Dh has been to the comet sale, said was quite naff but they did have kindle fires for £116.
We were going for an mp3 player but they didn't have any.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 08/11/2012 09:24

marking my place...

thanks for all these gorgeous bargins ladies

DangerousMouse · 08/11/2012 09:24

carpediem I dont know how to link on here, but I got the hand wash/hand cream lily of the valley set from Laura Ashley, they were £16 reduced to £7 then on 3 for 2 with an extra 10% off, so get bargain! Not sure if they are still doing the 3 for 2 on reduced items as the glitch may have been fixed!

bleedingheart · 08/11/2012 09:26

Music & rock band logo t-shirts 30% off all items until Sunday 11th November. Great for the discerning muso!

MistressIggi · 08/11/2012 09:33

Embarassed to say I was still up at one am last night, having spent 3 hours doing Laura Ashley and then Mothercare orders! (Very sad to have to take two personalised stockings out of basket when I realised they didn't count as toys so no discount).
Oh, shall I lug myself and baby to the Comet on far side of city I wonder? Would only be after a tv or a coffee maker I think. Bought a lovely oven from comet last year.

MistressIggi · 08/11/2012 09:34

Sorry for the 'thinking aloud' post, on ML so have no-one to talk to!

WeAllHaveWings · 08/11/2012 09:45

Just ordered an iPod Touch 16GB for ds from Tesco.

Cost £159 + £3 delivery.

Got 2149 clubcard points (= £21.49, will keep and double up to ~£43 at next event)

Also used dh's email address and code TDX-WRKT for £10 off first Tesco direct delivery.

So got for £159 + £3 - £43 - £10 = £109 Smile

EdsRedeemingQualities · 08/11/2012 09:57

I went in Comet the other day as we were next to it anyway - barely anything was reduced, but I guess they need to make as much as they can to pay off their debts?

I said I was sorry they are closing. They all looked pretty fed up.

MistressIggi · 08/11/2012 10:01

Could anyone who's been to Primark tell me about the Christmas duvets? Do they do adult/double ones as well as kids? Blush

Lastyearsmodel · 08/11/2012 10:27

The Laura Ashley thing was a glitch giving 3 for 2 and 30% off at the same time. It was reportedly going to be fixed overnight so have no idea how long it will be valid for. The 3 for 2s can be found by searching the LA website for '3 for 2'.

whoneedstosleep · 08/11/2012 10:33

Just used the £10 oasis voucher from LOOK magazine to buy these
£6.99 delivered

dinkydoos · 08/11/2012 10:34

Hi

Delurking to say big thanks for this thread and to let you know the Laura Ashley thing still works.

Some decent presents there, as said search on 3 for 2. But beware as if you buy a lot of items at different prices it just takes of the cheapest three, so stick to similar price items for max discount! The code n501 also worked for extra 10%.

I got Lots of these for teacher gifts

www.lauraashley.com/invt/3534855

£7 each bit on 3 for 2 , makes them less than a fiver each.

Happy shopping, really must stop looking at this thread, and do some work!

dinkydoos · 08/11/2012 10:36

Hm, don't think link worked
On search type in 3 for 2 lily

And it's the first item, boxed hand wash and hand lotion down from £16 to £7 then the 3 for 2 also applies on top

Arithmeticulous · 08/11/2012 10:37

The Paperie have 10% off leather journals and free delivery over £10 this week.

Oodthunkit · 08/11/2012 10:44

,

iloveholidays · 08/11/2012 10:44

10% off or 15% off over £75 at M&S until midnight tomorrow with code: MNSVCNOV.

Can only be used once per account holder. Can not be used in conjunction with another code.

Think I might order some wrapping paper!

notso · 08/11/2012 10:48

WeAllHaveWings does your DH have his own clubcard, I tried to use DH's email with my CC number and it wouldn't let me. Sad

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 08/11/2012 10:52

Haven't read entire thread(s), but thought I'd give the heads up about the Lego Monsters castle thingy. It's £59.99 on Amazon, £79.99 everywhere else I've seen it. Just ordered one for DS2.

Arithmeticulous · 08/11/2012 11:27

You know what - I'm done Grin

I can't possibly spend any more. I've bought from Nike, Body Shop, Debenhams, Dotcomgiftshop, Time to Spa, Boots, Figleaves, White Company, Book People, Red House, Schoolastic, La Redoute, eBay, ELC, Yellow Moon, Amazon ... I've bought for 8 adults and 20+ kids, 6 teachers - I've not paid full price for anything Grin

Thank you.

mummy1986 · 08/11/2012 11:30

do you have to put a code in for the 3 for 2 on laura ashley?

Heavywheezing · 08/11/2012 11:49

N549 for free delivery with. Laura ashley

dinkydoos · 08/11/2012 12:04

Mummy1986
You don't need a code for the 3 for 2 , it just does it when you check out, but also a space to put in extra codes like ones mentioned arlier for 10 % off or free del.

Chockywockydoodah · 08/11/2012 12:09

Heavy N549 did not work for me, says invalid promotion code. And it states that it does not apply to gift certificates. I wonder if this could also be because I'm not a first time shopper with Laura Ashley?

No biggie, I really didn't need to buy the items in my shopping basket anyway, I only wanted to buy them!!! Must stop looking at this thread and spending....I'm addicted..... Wink

3bunnies · 08/11/2012 12:11

Just been to comet's 'fire sale', more like simmering ashes imho. 10 percent off full price for most things, 20 percent off ink, but still was more expensive than internet, and 30 percent off a few things. Most people were just browsing. It's a shame as their customer service was better than some of the competition, but I decided for just a 10 percent saving I would wait for the real sales and get things I can return easily, or until they cut prices further.

sunnyshine · 08/11/2012 12:29

Any smyths toys discounts about !? Thanks
