New section to let MNetters know of good offers you've seen in the shops - what do others think?

[ssd]

Today I was out with my own ds amd minded kids (I'm a childminder) and I seen a really good offer on in Boots. It was buy 2 of these things for £3 -kandoo wipes or handwash, there was something else in the offer but I forget now!!

Anyway I was just thinking, I'd have missed this offer if I hadn't been in Boots today and there must be loads of good offers I miss regularly. Oh and I got 2 Felicity Wishes fluffy hot water bottles for £2.25 each! Bargain! Could be a one off though who knows...

So what I wanted to ask the MN team and other MNetters do you think it would be a good idea to have a section of good offers we might be interested in to alert other mums/dads of bargains we might miss otherwise? I get e-mails from Martins website that tells of good offers every week in the shops, but TBH they've never appealed to me, I thought "parent or child" related offers would be more useful.

Oh and I don't mean an advertising section for companies, I mean genuine offers we've seen in the shops that other MNetters might relate to.

What do you all think?

[binkie]

Yes, great idea. Would definitely use it.

[merglemergle]

Agree. Great idea.

[lilaclotus]

i would love that.

[WigWamBam]

People generally just post those sort of offers under Products, I don't think there's necessarily a need for another separate section (although perhaps that's just me being a miserable old git )

[Guardianangel]

sounds good to me!

[dizzymama]

I'd certainly find it useful,don't always think to look for that under products.

[Blu]

more topics??
Nah...

[ssd]

The topic could be "Offers".

anyone else agree/disagree?

[ssd]

I thought this suggestion would be more popular!..

Or are you all loaded?

Yes, if we can call the sction 'Cheapskates', then I'd use it

[sorrel]

[charleepeters]

good idea i got loads!

[colditz]

I would use it! Yes please.

[ssd]

Thanks Kama, might need to go back to Boots tomorrow!

[ssd]

Had a look at Products but it seems to be used for an entirely different reason...not many special offers there.

Agree cheapskates would be a good title!

[ssd]

kama

have you tried superdrug or Sainsbury's? (haven't read other thread)

[helsi]

yes good idea. thinsg like BOGOF's and discount sales etc.

[Miaou]

have to say, I would look under "products" for such an offer. Perhaps the topic thread title could be changed to "Products and Offers"?

[JJmumsnet]

We'll put this on the agenda for our next meeting. In the meantime, please post any you see!

[emmamama]

Could put discount codes on as well. Never pay Tesco delivery charges again!

[lunachic]

good idea is the order codes thread still going i loved that!

[Janh]

Didn't there used to be a Bargains topic? What happened to that? (Or did I make it up?)
