- BUY a real Christmas tree for £25 at Ikea from November 23 and you'll receive a £20 voucher to spend in store between January 16 and February 12 next year.
- Spar’s pre-Christmas grocery offers continue. Among the latest ones, a juicy highlight is Tropicana orange 1.75l, less than half price at £1.49. Half-price deals include Baxters Favourites soup 400g (now 54p), Dromona mild sliced cheddar 160g (94p), Sprite or Fanta 6x330ml cans (£1.77), Birds Eye potato waffles 10-packs (£1) and Goodfella’s pizzas (various weights, £1.50). Plenty kitchen towel twin-packs are less than half price (reduced from £2.40 to £1.19), as are Persil Small & Mighty 25-wash powder boxes and 23-wash bottles (each down from £8.40 to £3.75). For full details go to www.spar-ni.co.uk.
- Here’s a soup-er deal. Go to New Covent Garden Soup’s website http://newcoventgardensoup.com/ and fill in your details to get a printable voucher for £1 off a standard carton. Combine the coupon with the right supermarket deal (Asda had this product on special offer for £1 at the time of going to print) and you could get your soup for free, or next to nothing. The vouchers are valid until December 31 but only 30,000 are available, so be quick.
- Fancy a free fiver? Top up your Amazon account with £100 (easily spent at this time of year anyway, especially with many of the Black Friday deals on offer until November 25) and you’ll get a bonus £5. This offer is valid on some accounts only. Check whether you qualify at https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=11301833031&tag=ho01f-21.
- In case you missed it: Until November 30, for every £20 you spend at O’Neills sportswear stores you’ll receive a gift £5 voucher. Vouchers can be spent from December 1 to 23. Gift vouchers themselves are excluded from the minimum spend.
- Finally, an almost-freebie. If your child would like a letter from Santa, Royal Mail can arrange it. If he or she writes to Santa/Father Christmas, Santa's Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ by Friday December 9 with a first or second-class stamp, a reply should be forthcoming. It’s not guaranteed, though, because Santa is very busy at this time of year.
