It's that time of year again.....

.... time to take full advantage of sales,price cuts,vouchers etc.!!

3 hoodies bought for my triplet nephews today in Tesco,and Lego Car Chase bought for another nephew. When I say bought I really mean bought with a gift voucher.

Also 2 packs of cards from Eason both with 50% off.

So,that's 4 ticked off the list already......

Yes, got candles in Meadows and Burns sale. And picked up (full price) items at the Donkey Sanctuary.

We've got a box of crackers but they'll probably be used at Easter!

Bought a couple of Christmas guest towels in Homestore for the guests we're definitely not going to have next year. :pac:

September at the earliest... we tend to get the kids stuff sorted early so we can spread the christmas budget over 3 or 4 paydays (we're both paid monthly) & boy am I glad we do, when we looked back at our spend for 2017 it was well into 4 figures...

I wouldn't have the will to start before then being honest.

Got a bag to put the tree in and some gold leaf things to put in my garlands. Roll on December 2018!

Posy · 05-01-2018 12:04am

I'm heading to Boots tomorrow to see if there are any gift sets. I am already mulling over what to get people for next Christmas while the season is still up and running.

I have my list started already, Posy! Every year, I start with a list of the people & a budget. Then as the year goes on and I think of presents, I add them to the list so I don't forget & also start buying them & marking off what I've bought! Takes the stress out!

Colibri · 06-01-2018 3:57pm

Not yet but I might start soon.. would definitely be a huge money saver!

Postgrad10 · 06-01-2018 7:22pm

So I have put the tree in the bag I bought and it's far too heavy for me to lift up
