started saving for Christmas 2008

[caraf]

Hi
Been for my food shopping to asda today. I picked up the "asda christmas savings card" and I am very proud to say I have today put £2.00 on it !! I am so proud of myself !! £2.00 per week for 52 weeks is over £100 for my Christmas food next Christmas. But as the year goes on I am going to try and do a few weeks at say £4.00-£5.00 then I have lots next Christmas

I know I've got to think about it, but as I've only just taken the decorations down Christmas 2008 seems a long way away!

Does anyone know if Sainsburys do a card like the Asda one? I collect the stamps, but to be honest I would prefer to load money onto a card at the checkout.

Good luck with the saving Caraf!

I've got my cards for next Christmas, and we've got loads of wrapping paper left over as it was 3 for 2 with 20% off in Smiths at the beginning of December. No presents yet, although I did buy my mum's birthday present in the sales!

I've worked it out - the pop up blocker was causing the problem! I hate technology!

Hi Skippy
I think sains do a savings card, they certainly used to. I have bought all my cards for next year, and a couple of birthday presents ,though both are in september but 75% off saved a fortune.

...trouble is I've got such a dreadful memory or late I will expect one of you to remind me that they're in the black suitcase (the one that Billy scratched) when I'm looking in 11 months time!![:o)]

I am the same I've stuffed them inthe wardrobe and bet i'll buy something else or more cards and then find them.

I brought my Christmas cards for this year, had loads left over. I went to put them away and found last years cards I put away to use this year!!!!!
Oh well I have enough cards for the next 3 years as long as I remember to get them out!!

I have also brought a few presents for upcomming birthdays in the sales which has saved lots of money.

If only I had a good memory I would be dangerous[:D]

I did mean to also say well done caraf, it does feel good doesn't it?

Think how much better Christmas 2008 will be for you and your family[:D]

January 5th and I already have all but two xmas presents for my family for 2008 ! Sainsbury sale today was good - loads and loads of gifts and cheap wrapping paper - 30pm for four rolls of paper with gift tags, ribbon and bows included !
I love the sales that's where I do most of my shopping - they then go in boxes and I write a list of what I have and who it is for to ensure I don't double buy!

well done everyone for thinking ahead, i had the best xmas ever this year, last year was awful and i thought i would never go through that again, in june i put away a bike for my eldest son and paid off it weekly, i bought my middle son a nintendo wii in october went without the weekly shop to do it, but so glad i did as no one could get one anywhere and daughter i bought a pram with an umbrella as that is what she wanted, i warned all 3 of them that they wouldn't be getting loads. on xmas morning they all had what they wanted be it only one big pressie
in all the day was the best ever we had had as a family, through thinking ahead , so good luck to you all, will have to start myself now lol

I bought £2 Morrisons stamps last week and will buy £2 more today when I visit. Hopefully towards a debt free and happy Xmas 2008.
