Seven threads already Shock

Massive congrats to girl and thanks for supplying me with the thread title Grin . Definitely call her reastie if it’s a girl actually would work for a boy too

I’ve been a bit sporadic with this OP once again in what has been selected for adding in or not as there are too many links to add them all in, hope I haven’t forgotten anything major. 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. I haven’t checked all links to see if prices have altered since last thread so apologies if youg et very excited followed by disappointed. I will try to do better next time. 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

Is the Argos 3 for 2 just on toys, or is it on other stuff too?

AllThatGlistens · 24/09/2013 14:49

Just on toys, afaik, their fb page is getting spammed by people asking and they just keep saying they have no advance notice of offers, keep checking fb and the website blah blah blah..

Well someone def let the cat out of the bag! Grin

Brockle · 24/09/2013 14:50

the leapfrog tag junior is reduced in amazon from 24.99 to 16.47. the books are cheap too. Smile

kasbah72 · 24/09/2013 14:55

Thank you for some amazing tips on here! Have already accrued a stash of presents.

Has anyone seen any deals on an ipod touch? Doesn't have to be a fancy newest version.
Thank you!

GirlWithTheYellowHat · 24/09/2013 15:02

You can get refurbished iPods direct from the apple site.

I don't know how much an iPod costs these days but there's a few on there;

store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/ipod

(Can't remember how to do a clicky link on my phone) Confused

itsonlysubterfuge · 24/09/2013 15:10

theonly I'm not sure which one we are going to get, but I think we've decided we want a wooden one. They had a plastic one set-up at Smyths and it looked like really poor quality. We were thinking about the Ikea one, but my DH wants to buy a more expensive one with more things on it. They have a nice one in Costco.

Chockywockydoodah · 24/09/2013 15:11

We got the Asda wooden kitchen last year for DD at the reduced price of £29.99 and the price and size were perfect for us. Any child that comes to our house are drawn to it (especially as I kitted it out with wooden food, cutlery, plates, apron & oven gloves etc. before we gave it to her). It has withstood the test of time really well, but my DD is quite a gentle cook :) It does have clickable dials too.

kasbah72 · 24/09/2013 15:12

Thanks Girl, that's a great tip. Didn't realise that existed and the prices look pretty good. Thanks!

Snowgirl1 · 24/09/2013 15:42

Not a Christmas bargain, but I've just bought a Bob & Blossom long-sleeved t-shirt like this in TK Maxx for £3 from the clearance section - they're usually £16.95. I bought one with the number '2' on for DD's 2nd birthday, but they also had 1s and 4s.

madlittlechicken · 24/09/2013 16:02

I have been watching this thread with interest. Sainsburys have the disney DVDs £13 buy one get one free. Also their 25% off was good. I asked about snow boots for the kids and she went out the back and they had come in today so got those. They are good had them for years. I suppose it's not a Christmas bargain but useful for the events leading up to Christmas.

LalaDipsey · 24/09/2013 16:08

Have had a letter through confirming my Glamour subscription and 'the Gift of Murad'?!?!?! What have I done? What is the free gift supposed to be?

SpottyTeacakes · 24/09/2013 16:11

I have lala it's a male of face stuff Confused

LalaDipsey · 24/09/2013 16:38

Oh. Any good?! Feel may be getting carried away - have lost track of magazine subscriptions and whenever I go out I put a notice on the front door saying 'any parcels please leave with a neighbour'!!!

SpottyTeacakes · 24/09/2013 16:44

I don't know! Hopefully my little sister will think so Wink

iloveholidays · 24/09/2013 16:46

had an email from home bargains. think they're doing pillow pets for £4.99 again

bymoonlight · 24/09/2013 16:47

I've decided not to do the Argos 3 for 2. The few bits I wanted are not OOS and I really must stick to my the lists I have for the dc's birthdays in Nov and Christmas. Otherwise I will end up buying stuff for the sake of it and that's not saving money!

lilylaville · 24/09/2013 17:00

Erm, this morning I received a Boden gift card with 10% off, free delivery and an extra £15 off. I don't think I've bought anything from them Hmm

sniffywhiff · 24/09/2013 17:22

Just back from town and saw/got these:

Boots had Marc Jacobs perfume for £15.50 (£15 off) - no idea what kind but know that's a brand my daughter likes, so don't think she'll care . . .

Disney Store had lots - packs of Cars boy's knickers for £2.99, decent sized wheeled suitcases (Princesses, Monsters Inc) for £10.99 (half price), lots of cheap notebooks and stationery

Top Shop had piles of their Freedom jewellery down to £1 - £3.50. Some of the big chunky necklaces were £25 to start with

Tesco had lots of their American food range cheap which might help anyone making up a hamper - much, much cheaper anyway than those US food shops in High Streets but this stuff was reduced still further

River Island had boy's t shirts with a fiver off - got some Disney ones, think they're online too

Top Man had 3 for 2 on toiletries, and 20% off for students which the sales assistant gave me anyway when I said it was for my son!

sniffywhiff · 24/09/2013 17:24

Oooh, and . . . Miss Selfridge had BOGOF on their sale stuff. Got chunky jumpers (one cream, one pale blue, thick, ideal for teenage girls) reduced from £35 to £8, so really £4 each!

countingdown · 24/09/2013 17:38

Not very exciting, but I bought Soap and Glory Mist You Madly body butter in Boots today, reduced by 50% to £4.50 and on buy one get one free, so got 2 for £6.75. Planning to keep one for myself and use the other as a stocking filler.

Bloodsocks · 24/09/2013 18:08

Just had an email about £20 off selected GHD products.

babysantadue · 24/09/2013 18:17

does anyone have a elc discount code they not using i would be very grateful

attheendoftheday · 24/09/2013 18:21

On the advice of covered and mootime I've just got a couple of baseplates to go with dd1's duplo. They are only £5 on amazon for the big plates at the moment, which seems like a good price. here

RhondaJean · 24/09/2013 18:24

There seems to be something funny going on ?ith the Argos website.

I've been reserving items in batches of three but it will only reserve two - it then says the third is out of stock (even if it jsut said in stock).

It did this twice to me, but I was then able to go back for the third toy for each "set" in order to add it as a separate reservation.

Just in case anyone else is having a similar problem, your item isn't out of stock!

Reastie · 24/09/2013 18:28

At last, I've managed a new thread here

So......who's going fill up the old one? I'll race you.....
