Christmas bargain 2014 thread

[Reastie]

First new thread of 2014. So, who else is over past half way done? please don't tell me I'm the only one

Huge OP post will start back soon, but is on summer holidays until things pick up again (unless anyone wants me to stick on something?)

for everyones help on this, let's make 2014 the most bargainous yet

Re: the bakugan arena and figurine on sale at Argos...

Haven't checked website yet but when I went to put my reservation number on the screen in store the battle arena had gone up to 9.99 and the figurine was 6.99! Luckily I had my email to show I'd reserved them at a much lower price so they corrected the total for me.
Got both for under £6.

I got the Lidl Colour in playhouse today . One is a beach theme with mermaids, dolphins and turtles. The other has robots and tools on it. Think they were flying out as the till operator knew the barcode off by heart!

Ainmnua I would like someone to tell me how to do tidy links. Learned how to do smileys on this thread last year

leaves if you scroll to the bottom of this page, there is a heading in bold called Links. Underneath it explains how to do links

Bugger, I forgot all about the lidl playhouse...hope they still have some at the weekend when I next head that way!

I've got some debt to clear in the next couple of months so no shopping yet but my resolve is seriously weakening on this thread!

Some reduced Monster High Hauntlywood dolls on Amazon - £10 each:

Viperine Gorgon

Honey Swamp

Thanks for the tip on cleaning up links, I never knew how to do that! :)

Thanks Moosey but I like the way people refer to THIS and it opens the link. The word is usually blue and not in capitals. It would be great if you know

Leaves it explains how to do it below like Moosey said, you just copy and paste the link where you want it and then add some brackets and call it whatever you like :).

leaves as Mipe says, it's explained but my version ...

Start with two square brackets insert your link add a space then type the name you want to appear in post ie THIS then use two square brackets

Like this ...

THIS

Argh, bloody auto linked my example - it does show it below (the 2nd example)

Marking my place :-)

Thank you Moosey and Mipe. I totally ignored the brackets. That's why I could never do smilies. Still didn't learn. Thank You

This thread has been brilliant. Thank you all

I don't know if it will help anyone but Marks & Spencer have 20% off online today only

Also Barclaycard Bespoke Offers have an offer to buy a £20 H Samuel Gift Card for £12.50. I used it to buy this Swarovski pen for my niece. Free delivery to store. Pen was originally £24.99, so in effect it was half price.

Sorry, linky to Barclaycard offer

Don't know if anyone has linked but there's a brilliant facebook page called "FB Online Bargains for 5 -13 yr olds" that is well worth a look.

Just ordered the 57p pocket knife for DP, thanks :)

I was wondering if anyone had any deals for bath stuff please? ANything from toys to bubble bath to flannels. Santa is getting DS1 and DS2 a big box of bath things for Christmas.

Sports Direct clearance has got loads of kids snow boots in for under a fiver. There's also some ugg-like adult ones for similar prices. Online - you'd never find them in store

On Groupon there is a big box of loom bracelet stuff. Should be 20 going for 6.99

Lol - didn't spot that Reastie :) still- for 57p it's probably worth having as a stocking filler, like you say

For something a bit more substantial I also saw they had for £25 the ENGLAND 1982 World Cup Shirt - (voted the best in a recent poll). Plus shirts from many different era's. Not just England- Germany, Brazil etc too if you feel like supporting someone else :)

Sorry, feel like this is slightly turning into an 'Amazon Christmas 2014' thread but I thought these were too good not to add!

Firstly thank you again Reastie and everyone else who've contributed to your inspirational thread/s. When you think how much money MNers have saved via this and previous threads it must run into the 1000's!

Ok, this is an offer from amazon for a necklace, bracelet, ring and sweets gift set - Hello Kitty Fashion Set Box (Pack of 4) £12 BUT you can buy via subscribe and save for £11.40 - working out at £2.85 each! BUTTTT if that's not enough when you subscribe to 4 or more items that arrive in the same month (excludes nappies, sadly) you can get an additional 15% off on top of that which if my rubbishy maths is correct works out at £2.43 per gift box!! (Stocking fillers? The photo to me looks like that's the actual size)

Just don't forget to cancel subscription after delivery otherwise you'll be inundated with Hello Kitty jewellery for months on end and will have to wear it all like Mr T

If anybody's kids have seen the adverts for Cuddle Uppets, Amazon have some varieties on offer at really cheap prices (in comparison to the RRP!)

There is a lovely Winnie the Pooh version for £8.08
www.amazon.co.uk/Snuggle-Pets-Cuddleuppets-Winnie-Pooh/dp/B00B2JRROU/ref=sr_1_12?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1401997180&sr=1-12&keywords=cuddleuppets

Monkey version for £7.68

Thing is Amazon is one of the best places at the moment for the offers where they are clearing stock ready for September time.

Jersey All I've bought recently on Amazon is a ton of toys - the Moshi Monsters offers recently comes to mind!
