Ho ho ho sleigh bells are a ringing, it’s christmas bargains thread number 3 with jingle bells on top of the christmas cake

[Reastie]

Special festive title for spottyteacakes . Here we go people, the THIRD bargain Christmas thread for 2013 already . Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another ) how would I do any shopping without you now

for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous

Nigella's jumbleberry jam is delicious and so easy to make plus you can use any fruit you have

IJustNeedaNap - you need jars which will take at least a litre of liquid so jam jars will be a bit too small. If you can't find any cheap ones, then you can use old bottles (or the bottles that the vodka/gin come in) - just makes it a bit more fiddly to get the fruit and sugar in/out.

You need to wash the jar and rinse the fruit. Lots of recipes on line but as said up thread, you can just go by eye and add a third of a jar of fruit and about 8oz of sugar. You can then taste it later on (after a month at least) and add more sugar if needed. You can even add sugar after you've strained it off (tea towel tied loosely round a jug and get a second pair of hands to help!)
You'll find some recipes ask for sugar syrup - basically melt the sugar in water first, don't need to buy this (but you can). It makes a thicker end product as you can get more sugar into the bottle by melting it into a syrup first - so good if you prefer a sweeter one.
And yes - cheap gin/vodka will do - as you are adding so much sugar/fruit that as long as it isn't total paint stripper it would be hard to tell. We have used Aldi gin and cheapest Tesco vodka before and both were lovely.
Very jealous of your blackberries!

My local Claire's has got a sale on atm, buy any 3 sale items for €5. There might be a similar offer in uk? I got both dds new beach bags (peppa pig and hello kitty) and a new purse for myself. Hello kitty bag priced at €24 originally so great bargain

Thank you Oreo and chocolate ill e giving it a go this weekend

How long will play doh keep for? Offer on elc website is great but DS is a bit small for it at the mo...

If anyone wanted to get a new Xmas album this year then best to get it soon - some cheap ones on Amazon at the moment. They always bump up the price from about October so best to get ASAP.

The Works blue cross sale is now on. 30% off all lines, limited period. Code: bluecross30

Thanks for the Ewan the Dream Sheep info! New baby due in January and I've never seen it that cheap so I've bought one early for him/her

This thread is bankrupting me

I followed this thread last year and got a few bargains. Have been lurking this year also and have my first contribution. Galt art kits are on sale at sainsburys. I've hoarded a few as birthday presents but may hold some in reserve as stocking fillers. I have 4dds and there seems to be a birthday party every other week!

www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/shop/toys_and_nursery/entertainthefamily/list.html;SOLSESSIONID=SV7NHpHbNB0ZlmDH3pdh9FdkXcWwbfYnTxm1Hv3fDLvTpCPpz3HD!1617896433!356645380?fnav=4294896830&bmUID=1377155999655

joymaker I got the toot toot everyday vehicles for £4.97 last year (17th Oct to be exact). They kept dropping the price every so often but not for long so you had to be quick.

^^from Amazon

Birding Playdoh keeps for ages. Ds has had some for over a year, which we have played with loads and it is fine. A few have got slightly dry so have kneaded in a few drops of water (discovered this after he took a lump in the bath!). Like felt tips, I remind him to put the tops back on to get into good habits.

Laugh and learn tea set £10.99 this was talked about yesterday morning and has been dropped to it's best price! Good for 9mth + I would say, goes well with the cookie jar I linked yesterday.

Joymaker, yes will report back asap!

Home Bargains usually have some great stuff, especially toys. Best to look instore as they have more but if you're not local to one the website has new products each week.

Clint Eastwood 35 film box set £35.71, it's best price.

I bought this for DP (for considerably more money) a couple of years ago and its great value.

Ben and holly elf tree play set Was £34.99 now £12.99 Argos.

John Rocha 14cm trinket box reduced from £22 to £8.80 and matching photo frame reduced from £17 to £6.80 + 5% cashback with quidco

Thanks voldemort for the link...missed it first time around.

managed to baggsie one for dd and one for dn.

I'm looking for a cheap jewellery box for my dd, who'll be almost 5 at Christmas for her plastic tat precious bits and bobs. Anything I've seen is a bit pricey and she's a bit heavy handed. I like the one's that have a little ballerina or something that turns when the music is played, doesn't have to be like that though. Anyone seen any during their bargain hunting?

Birding I've found play doh keeps really well even if left out for a while. The ELC soft stuff drys out very quickly so you have to be militant about putting the tops back on.

I have been following this thread forever and have finally got something to add. Fisher price jumperoo on Amazon for £53.99.
