    My best Christmas bargain was my turkey last year. I'd gone shopping in Tesco and bought my turkey.

    :mad: I was over charged, this was due to the fact that staff had put medium turkeys behind an incorrect price label.

    Went to cs and got dtd, hence free turkey and a little extra :j

    Does that warrant a badge :D

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    In Waitrose today and happened to admire lovely red roses in jug all beautifully wrapped down from £15 to £2.50 in OP trolley. She insisted that I take it, the roses are still lovely altho sell by date today.
    The Christmas spirit is alive in South Woodford.
    Can't stop admiring them on my living room table.

  • My best bargain has to be a lego sort and store head I got from amazon for £21.99, usually just under £40 ish. They sent it without packaging, just a delivery label stuck on it so I complained and they promised that when they got them back in stock they'd contact me to do a refund and replace at the same price.
    I got my refund last week and they sent out the new one carefully packaged. The best bit was they took the payment out of the balance of my bespoke £5 for £10 amazon gift vouchers I'd got the family to buy me so it only cost £11.99 in proper money :D

  • I got my son a skylander bike retailing around £90. I doubled up with my tesco clubcard vouchers and didn't pay a penny, then when it came the rubber on the handle was a little split, wouldn't make a difference to the use but I would of preferred a new one. I emailed customer services who said that they could send a courier out to collect and leave a new one with me but it was at a time that I was in work so I said don't worry I will keep what I have and then the advisor said ok I will refund you £15 instead which she did to my debit card so I was actually paid to take the bike :beer:

    some great bargain around everyone !! I am lucky that I work in Retail at a head office and we have sample sales where we can buy things very cheap which suppliers have sent us. So far my best bargain from that was a £40.00 tresspass coat for £1 and some Reggata walking boots for £1.00.

    My best bargain that didn't come from being in the lucky position Iam at work was soem Man united official merchandise (from their website) with free postage and 20%. Thought this was great as I was literally checking out my order when the postie arrived with a discount card from man united (the oh's football team not mine ! Burnley all the way for me !) xx
    :j First prizes back into comping after a break - romantic break to 2 to Venice/ Paris or Rome with romantic trip and a 42 inch TV and blu Ray amazing !

    Thank you all so much and good luck guys and girls xxxxxx
