I've done alright and gotten everything i needed i think

Got myself a blender and soup maker which was cool! £30, Asda

What have you bought that youre pleased with?

What have been some deals that have made you tap into your inner Martin Lewis and say 'youre having a laugh hun'

Have you had to rein in your excitement like I have 😭

One expensive jumper and a pair of shoes, neither of which I needed, but both of which I wanted. Saved about £100 on full price of both 😊

I've impulse bought a robot hoover mop today.

Bought some clothes, including socks and shoes. Sadly a couple of the nicely discounted are going back as they were from a company I hadnt used before and are a poor fit - guess that's why they were discounted. Not much we needed this year. Also stocked up on drink.

40% off a handbag I wanted at John Lewis
I only make use of 20% discount if it was something I was going to buy anyway
Normally buy on eBay or from charity shops

It is, but we don't have "waiting til Thanksgiving is over" as a blocker so shops just do pre-Christmas sales and shove the word 'Black" in somewhere. Now as a retailer if you wait too long in November you lose your share of people's disposable income.

I've bought a Roka backpack I've wanted for a long time and Nigel Slater's Christmas Chronicles for £11 instead of £28 on Amazon courtesy of a poster on here.
