Xmas Saver 2014: What's your best bargain? Let us know for a Forum Xmas saver badge

Hi everyone!

We ran this last year and your Xmas/Jan sale bargain pictures were fantastic. They included a Lancome Christmas box and £27 Christian Louboutin shoes from a charity shop! See the Full Xmas Saver 2013 extravaganza.

So we're running it again this year. Yay :)

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

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 a badge :)

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

    I got the lancome red xmas beauty box for £42.50 in the Debenhams sale when buying a double pack mascara during the 15% off beauty sale. I also got a half price estee lauder revitalising kit from Boots, fantastic savings.

    I upped my quidco cashback by £44.46 by shopping online.

    Hi

    thanks to the amazing MSE forums this Christmas I:

    I switched energy companies, getting £30 Quidco cash back, saving £200 a year and earning nectar points!

    I also managed to get a cash back paying current account and credit card earning me cash back on Christmas shopping!

    Best bargain was the £2.50 free range turkey I got my chance at Waitrose on Christmas eve, saving me £62.50 and I got 5% cash back on the purchase!

    Paid off all Catalogues 10.10.2014
  • Mine is slightly different... From reading lots of threads & the weekly emails on here, I used an old current account to switch to M&S for the £125 gift card incentive. I then used this to pay for the turkey & veg for Christmas Day lunch, and some wrapping paper & other bits-yes, M&S is more expensive than other supermarkets, but it was effectively free & I still have around £80 on it to spend!
    MFW 2016 #32 £1574.66/£1500:j:j
  • £4.20 for three fragrance gift sets (Prada, JPG and Yardley) with Tesco Clubcard boost. Free delivery to store. From weekly email on MSE.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    Mine was a sale bargain :)
    A cordless drill, original price £29.99, sale price £21.99, vouchers used from doing online surveys £20, cost to me £1.99 :T

    I don't do a huge amount of online surveys but it just shows how a few minutes each day soon mounts up. :)
    Normally I use the High St vouchers for everyday stuff and save money on my regular weekly shop but as my existing battery powered drill packed up a few months ago, I decided to treat myself in the January sales and I used the last of this years vouchers to put towards my purchase :D
  • I bought Jimmy Choo Flash gift set for 15 quid for a present and its still £30 in the sales and 45 beforehand. Happy days.

    I made christmas arrangements instead of gifts for my family and friends using stuff I found (& a bag of oranges donated by my neighbour). It was totally free and much loved :)

    Also used my clubcard vouchers to get a tree and lights for free! Yay!
