THE Boxing Day sales are here – but there are ways to cash in further, as you cash out.
Here’s how to make the most of the bargains (and maybe even bag some buys for next Crimbo in the process).

CHECK EBAY: The days after Christmas will see unused, unwanted gifts being flogged for super-low prices while people have the time off work to list them.
Keep an eye out for new listings while out at the shops — check hourly to make a real saving.
Gift sets and pricier buys are often first up, so you may even be able to stock up for birthday and Christmas presents for next year.
PAPER SAVING: Next Christmas may be the last thing on your mind, but you can ease the strain on next year’s budget by stocking up on wrapping paper, ribbons and cards now.
These goods go straight into the sale and you can save a packet by thinking ahead.
CASHBACK IT: Check quidco.com and get cashback when browsing sales online and get even more money back on your purchases.
Did you know that certain cashback sites offer in-store cashback? Check topcashback.co.uk/in-store to access the list, upload your receipt and ka-ching!
COMPARE IT: Use comparison shopping websites to make sure you are getting the best price whether shopping online or in-store.
Idealo.com is useful as it also has a price history tool, so you know what it cost last week and how much of a saving you are really making.
GIFT IT BACK: We have all received gift cards when what we really need is cash. If you aren’t keen on your store gift cards, head to cardyard.co.uk where you can “sell your card back” for cash (or swap it for one you do want, for you or someone else).
A £100 Debenhams gift card translates to a £81 cash payout or a £85.05 credit for use on the website (towards another gift card) currently. This is great as a New Year’s lump of cash, or for putting in the piggy bank for next year’s festivities.
