Why doesn't ocado deliver here!!!!

PuffPants · 06/10/2012 23:22

I can't find a single item on that bananas website that's actually in stock! Confused

milkymocha · 06/10/2012 23:26

Thats rubbish Rhoda! Could you get them delivered to a relatives house/work?
Free delivery and supposedly coming on Monday between 2-3pm Smile

wildpoppy · 06/10/2012 23:43

That's great holyautumn. Where is your local tesco? I've never seen bargain bins at my quite small local one.

FredWorms · 06/10/2012 23:52

So this Boden code, is it a gift voucher then?

I'm more than happy to bandy codes about but that's a bit too close to fraud, isn't it? It just feels like cheating!

Aspiemum2 · 07/10/2012 00:17

Have bitten the bullet and ordered MB goodies. Had to close the browser each time to get it to work - anyone else had this?

Stopped at 3 just now, will wait and see if it goes through ok then maybe order more!!

reastie · 07/10/2012 07:24

I've just given the boden codes a punt too - bought a new baby gift for a friend who's expecting for £1.25! Seems too good to be true so we shall see...

Thanks for ocado code, will use that next week and spend the money off on a heston christmas pud (which will hopefully end out being free Grin )

Must stop reading this thread, I'm nearly done on presents now!

Thanks for the Red House link to the Harry Potter book - the new Lego Magical World book is double the price on Amazon so, with free delivery too, it's a real bargain!

shelley72 · 07/10/2012 09:30

aspiemum i had the same trouble with MB - but (i think) i have managed to order some hand creams for DS reception teacher/TA.
am tempted to try the boden code thing too as have seen a very cute top for DD but i buy from them a lot and they might think i am up to no good...

rhondajean · 07/10/2012 09:36

The Biden code isn't a gift voucher- I have never ordered from Biden before now and they sent me through the codes in letters for some reason to entice me in, so they're genuine money off codes. Just not sure if they will honour them more than once - we will see!

rhondajean · 07/10/2012 09:37

Biden? Confused

laurenamium · 07/10/2012 09:43

Marking my place and saying thank you for the links to the Angelina books! I will post any offers as I find them too Smile

50% off canvas prints at www.photobox.com with the code MEMORIES, you can get your own photos put on so could be a nice gift for older relatives if you force photos of your DC on relatives like I do Grin

Boots Paul smith aftershave 100ml £15. It's their offer of the week - so I will keep an eye out to see what they are putting on offer each week. This is instore or online.

PessimisticMissPiggy · 07/10/2012 10:40

Great thread! Marking place Thanks

LaTrucha · 07/10/2012 10:47

Hi,

I'm trying to find the Duplo stone quarry at a cheaper price. If anyone has any ideas, can you please post. TIA.

BlameItOnTheCuervo · 07/10/2012 10:59

little league world series baseball wii game only £4.50

oreocrumbs · 07/10/2012 11:23

LaTrucha I've had a scout around and the price you have in tesco is the cheapest I can see. Usually they sell between £50 and £60.

I think you will have to keep an eye out for a specific lego/duplo offer, or if you have any tesco reward vouchers wait for the next exchange due end Nov/start Dec and double up on the value.

They sell on the lego site for £50, so it's worth keeping eyes peeled to see if they put any discount vouchers out in the run up to christmas.

Put it on your Amazon watch list. Look every day, the prices change on Amazon constantly - usually by a few pence but every now and then they drop them - probably as a price match to another major retailer. That will take out some of the leg work for you!

LaTrucha · 07/10/2012 12:08

Thanks for that oreocrumbs!

Aspiemum2 · 07/10/2012 12:46

Wish I'd remembered to use quidco for all these bargains - the cash back would have been adding up quick. Hope the rest of you have remembered!

Heartbeep · 07/10/2012 13:56

Tesco have the sylvanian family bluebell cottage in store for £20, seems to be unavailable online at the moment.
