Ask for free delivery if you do buy it full price.  

It's her birthday in February - think I'll wait and see if it comes down in an after Xmas sale.

I would wait too Sooz.

I hate seeing stuff in the sales that I paid full price for.  That's why I tell my OH not to buy me too much stuff and just keep money for the sales instead.

up to 50% off  dresses plus free delivery

Not sure if anyone shops at Matalan but they have some party shoes on sale for less than a tenner with free delivery as well.

I've just ordered these:

Not the most amazing shoes ever but they only cost a fiver including delivery so even I only wear them once or twice they're still worth it!  I only bought them to go with a beige blouse I bought yesterday (again on sale £6) that I plan on wearing with black chinos around xmas.  Bargains all round!

Anyone ever tried any of these smell-alike scents?

(From MoneySavingExpert):

Some clever forumites have sniffed out dirt-cheap dead ringers for posh perfumes. They say Next Just Pink smells just like Ralph Lauren Romance, and M&S True Red smells like Hugo Boss Deep Red.

Here are a few others forumites have nosed out, though always smell for yourself before you buy (see the full smell-alike forum discussion for more):

• Chanel Allure - M&S Sensuale
• Miss Dior - Avon Timeless
• L'eau D'Issey - M&S Isis
• Armani She - Next Define
• D&G Light Blue - M&S Azure Breeze
• Coco Mademoiselle - Lidl Suddenly Madam Glamour

50% off M&S gift sets: Plus if you're after M&S smell-alikes, it's having a 50% off selected gift sets promotion until Mon 24 Dec, which includes some of these fragrances too. See below for info.

I know we have done the toilet roll thing before and this is not the best deal (I needed some toilet roll!), but just picked up a 12 roll pack of Andrex Quilted for £5.

Boxing day sales starting online NOW.... full list of todays major sale starters

Picked up The Big Bang Theory (Seasons 1-5) on blu-ray for £29 on Amazon lightening deals 25th. Big saving on the £46 normal retail price.

They are doing these lightening deals all week.

I was in for the Next sale starting at 6 this morning ,I bagged quite a few bargains

Just been into Tesco and they have an offer on their Finest ice cream tubs (I was recommended them on here l last year).

Went for the vanilla and the Belgian chocolate.

2 pots for £4.

Are the burgers on 'special' offer too? Under starters orders?

Good timing Soozy, I've just started a thread on that subject. But to answer your question I don't know as I don't eat burgers having worked in a butchers shop in my youth.

I went to the Boots 75% off sale today and bought LOADS.

I went at the weekend and bought some men smellies and the lady gave me free gifts and an additional 200 points on my card - an I was not even being my usual cheeky self asking for lots of free stuff !!

Get you

I walked out of there with three great big bags stuffed full ... got loads of Christmas presents ... Sweet will be proud of me

Well done Rexi, would seem we both had a successful trip into Boots 

Is it still on tomorrow?

Anyone know of any good jewellery webs sites with a sale on?

Went into HMV today and they have got lots of blu-ray catalogue titles for £4.99. Many of which I own, but I spotted The Sound of Music, Predators, 2 different Family Guy releases amongst many. The strange thing was that they all had slip cases and looked like new and there were lots of them.

Anyway if you live near a store and fancy the odd bargain, you may find one or two.

No, but I've become braver in rl shops of late! I would normally never dream of asking for a discount. Crazy, I know, 'cos I wouldn't think twice about it when abroad. Sometimes it's been about snooty shop assistants who I wouldn't give the satisfaction to! How crackers is that, when they're probably on the minimum wage I'll diversify further for a moment: I remember my seriously wealthy bf picking up a belt she liked a couple of years ago in a shop that we don't normally frequent, taking it to the till and the haughty assistant saying, "Do you realise that it's £250?" We thought, £250 for that, never, BUT, cheeky cow, does she think that she can't afford it! So did we say, what can you do it for, did we hell! Good ploy on their part, she paid the £250 for a belt that was probably worth about a third of that! (It was Duncan Bannanytne's wife's shop which lasted about 5 mins btw!)

The places I normally shop just knock 20-30% off at the till without any discussion or the embarrassment of having to ask: easy. However, last w/e when I had 10 mins to buy a piece of jewellery for my aunt's 86th birthday at the last minute, in a shop I've been in twice, I simply silently gulped and asked, "What's the best that you can do that for" and I got a 30% reduction!

The moral of the story: If you don't ask, you don't get..... N Easterners version: Shy girls get nowt

WOW!!! I've never done that - Mr Woo is a bugger for doing it though. As you say - it does pay off. Even in places like Turkey where it's expected I get a bit embarrassed.

Supes have you watched Britains secret shoppers? (its on a wed or thur evening) the guy trains people to be brave enough to ask for a discount and they usually get it

A week next Tuesday I will be giving away free hugs.

Awwwwww - put me down for a couple

 Well I did not think anyone (apart from Soozy) had noticed my in hindsight rather rash offer.

Any thoughts on how I'm going to deliver on this?

Will this work?

I'll confess now... I didn't notice it at the time, I just saw it this afternoon and realised it was Tuesday.   what the hell though... it's been a long hard day  - that works for me!

 Consider yourself hugged.
