My daughter surprised Father Christmas with some last minute requests.. but he managed it with Tesco Boost points and sent me a photo to show me how!Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's learning to dance in the rain.0

My top christmas saving this year was a casserole dish from Debenhams (don't ask, I did enquire whether one from tescos would not do the same thing!!!) £39.99, reduced to £25.99 in the pre christmas sales, went to the counter and received a discount to £18.99 as it had a tiny tiny chip and then paid on a debenhams gift voucher I'd received and never used. So actually free and the recipient was very happy with it!Proud to be debt free September 2014. :j

My best buy of 2014 had to be the Phil and Teds twin pram I found outside a charity shop.... Left out for the bin due to damage! Nice lady in the shop said she couldn't sell it to me, but if I wanted to make a £5 donation I could wheel it away! Brought it home, pressure washed the seats and grandma stitched up the ripped back seat. Used it all year for my 2 & 3 year old, best pram ever! And saved from landfill0

Bargain at 4p and kept a little girl very happy on a flight to france for Christmas0 -
can't post pictures of this. I have a prepay visa card from my union that gives me 3% cashback at Asda. I used it to shop, and top up my christmas savings the day before the extra credit. So not only do I get the credit on my savings, but I also get 3% back on putting it on the card. :beer:0

My best buy- for a friend - was a huge hard backed Suduko book from "The Works" priced @ £20 for £1.25 which was wrapped in a brand new looking black velvet hoodie from a charity shop @ £1!
The recipient was well pleased with her goodies.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
