I bought a Panasonic Soundbar for my TV. Normally £359, reduced to £219 then I had a voucher to take off a further £25, meaning I paid £194.
This purchase was to replace a Suround Sound system that wasn't working for me. I had originally bought it (RRP £499) for £150, but sold it the week before Christmas for £210.

This means my new Soundbar cost me £134.

A new loo and wash basin desperately needed before I re-do my tatty bathroom.

I'd planned to look in the sales anyway but this thread popped up on the Grabbit board on Christmas day.

£60 including delivery for both ........and as my Quidco cashback amounts to £70 for Christmas shopping (including the £50 bonus but excluding the £40 cashback from BG for boiler cover as I did that later on boxing day) it is essentially cash neutral so absolute bargain .

In fact I could claim it's a MSE freebie as MSE led me to Quidco in the first place

My best bargain this year has been many but the latest was walking in to Co-op on the 22nd and finding two beef joints already half price per Kg and finding them for a few £'s.
One was £2.39 for what was almost £10 and the other was a slightly bigger joint at £3.09 instead of over £10 @ the 1/2 price per kg. :j
No room in the freezer (but don't let that stop me ) one for me and one I gave to our daughter.
I chopped mine up into a 1kg+ joint and 2 x 450g of cubed beef (did a curry with one of the two cubed packs and froze the other and the joint).
Daughter did a similar thing.


I also got some Indian selection snacks (samosas etc.) for 79p and some mini hot dogs for 99p and buy the 3 together (didn't notice until I was at the till) it was 3for2. Also got loads of other bits and had a £1.50 off when I spent £15.


I went in the following day and spotted two lobster tails per pack B.B.F 25th (got 3 packs) were £10 paid £5.49 and used a £2 off coupon, spot on to go with the starter on Christmas Day.

My best bargain was my present to myself .

A food processor.

After much browsing and reviewing I decided on a Kenwood multipro seen in Tesco for £120.

Daughter had a save £20 if you spend over £100 on electricals.

Had £20 to use on double up taking another £40 off.

Had £40 from my share of work syndicate.

Left me with £20 to pay.

HOW???
When renewing home insurance we used top cashback and got £35 paid in tesco clubcard points. As well as using Bzzagent, orchard to get CC points, and shopping at tesco.

We waited until they had their big toy sale and big gift sale, and it co-incided with the tesco boost for a week.

i also saved a voucher they sent october, which gave £15 off when spending over £75.
