPad air :j
This was only possible due to buying stuff posted on here throughout the year at vastly reduced prices then selling some in the past few months for over double I paid for them with buyers still getting them for half store prices
Also collecting points and making the most of double points in tescos for toys, earning money from cashback sites + surveys, supermarket price promise (mostly APG). I also got a few of the amazon and M&S £10 for £5 on bespoke by getting family members to sign up and buy them for me. The amazon ones were just in time for Black Friday deals so went even further. The M&S ones are for Xmas food so will be used nearer the event.
Almost forgot about the body shop glitches, got a lot of gifts from there too.
I can honestly say this will be my cheapest Xmas ever!
I'll post photos later before I wrap everythingSPC #329 £471/£500 banked
SPC 2014 £1100:D

Best bargain is definitely a wireless bluetooth keyboard for ipad/tablet reduced from £34.99 to £3.49 in Sainsburys. I posted details about it at the time here:

All my bargains come from posts on here so a big thank you to everyone who posts.
I got a John Adams Hot Wires set for £29.99 instead of £49.99 and Paul Smith Rose perfume for £14.52 instead of £55 rrp (although can be found much cheaper than rrp).0 -
Definitely my two large Yankee candles with Candle sleeve holder all for £19.99. Should have been £47.98. Thanks everyone my family will think I am spoiling them.0

I've had a few bargains but my best one is the combined use of 2 glitches. Bought the £10 for £5 amazon gift cards redeemed and left balance on account. On black friday I got the Disney Infinity Starter pack for £33.99 paid with the gift card balance so effectively only cost me £16.99 instead of £47.99 Not a huge saving compared to some glitches but something that is hard to find cheap0

My best bargain this Christmas was the Clover Zelfs figure. These are £60 plus on Ebay but with a clever bit of detective work and using a picture of an offer on an Ebay listing, I managed to get one for nothing. On the picture was the name of a website which lead to an offer of "spend £30 on Zelfs get the limited edition Clover Zelfs for free." I managed to combine this with the 3 for 2 on toys at Argos and therefore got £58 worth of Zelfs toys for £32 and I got my daughter the obscenely difficult to find, must have Clover Zelfs.0

OMG how could I forget ?? My bestest bargain of the year... Definitely my Christmas present to myself
Back in the summer there was a bit of a glitch on Radley's website that gave you cheaper reduced handbags.
I bought one and should have paid £49 after applying the code. They charged me £4.99 delivery :j
And I used topcashback and got £2.40 something back :j :jI’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Health & Beauty, Greenfingered Moneysaving and How Much Have You Saved boards.

I have made small bottles of fruity gin as stocking fillers for family and friends this year. I used some bottles of gin that had been given to me as presents throughout the year, and DH gets free rasps from his work, some blackcurrants, whitecurrants and apples from the garden, and some small bottles collected by a friend :beer: The only thing I have paid for is the sugar and any spices that I used (cloves, cinnamon, vanilla etc). Once I've given them a nice label and perhaps a bit of ribbon, I'm sure they will look fab, and be much appreciated
