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

Short-n-Sweet

Half Price Giftsets at Tesco whilst Boosting my Club Card Vouchers meant lots of Giftsets for Basically nothing - (I also had £5 to spend via the Tesco Orchard review site) :j

Also Thanks to the Competition Section of MSE - I won 2 Christmas Hampers and £100 Little Tikes Voucher! I got Free Mince Pies and Yorkshire Puddings Thanks to Shopitize Cash Back and also Did the Christmas Food Shop with Coupons paying at least half the retail value. :T

I also got all my wrapping paper, bows and cards in the Jan Sales - Rolls of Wrapping for 10p :beer: I also used last years Cards for Gift Tags :cool:



I also managed to grab one of these Dolls for 4p



Just a few of the ways I saved money this Christmas.

My Biggest Bargain was This Trike - Totally Free! as I won the £100 Voucher.



My Niece loved it.

Got my best ever bargain for DS this Christmas. Rather proud of this one, we got huge smiles on Christmas morning!

Pre-ordered Destiny from Tesco as soon as the Clubcard vouchers came out. It was £45 and I had a £20 voucher to double up, meaning it only cost me £5 cash.

I was happy with that, but when I checked the website a week or so later, they were offering a free t-shirt and headset. I phoned CS and they said I would automatically receive the freebies.

Icing on the cake was getting a pre-order price refund of £5 as they dropped the price to £40 on launch day.

So a brand new release game, a free t-shirt and a free headset for the grand total of £0 cash. Thank you Tesco :T

Sorry if the picture is huge, i'm rubbish at this! Could only prise the empty boxes off him to photograph , hopefully it's worth a badge pleeeeease

Not techie enough to get a photo on here but a SodaStream Jet Mega pack (for teenager who buys waaay too many cans of pop) Amazon price = £79.99 - The Range price = £39.99 and includes a £10 off voucher for syrups so actually cost only £29.99. (N.B this is the 'mega pack' which includes extra bottles and a sample pack of flavours, both with RRP of £9.99 each - not the standard Jet pack which is normally £39.99 at Argos)
Proof yet again that the High St (the outernet as my kids call it) can be cheaper than the web...

"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."...I interpreted this as including bargains in the Christmas sales which started before Christmas!

I bought a Thomas and Friends Trackmaster set for my son for Christmas. It cost me £3 and it is brand new, the shop i bought it from by and sell all store returns cheap and this was in the backroom and the guys didn't know whether it was complete. When i got it home i set it up and it did have every piece with it including the Thomas engine and truck. when i looked online the only one i could find with a price on was on EBay and it was for £32.:D:D:D

p.s i can not post pics or links because i am a new user. But you can search Thomas and Friends Trackmaster Risky Rails Bridge Drop on google and it will come up. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:
