Awesome thread! Mumsnet at its very best.
Not much to add but B & M had festive cereal bowls - China not plastic - for 99p each - OH just raised an eyebrow so I shall go back tomorrow and buy 8 !
But of huge importance I got FREE CHOCOLATE today in Asda! Cashpoint receipts are giving you 25p off a new Magnum chocolate bar so obviously got DS to pick up randomly dropped receipts and then at the till the voucher scanned 65p off making them free!
And they are quite yummy!

Marking place. Skint as this year, relationship breakdown, 3 dc's of a huge age gap, reduction in hours at work and am utterly amazed at the bargains being posted!!

Thanks everyone :-)

MsJupiterJones- Photobox quality is second to none, they will always be more expensive at the outset than say, Vistaprint, (who irritate me to glory with their Ryanair approach to the extras...) I've ordered this year from a couple of other places (Snapfish and Photoworld) because the offers were too offertastic to refuse, but still have one to do, and will use my trusty Photobox.
Albelli photobooks (one free, see Reastie's OP) are the bollocks though.

geekinthepink it's in Reastie's marvellous list. It's NC15PP and is for 15% off and free delivery which is amazing. The most I've ever had from EB is free delivery!

farovertheainbow I don't have that gordon ramsay book but I've got a couple of his others and I've found them quite cheffy/faffy, but that could just be the books I have and might not be the case of this one

youreallabunchof that's it, our secret signal shall be a festive goat

waitmonkey better luck next time eh?

survival I'm so sorry . Hope you get there and get what you want.

Re: boden codes starting 'z' that we (including me) used. It seems according to the fb boden group I belong to that they are actually party organisers codes used for the party organisers to get a discount on items they sell at their parties when ordering stock...... . So I can't be sure Boden will honour them or not. Will keep you updated with my order

This till?

Hmmmm...what is photobox, please?

We lost my lovely dad in July so this Xmas will be hard on all of us but especially my mum...she has been hinting at wanting a professional photo done of us all, but I am thinking maybe one of the grand kids would be a nice Xmas gift?
Any ideas/tips?
Thanks x

I have a Tesco flyer with £15 off a £60 online grocery shop for first time orders. Sadly the code is one use only and I intend to use it to buy shit loads of alcohol some satsumas and whole grain muesli but I have also found XXLLPT that will give £12 off a first time shop- better than a poke in the eye :)

survival I'm so sorry for your loss . I hope we can offer a little light relief and festive cheer for you.

Now here is my tip for you. Sainsbury's toy sale is overrated IMHO. I have never made to a store on sale day, but there are certainly better deals available on Amazon than in their online sale.

Last year I was after monster high stuff. Sainsbury's had the create a monster kit reduced from £18 to £13. I bought it on amazon for £8.66 .

Amazon dropped their prices to match Argos' 3 for 2 a couple of weeks ago too. Which made it cheaper to buy things from them - or the same price if you happen to want 3 of the same priced things.

So if you can't get to the sale, come and have a cuppa with us as we unearth who has the best deals on what. We will make sure you get some bargains.

Sorry you have been through the mill too voodoo hopefully we can save you some money!

Sorry to hear about your dad Badvoc, photobox is another company like vista print, snapfish etc.

They sell all manner of photo stuff. They are my favourite (and IMO the best) but also the most expensive. Groupon will shortly be doing an offer on their calendars - which is when I have bought mine each Christmas otherwise they are about £20 each.

Sign up for their emails though and you get sent money off codes all the time.

Ah, thanks Oreo.
A calendar might be good, then!

Polly Pocket wall party candy shop £7.50

Shamelessly place marking!

The various amazon bargain s for under a pound are fav! Thanks all!!

Badvoc, the Albelli link in OP, also gives you a fantabulous "free" photobook (well, if you opt for their £14.95 one, then you only pay p and p) and the book is almost A4 size as opposed to 6 x 4 teensy tinesy ones that are usually the "free" photobook offer.

When I did my free p/book with Albelli they sent me then a voucher code for an unlimited amount of extra pages for only £23 instead of £70 odd that it would have been if I'd gone through without a code.

Re Sainsburys don't forget John Lewis will price match. Free delivery over £30 or free delivery to Waitrose.

Duplo train is back to £8.67 on Amazon. Perfect for DD's stocking.

Thank you.

PastaBeeandCheese does the item have to be in stock on Sainsbury website? I'm not totally sure how their price match works but if it saves me an early morning trip to Sains may be worth finding out!

I love that boden skirt, especially the yellow one....but I have two boys!

Wow! I was lurking on your earlier threads, and picked up a few bit, but I think I've missed threads 5-16 :o

This year DS will be just over 2.7 and is already mentioning Santa. I am so excited!!

So far I have got him a garage playset and a scooter, maybe only need a few more bits.

Dh is sorted as he got an iPad for his birthday In September that is also his Christmas! Just a few funny bits for his stocking.

Mil gets slippers and pjs (she doesn't leave the house ever, so anything else would be a waste)

Sil still undecided, £20 budget

Dsis and her DP and his Dd (5) still to sort

Dbro and his DP just bought a house so they may just want cash

Dmum and dad are always a nightmare because they "never want anything"

4 girls aged 3 8 8 &10 usually get them clothes because I need a girlie clothes fix

Think that's my list! No doubt I'll end of doubling my original budget, but hey! It's Christmas!

I'm now off to check all the links!

I love that QVC gift wrap set...I need to check what I've bought that I could stuff into all those bags

Otherwise I'll end up buying more gifts to fill them all with
