I wasn't planning on buying anything at all but I've somehow managed to snag a wool coat online M&S half price

It was out of stock anytime I checked until this morning. I woke early & had a look on my phone & it had restocked & i managed to get it!

I'm delighted as it will be an excellent coat for work & I have been on the lookout for ages for one suitable for the office.

I've also fallen in love with a dress someone posted on style & beauty but it's full price & too expensive so I'm resisting it. For now....

Did anyone else get anything nice?

M&S x Emma Freud jeans, which randomly appeared in the sale on the first day after being totally sold out
M&S Ultimate Sleep Cream (magic stuff)
Some glitzy Xmas party earrings
Windle Lab shampoo & conditioner bundle

Blush M&S x BELLA Freud jeans, not Emma Freud.

Although I guess that's a bona fide Freudian slip...

Buy the dress!!

A Mulberry handbag and a coat from Vivienne Westwood. Saved quite a bit. Still expensive yes, but they are investment pieces I will use a lot.

A lifetime's supply of gift tags.

Midnight blue sheepskin slider slippers from Emu.

Eyeing various dresses and jackets on John Lewis atm too... I need to go in the flesh though I think.

2 coats and a jumper.

Two tops and a dress, all half price in the Joe Browns sale.

Oh, and two yellow-stickered bacon wrapped turkey breasts that were down to £1.24 each, and a £3 panettone on boxing day 😁

I was waiting for the sale to buy new underwear - two full sets for the usual price of a single bra - and also some perfume from Miller Harris as I was running out and it has the added bonus of topping up my discount points. I’ve been really unwell so all accomplished from the comfort of my bed…

Loads of pyjamas/loungewear in the Next sale and a new Ninja kettle.

Ireolu · 01/01/2025 21:42

Nourison rug. £200 off at costco. £600 off everywhere else.
Miller harris perfume. 2 bottles for £90. Saved £190 with rewards.
On the lookout for a new wool coat.

DD grows like a weed so I went sale shopping to refresh some of the bits she's outgrown.
Got a denim jumpsuit, a 90s style check dress and a sparkly t shirt from next for £30 all told and cargo trousers and matching sweatshirt from new look for £11 for the set.
A nice merino wool loungewear hoodie for myself from Crew clothing.

MrsPeregrine · 01/01/2025 22:32

I bought a patchwork quilt and matching pillow from Emma Bridgewater. Saved £66.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 01/01/2025 22:40

A perfume gift set from Boots, dinner plates from JL, and Reece’s Pieces chocolate from Tesco. Not been in the shops as also had the festive plague, but hoping to go in for a wander tomorrow.

SoManyTshirts · 01/01/2025 22:41

Couple of winter dresses from Seasalt and a Kipling bag I had my eye on.

FeegleFrenzy · 01/01/2025 22:43

A marimekko drawstring bag from Uniqlo. Arrived today and am a bit disappointed, i assumed it would have some sort of internal zipped pocket for a phone and it doesn’t. But it was only £12 and I can’t be arsed to send it back.

creamsnugjumper · 01/01/2025 22:45

Some lovely shower gel in a fancy local shop 1/2 price, VB makeup and a baujken jumper in burgundy that was on M&S and reduced by about £30.

krustykittens · 01/01/2025 22:46

A lovely dress from Reiss that looks terrible on me, so it is going back.

WhatIDoIsEnough · 01/01/2025 22:46

No . Haven't for a few years. I found i was buying old seasons stuff for the sake of a bargain.

SapphireSeptember · 02/01/2025 05:31

Some gift sets from Boots, Soap & Glory, one with three body washes, one with hand cream, body wash and body butter, a Ted Baker body spray set, Joule's soap stack and set with with two lip balms and a lip scrub, Boots own brand sets, three body washes, three hand creams, three soaps, and A Little Something set of six body washes. Think that was everything. I like nice toiletries!

I also got Next pyjamas, normally they don't have my LTall size left but I was lucky this time so nabbed 3 pairs

TrtseHkpr · 05/01/2025 12:47

A set of kettlebells, 33% off on Amazon. I've wanted to try them for a while and am really hoping I don't drop them on my toes 😀
