Found any Bargains?

Thought it might be helpful for us to list where we may have come across any bargain buys in the lead up to Christmas.

I've personally found a few good buys on play.com. I had 3 Christmas DVD's (aimed at toddlers) for £4.00 with free postage. They also do leapfrog leaptop for £14.99 beating Argos and Toys R Us by £5.00 and Tag Junior for £22.39 (£30 in Argos). Aquadoodle Classic comes in at £13.39 (£19.99 Argos). Everything has free delivery although does take around 3 working days.

I also nipped into Asda yesterday to buy a toy vacuum which was originally costing £22.99 but they had a good one for £12 and then noticed a 2 for £20 offer on and therefore picked up a Leapfrog Potsy for just £8 - it was going to cost nearer £20.

bargain toy kitchen seems a great bargain if anyone is looking for a toy kitchen.

I am now trailing the argos clearances!!

If your local boots has a toy section, it might be worth popping in- they had quite a few bits reduced n shelces in my local. Lots of cars 2, few lego bits, crafty things, and baby toys- probably 2/3 bits on every bay of 10 items were reduced.

Thank you very much for the argos clearance link I just got a half price flip camcorder for my brother, half price peppa palace for DD and some vacuvin wine essentials to add to some wine for token gifts for others. Brilliant!

Chocs and sharpener have arrived this morning, the free delivery code didn't work but I'm not fussed it's still a great bargain Grin

Just got a rubiks cube for £5 with free delivery from play.com. Bargain Smile

GloriaSmud · 05/09/2011 11:00

Just been into Sainsburys and they had all the Hello Kitty stationery 50-70% off. Useful for stocking fillers I thought.
There are also back to school things ~ lunchboxes and rucksacks etc, reduced as well (potential Christmas presents?)

HappyMummyOfOne · 06/09/2011 15:24

The Jelly Bean Factory Cup 200 g (Pack of 3) - currently on Amazon for £2.64. Their prices change thoughout the day though so you may need to be quick.

I found some Cars 2 stickers in Tesco yesterday reduced to 18p, stocking filler for ds who'll love them.

I'm going to have a look round for bargain 'back to school' stationery for dd who loves anything to do with writing/drawing. MIL found some gorgeous notebooks in Sainsbury, she said they were a bargain but not the actual price, but she only buys stuff cheaply!

I have also picked up a couple of dvd's for the kids for a few pounds each online at HMV yesterday.

Curlygirly · 15/09/2011 16:04

My Celebrations and pencil sharpener turned up today. Had completely forgotten I had ordered them!

Chocolategirl3 · 15/09/2011 16:30

Went to visit the new Westfield in Strarford yesterday and there were lots of deals/sale in The Entertainer toyshop. Bought 7 boxes of the Deluxe Paperoni Studio which last year I got for my girls for £20 and now they were selling them for £5. That's 75% off.

Have a look at their website. They had the Slyvanian Famillies Lodge from £69 to £34. Some of the stuff it was sold out on the website but there were lots in their shop. Well worth a trip to their shop.

Also got lots of glowsticks, either the star or heart wands one or the brushes, or 5 pk bracelets or 2 pack necklace ones for £1 each and in Hawkins Bazaar, they are £2 or £1.50 each. Great for stocking fillers.

I also picked up a Talking Tron robot -Sam Flynn down from £30 to £10.

BestLaidPlans · 15/09/2011 23:26

My niece has asked for a Moxie doll for her birthday and I saw one in Tesco today reduced down, according to the shelf edge, to £10.97. I decided this wasn't too bad, went to the till and it actually scanned at £5.97.

Honeydragon · 16/09/2011 13:12

Waitrose have got the summer stuff reduced.

The bbq fire buckets sets are down from £15-00 to £2.50 each and the forks were 0.99 from £4.00.

I bought 3 of each, and am going to wrap them in cellophane with skewers and marshmallows as Winter patio sets Smile

mumatron · 16/09/2011 14:59

i just ordered my chocs from the link above delivery was free as long as i spent at least a penny on something else. so, sticking with the christmas theme i ordered a box of baubles and celebrations for £1.43. Bargain!

Honeydragon · 16/09/2011 16:34

Oh thanks about the chocs, I qualified for free delivery so spent a grand total of 23p Smile
