Asda do the xmas savings cards at the tills you can keep adding to this. Tesco do saving stamps behind the tills I think plus they do gift cards but you cant add to these just put whatever amount you want on them.

M & S also do the gift cards so when I'm in I put whatever I can afford on a giftcard as savings. It will be handy for food

I lovee doing this for xmas and you dont realise how much you can save until you start.
