i bought 2 "free" Disney dvds (which was at the time bogof), bought them through topcashback, received my cashback for them and exchanged the cashback for Argos vouchers, as you get a bit more extra money then i spent my Argos vouchers on toys for our local church collection ( 2 for £15), so i ended up with two Disney dvds, a kitchen and a garage for 12.99

I picked up a pair of Ecco brand new boots from a charity shop for £3 and sold them a week later for £137.50 on the bay
That profit covered all my Christmas presents with about £19 spare which I spent on food and selection boxes for our local foodbank
