I am well into my christmas shopping now Grin . Just wondering if we can share any good reductions online for those early organisers. I got some lovely body lotion from L'occitaine last week 70% off plus a code for free shower gel and I've already used half a pot of one of the lotions already Blush but I just checked and it's finished Sad .

I remember last year I got a practically free tin of celebrations from viking direct via here and on the look out for bargains and was hoping people would share.

If you have someone who would like dove toiletries see this thread for £30 of free dove stuff from ocado (I've already ordered mine probably use it myself though

BeaWheesht · 05/09/2012 17:49

I'm pleased to see my links have helped a few people Smile

Cinders did you manage to get the boat at that price from Argos? every time I have tried, it gives the option to order into store to collect but then when I click reserve it comes back The following items were not purchased...out of stock any ideas?

IWanders · 05/09/2012 20:08

ELC have some good offers right now

Cinders22 · 05/09/2012 20:20

PersuedByPenguins I got the same response so I ordered again and then I got 2 emails from them saying "Thanks for shopping at Argos.co.uk. If you requested it, we'll also send your reservation number by text. Please remember that these items have not yet been paid for. Please quote your reservation number at the store." I am therefore assuming that it has been ordered, twice unfortunately, so I will cancel one once they arrive in store. Have you had the email confirming the order?

Also have you look at the ToysRUs clearance? There are a couple of Playmobil toys on there at a very good price.

SharonGless · 05/09/2012 20:28

Hi loving this thread and have got a couple of Playmobil bits from Argos. The swat team is also half price but I can't get the boat. It lets me go through but then says out of stock and I get an email but no reservation number

Off to check out Toysrus...

Not that I have Playmobil obsession , oh no not me

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 20:46

ELC - you can use the code SAVANNAH, to get 20% off the sale stuff. I bought my niece the treehouse for £16. It only let me use it once, so bear that in mind. Unless any of you have this months birthday club code?

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 20:56

My email says the same but no reservation number, also if order is successful they state on the email the date the order will be held until- and it doesn't seem to have that info on my email Sad

I have actually emailed them about it (in case it is just a system error) so I will report back if I get any joy!

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 21:13

OREO Thanks for the tip on the treehouse, I am going to order it for my niece too

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 21:14

Oh no, SAVANNAH doesn't seem to be working for me Sad

reastie · 05/09/2012 21:16

Not online but speaking of playmobil (and sharons obsession with it Grin ) I saw some good discounts on a couple of bits in my local sainsburys at the week end

SAVANNAH code worked for me on non sale stuff but not sale things

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 21:28

Oh what a shame Sad I wonder if it's worth waiting for another code to come along? Confused

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 21:43

SAVANNAH worked yesterday when I bought the treehouse, but didn't work today when I ordered some toys on the 2 for £10, I wonder if it expired?

We need to find out this months birthday club code... I'll investigate and report back.

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 21:53

Right try BC0812 or BC0912.

It won't let me do it, but I have already used DD's birthday codes.

What we need is the new version of the override discount code. It was BLUEBIRD a couple of weeks ago, in the past it has been other animal names. SAVANNAH was linked to a bbc promotion I think. I'll keep looking.

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 21:54

Oh and the free delivery is scheduled to end on the 27th September, so worth trying to get any online stuff ordered before then.

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 22:02

The treehouse will stay at half price untill the 23rd, so if you want to wait a few days to see if anyone can come up with a code you will still be able to get it.

everydayaschoolday · 05/09/2012 22:25

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 22:28

Wow Oreo I'm impressed with your voucher knowledge! Unfortunately BC0812 Says it cannot be added to my order and BC0912 cannot be found, maybe Birthday club codes cannot be used with another offer? Thanks for your help Thanks

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 22:29

Just tried- both SAVANNAH and the BC codes work when on full price items, so mustn't be valid on sale items Hmm

SharonGless · 05/09/2012 22:36

And moving from playmbil to Lego star wars swamp speeder

SharonGless · 05/09/2012 22:38

Plus you get free Anakin pod as you have spent over £15
I have ordered to collect in store At the weekend

oreocrumbs · 05/09/2012 22:40

Its amazing what a bored housewife can find on t'internet of an evening Wink.

I've just double checked my order and they definitely discounted it using SAVANNAH, it was only last night. Sorry guys, I will keep an eye out and see if I can find something else to use. Grr, they must have wised up if it was a loophole.

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 22:48

Few more ELC bargains I have come across whilst trying the codes out....

john deere tractor £40 now £20

dino capture £40 now £30

also noticed that the Easels are on sale

PersuedByPenguins · 05/09/2012 22:55

Thanks Oreo, they must have sussed the loophole! But even without the extra 20% off the tree house is a good deal!

Grin at Sharon and her Playmobil/lego obsession
