Predicted start date: Wed 20 Nov

Boots is shaking things up a little this year, so it's not as easy for us to predict as in the past. We've noticed it's been launching its offers on Wednesdays rather than Fridays as it used to, so we're predicting the ever-popular Sanctuary Spa gift set will be half-price on Wed 20 Nov. It's usually a set that would normally cost £45ish reduced to about £23. 

It's on!

Just as we predicted, Kurt Geiger has kicked off its 'up to 50% off' sale on Thu 12 Dec, giving you time to get last minute gifts in the sale before Christmas. In 2017 and 2018, Kurt Geiger boosted the sale post-Christmas to up to 70% off. See our full Kurt Geiger sale analysis.

Kicking off a week earlier than we predcited, M&S has 30% off selected Christmas decorations and gifts, including Christmas trees, decorations, candles and selected gifts.

See our full M&S 30% off Christmas decorations analysis.

Just one day earlier than we predicted, Miss Selfridge has kicked off its 'up to 50% off sale' on Wed 11 Dec. When we checked on Wed 11 Dec, there were over 1,900 items included in the sale, across all products. This is its 'Boxing Day' sale and based on last year, we'd expect it to boost to up to 70% off everything on Christmas Day online and Boxing Day in stores. See our full Miss Selfridge sale anaylsis.

It's on!

Just as we predcited and as we've seen for the last few years, Boots has reduced its No7 'Best Face Forward' gift set to £39 (norm £80) on Wed 11 Dec. We've calculated that if you were to buy the items separetely, it would cost £156ish. It's available until 11.59pm on Tue 24 Dec, or while stocks last. The set includes day cream, night cream, mascara, primer and more. See our full No7 collection analysis. 

Predicted start date: Mon 9 Dec

The Body Shop is renowned for running promotions throughout the year, so it's rare you'll ever need to pay full-price. In previous years, it offered a code for 40% off most items, plus a free gift with your purchase, but we didn't see the free gift offered in 2018.

Predicted boost date: Fri 27 Dec

For the last few years, Asos has boosted its 'up to 50% off' sale to up to 70% off on the Friday after Christmas. We'd expect it to do the same this year and predict it'll boost on Fri 27 Dec. If you've got your eye on something and don't want to risk it going out of stock, you may want to buy at the beginning of the sale, but if you can hold on it could be worth waiting.

Predicted start date: Wed 25 Dec

For the last few years, Argos has started it's sale online on Christmas Day and in stores on Boxing Day. In 2018 it was billed as 'up to 50% off', however, we did spot a few items reduced by more than 50% off. Strong deals in the past have included a Slumberdown double duvet and a George Foreman grill.

Predicted start date: Tue 24 Dec

In previous years, Boots has kicked up off its 'up to 50% off' sale online on Christmas Eve and in stores on Boxing Day. In Jan 2019, Boots didn't boost the sale to 'up to 70% off' until Fri 1 Feb which was a couple of weeks later than we were expecting. The 'up to 70% off' boost is in stores only and usually includes Christmas gifts and fragrances.

Predicted start date: Mon 23 Dec

In 2018, Debenham started it's up to 50% off 'Blue Cross' sale a little earlier than we were expecting, online on Sun 23 Dec and in stores on Boxing Day. We usually see this boost to up to 70% off in the first week of January.

Predicted start date: Tue 24 Dec

For the last few years, John Lewis has started it's 'January sale' on Xmas Eve, online and in stores. It doesn't actually bill its clearance as 'up to 50% off', but it usually matches competitors' reductions and last year we spotted up to 50% off selected brands. We don't usually see the discount increase any further, so if you want something it might be worth buying as soon as the sale starts.

Predicted start date: Tue 24 Dec

For the last couple of years, Matalan has kicked off its 'up to 50% off' Boxing Day sale on Christmas Eve online and on Boxing Day in stores. It's likely to boost to up to 70% off in January.

Predicted start date: Tue 24 Dec

One of the big ones that MoneySavers wait for, M&S usually starts its 'up to 50% off' sale online on Christmas Eve and in stores on Boxing Day. For the last couple of years, we've seen the sale boost to 'up to 60% off' at the beginning of Jan, and then boost further a couple of weeks later to 'up to 70% off'. Last year, we saw it discounts of up to 90% off in stores until Sun 10 Feb.

Predicted start date: Thu 26 Dec

Let's be honest, £900 handbags certaintly aren't MoneySaving. However... if you're going to buy one anyway and can afford it, you might as well get it while there's a decent discount to be had. Mulberry usually starts its up to 50% off 'January sale' on Boxing Day, both online and in stores.

Predicted start date: Tue 24 Dec

As it does every year, we'd expect the Next 'Boxing Day' sale to start online on Christmas Eve and in stores on Boxing Day. Always a popular one with MoneySavers as the discount is at least 50% off, rather then up to 50% off. We've not seen the discount increase any further in previous years, so we wouldn't expect it to this year. So if there's something you're after, it might be worth buying before stock sells out.

Predicted start date: Tue 31 Dec

For the last two years, we've seen Ryanair offer 500,000 seats from £9.99 for flights, for a few days over New Years. In 2018, the seats on offer were for travel between January and March 2019. Some deals we spotted included Glasgow to Faro for £12 return and Stansted to Prague for £30 return. We're predicting that it'll launch a similar sale on New Years Eve this year.

Predicted boost date: Tue 24 Dec

In 2018, as Topman started its 'up to 60% off' sale earlier than expected, it also boosted to up to 70% off earlier than expected. Last year it boosted on Christmas Eve, so we'd expect it to do the same this year and boost on Tue 24 Dec. If you've got your eye on something and don't want to risk it going out of stock, you may want to buy at the beginning of the sale, but if you can hold on it could be worth waiting. 

Predicted boost date: Tue 24 Dec

In 2018, as Topshop started its 'up to 60% off' sale earlier than expected, it also boosted to up to 70% off earlier than expected. Last year it boosted on Christmas Eve, so we'd expect it to do the same this year and boost on Tue 24 Dec. If you've got your eye on something and don't want to risk it going out of stock, you may want to buy at the beginning of the sale, but if you can hold on it could be worth waiting.

Predicted start date: Thu 26 Dec

In previous years, Travelodge has offered a deal at the end of December for selected dates the following year. In 2018, it offered 30% off selected stays between Mon 1 Jan and Sun 31 Mar - slightly stronger than 2016's 26% off.

Predicted boost date: Thu 2 Jan

For the last few years, Debenhams has boosted its up to 50% off 'Blue Cross' sale to up to 70% off in the first week of January. In 2018, it boosted on Thu 3 Jan, so this year we're predicting that it'll boost on Thu 2 Jan. If you've got your eye on something and don't want to risk it going out of stock, you may want to buy at the beginning of the sale, but if you can hold on it could be worth waiting. 

Predicted start date: Thu 2 Jan

We didn't see this happen when we were expecting it to last year, but in previous years we've seen a Eurostar sale in the first week of January. In 2018, Eurostar offered £58 return train tickets to Paris, Lille, Calaid or Brussels from London St Pancras International, Ebbsfleet International or Ashford International.

Predicted boost date: Thu 2 Jan

For last few two years, H&M has boosted its 'up to 60% off' sale to up to 70% off in the first week of January. In 2019, it boosted on Wed 2 Jan, so this year we're predicting that it'll boost on Thu 2 Jan. If you've got your eye on something and don't want to risk it going out of stock, you may want to buy at the beginning of the sale, but if you can hold on it could be worth waiting. 

Predicted start date: Sat 4 Jan

Historically, we've seen The Sun offer its '£9.50' holidays at the beginning of January – and 2018 was no exception. In reality, they're never actually £9.50, but if you dodged the costly extras you could get a trip for four people for £44.
