Christmas Bargains/Reductions

Anyone get any reduced items for next Christmas? I got lights in Dunnes reduced from 15 euro to 10euro. And I also managed to get some Carolyn Donnelly tree decorations for 50% off. I look forward to hanging them next year!

Tesco clarehall still have some sweets at reduced prices down the seasonal aisle. Get them before the Easter eggs take their place.

I searched for 'Christmas' on the Dunnes website to see if they had anything left in their sale (they don't!) and they have a countdown to Christmas!

Got a packet of gold mini bows for presents in Easons today for 45c. I've never done the ribbon and bow thing before but I really want to in 2015. Been so busy the past few years.
(Also, not a reduction but I got a box of Bewley's Christmas Chai Tea in Tescos. It is very pricey at over €4 but I do like it. Any Chai tea tastes and smells like Christmas which is what we want!)

The Brown Thomas Christmas shop is open, the Rose of Tralee is over and the kids are back in school next week so I'm bumping this in case any early-birds spot any bargains.

If anyone buys the indo or the herald there's a €6 off voucher for Symths when you spend €15 or more.

Voucher was only in yesterday's papers so if you have them lying around or know of family friends get onto them quick.

Homestore and More currently has half price lamps and novelty lighting. They have various string lights that would be perfect for the mantelpiece at Christmas.
