Anyone who has the shopscansave app how do you get the code? I can't click on anything except for the mcains

Twll I would say unless you are Thorntons crazy or know loads of people that are, it doesn't look that amazing to me. It's essentially 6 boxes of chocolates and a bunch of bags and smaller items. That's not much for £50 IMO.

Marks and Sparks had their massive Milk choc box half price the other week, and they also had some gorgeous French salted caramel biscuits in a lovely square French tin for £5. Other sweet gifts I have bought:

CostCo Fudge in 2 house shaped boxes (£5)
CostCo massive Panettone in tin(£7)
M and S salted caramel waffles (£2)
99p shop orange creams
(NB I am an orange cream fanatic, and they are not bad.)
Aldi nougat Torrone (£2)
Aldi chocolate marzipan hearts(£2)
Aldi mint fauxblerone for DH (

Thanks MrsLoveChristmas I just ordered it :)

Twllbach I signed up in September and as of 2pm this afternoon hadn't as yet received my Bodyshop gift but just after then the doorbell rings and it was the postie with my free set which is rather substantial I must say. Chances are probably quite slim this side of Christmas as up thread I posted that I rang them and they told me early January as it was so popular. Also the email I got just after subscribing said that allow up to 28 days so I wouldn't hold your breath. Fingers crossed for you though.

Loccitane have a free tote bag when you spend £45 with code WEB8 and free delivery over £40 with QUICK - no idea if they stack.

I got Christmas toilet roll in Morissons on Monday. It's The Snowman And The Snowdog style. 4 rolls for £2.50 bogof

The code "MHOULA50" should give 50% off everything on Love Stretch - it's a pretty £££ website selling quite naice Yoga and loungewear type stuff, looks a bit Hush/Mint Velvety - Ash, Petit Bateau, Cashmere stuff. Worth a look for yourself sisters/friends/SIL's?

It's ok I've worked it out

Christmas loo roll in Wilko's - snowman and the snowdog, and in Aldi - Christmassy fox and sparkly trees with baubles on (nicer than I can describe). Have kitchen roll to match in both stores too.

Loo roll x4 - £1.99
Kitchen roll x2 - £1.49

Ooooo I like the sound of the Aldi one. WIBU to drive 6 miles on my day off on Friday to Aldi with the sole purpose of buying Christmas loo roll?

Have I lost the plot?

TBH I am scared to go to Aldi now before Christmas. I will twitch and buy all the marzipan and Stollen items.

I need your help dear fellow bargain hunters. I need to buy for my fussypants SIL. Budget £30. She is 31, single, fussy, likes her nails being nice, has every decent perfume there is (I was going to give her the Rhianna and the dove stuff, but thought better of the perfume, and the dove stuff has not yet arrived. She loves clothes but thinks she is a size 12 (she ain't!) and she is fussy. Preferably from somewhere that accepts High Street Vouchers. Thanking you in anticipation

Could you book her a hand massage and manicure?

I'm waiting for a glamour gift from the beginning of September!

Theoodkind can you explain as I'm a dinlow for me please?

Can someone confirm the difference in contents between the Christmas flavourly box and the December subscription box?

Do I need both???

Its on the first tab. They allocate a barcode to you not the product. So just scan one barcode at the till. (I think)

I'm here.... I'm after both!! DD would worry that one has lost its friend etc if she only had one. Will try and take anyone that comes in stock first and just hope I will be able to get the other before Xmas too.

If someone manages to catch them in stock I would be so grateful if you could get me 1 of each. I will pay you back via paypal immediately or which ever way suits. Thank you. X

The shopscansave offer should be at the top of the list but it does say it will disappear if the limit is reached.

However dh just checked @ it's still on his.

Don't suppose anyone knows the best place to get hold of decent men's Levi 501s for not a lot of money?

Complete Thomas the Tank Engine book set £25 on the Book People. RRP £200.

CatAmoung - you must be an cockney using words like 'Dinlow'

Big discounts on Taste cards on their website for those hard to buy for people !

And three nice looking children's books for £7 each or 3 for £20:

Roald Dahl's Heroes and Villains7

The Quentin Blake Treasury

A Classic Story for Every Day

It's saying RRP 19.99 each so all three for the price of one seems pretty good! They do look lovely, but I am all bought for small people already...

Aldi also have festive bin bags in, 8 for 99p. They are cool or I'm a saddo!

I ordered the glamour / bodyshop thing at the end of Sept and it arrived yesterday :)
