    Well here's a weird Christmas bargain for you! An £800 Husky that looks much like this one with crystal blue eyes for free :j:j

    And not only do I get that bargain........... but I get to become a dog person for free :eek::eek: my garden gets to become even more trashed than it is for free :( AND my cat (and the one that seems to be adopting us at the mo) is likely to freak out for free about the new addition to the savvy household, now coming this weekend :o

    Go me, I take in any strays it seems, some on 2 legs but mostly those on 4 :o:o:o Right I'm now off to find a damn good deal on a Feliway plug in to destress the cat and a good deal on a bottle of vodka to forget what I've just agreed to :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Look closely and you'll see a few free Parioli tomatoes underneath aswell :)



    Ooh, now, how about 6 bottles of wine and a Freddo

    Would have been £2 cheaper if I hadn't had to pay for click and collect, I was robbed :rotfl:

    I guess I did strike lucky with an Achica code earlier in the year. No minimum spend and free delivery meant all this (and more already used/given away ) cost me nothing....

  • Had an email from The Beauty Room earlier this week, with this christmas gift in a BOGOF offer

    http://www.thebeautyroom.co.uk/Melatogenine+AOX+Youth+Beauty+Collection_Detail.htm

    The moisturiser itself is £76 on their site and is just lovely to use. The t's and c's were a bit odd since they said that the free one wouldn't be added until checkout and wouldn't appear on the invoice. That and it clearly stating this was a first come first served offer made me a bit worried that it was just a gimmick to make me buy it at full price:eek:

    But NOOOOOO:j My delivery came today and both gift's are there, so I've saved £87 on the full price for both creams and got some brilliant eye cream, face serum and cleanser thrown in too!!!.

    Now if I can just convince the lovely children that mummy's already bought her own presents thank you :rotfl:
  • I got a fake tree for £85 down from £250 using codes and some Nectar points that I am very happy with. I also managed to get some good discounts on already discounted Body Shop stuff plus a free gift, and half price on all the Lego this year. :-) Plus a whole load of discounted baubles to make wreaths with. :-D

    Not as great as all of you lots deals but managed to get 5 of my hubbys' favourite football teams shirts off ebay for about £5 plus postage.

    Money isn't exactly flowing this year so its a budget Christmas, but I've managed to do my entire family's present for around £50. But most things have come from charity shops, ebay or local facebook sites. Including a never used breadmaker for my mum for £5.


    Think in all though the best present my parents have got my hubby is a model of my husband's classic car, which my dad has resprayed with the matching colour of the car and put new number plates on, so it is an exact replica, and all it cost was £2 for the original model we got from a toy show.
