girlwiththeyellowhats do we have any news yet?

Fifth thread already, how did that happen?! I?ve booked our panto tickets now so am feeling very festive Grin . Tips I learnt from the last thread number 24837 - wrap a huge cardboard box in christmas gift wrap to put all the rubbish on christmas day in rather than a bin bag so you don?t get a black plastic sack in all of the photos

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 Wink ) how would I do any shopping without you now

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

I am not meant to be spending any more money, but I really want the lego lunch boxes. Decisions, decisions!

Thank you for the link.

nickdrakeslovechild · 05/09/2013 20:24

Just got back from our local tescos. I am in soooo much trouble come Christmas morning! They have a pop up shop and a pop up house both reduced to £3.75, a big trampoline reduced to £7.50, some lovely soft medium sized balls for 50p, crayola twistables special affects for £2.00, playdoh sweet jar thing reduced to £3.25. I got some other bits too but they are hiding in the car until the OH goes out and I can retrieve them. Honestly he's going to go insane.

iloveholidays · 05/09/2013 20:25

Babyborn Interactive Star Scooter £35 down to £7.50....

www.amazon.co.uk/Baby-Born-Interactive-Star-Scooter/dp/B0085ID90M/ref=sr_1_29?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1378409022&sr=1-29

No idea if RRP is correct, seems too good to be true!

nickdrakeslovechild · 05/09/2013 20:27

Also not bargains but Christmas related Tesco had lots of Christmas chocolates in and B&M had lots of toys and Christmas cards and wrapping paper.

iloveholidays · 05/09/2013 20:30

Do I go to Tesco, Do I go to Tesco???????? seriously sat here contemplating going to our local one 15 minutes away!

PoppyWearer · 05/09/2013 20:32

Thanks For the tip on The Gruffalo, I am building a library of my DCs' favourite books as a Christening present for a friend's baby, and am managing to do it on a shoestring thanks to Amazon's offers and this thread!

nickdrakeslovechild · 05/09/2013 20:32

iloveholidays go go go go to tesco, serious bargains. I had the last trampoline in ours but plenty left of the other things.

joymaker · 05/09/2013 20:32

Bluetinkerbell- thanks for posting that link, had a look and a few of them are out of stock just now (the Fair Trade chocolate ones Wink). Do they only get them in close to Christmas? I assume you've bought them before, what age do you think they are best suited to? Thanks

iloveholidays · 05/09/2013 20:33

Nick, was it all marked up?

Reastie · 05/09/2013 20:36

I can't get to tesco until tomorrow afternoon....all the good bits will be gone by then won't they Confused

No Elemis here either. I have read the mag and tbh found it a bit of a disappointment (although for £1 can't go wrong assuming my elemis arrives)

iloveholidays · 05/09/2013 20:37

I'm off. DP thinks I'm mad!!!! will report back

500internalerror · 05/09/2013 20:39

Home bargains also have monsters university sleeved blankets, £3.99 (can't link on phone!)

Insomniastrikesagain · 05/09/2013 20:43

1st post! Seems like a good deal to meal for any little people starting to learn to read...

skyeskyeskye · 05/09/2013 20:45

My Charlie book arrived today too and it is brilliant. I see the RRP is £15 so a good bargain there. :)

Tesco is 20 miles away and DD is in bed, so dont think I will make it there for their bargains :(

Bluetinkerbell · 05/09/2013 20:45

joymaker haven't got a clue, came across them through Google. I'm ordering the Real Christmas Tree Advent Calendar pack :)

Bluetinkerbell · 05/09/2013 20:46

I'll be checking out Tesco tomorrow too, going out with DD3 and no DH in tow! Wink

CatAmongThePigeons · 05/09/2013 20:48

I have no tesco in a reasonable distance. I am gutted! Hope there's lots for everyone!

RhondaJean · 05/09/2013 20:49

I've got another glamour offer which I think would make a good present in itself.

12 issues for £9 and a free goodie bag worth £40. I got a free goodie bag from them last year and it was good, lots of skin and hair products and nice stuff. Ideal maybe for a sil or a friend as a present?

Www.magazineboutique.co.uk/glamour/jgld0043

I think it's two zeros but it could be two o's.

SpottyTeacakes · 05/09/2013 20:52

Same here Cat Sad

nickdrakeslovechild · 05/09/2013 20:58

iloveholidays, yes all priced up. I could of got so much, but I have run out of people to buy for now. I even got the dog an extra pressie! Didn't see the light up princess.

SpottyTeacakes · 05/09/2013 21:01

Thanks Rhonda I got that for my not so little sister Smile

Barbeasty · 05/09/2013 21:03

I collected my mugs from the sorting office this afternoon, and they're all good, even the squirrel. But I then got home to another red card, so I'll be back tomorrow to collect my 24 Christmas story books.

Those advent calendars look good.

confusedalways · 05/09/2013 21:04

Got my free elemis bath milk today. Quite a generous bottle for freebie, packaging was very damaged though and unsuitable for a gift. Smells nice though Grin

RhondaJean · 05/09/2013 21:14

One for the grownups - if you spend over £75 at radley they are doing a free goody bag, it seems to be two radley nail varnishes and a radley nail file (which I can't find anywhere to buy to price up) and a radley tote bag which I think it worth about £10.

RhondaJean · 05/09/2013 21:16

Sorry the free gift is supposed to be worth £35
