Christmas bargrain thread 4 - massive sale with loads of tits and a preclit christmas tree

[Reastie]

Thread four already.

As previously, if you shot a link in the OP links isn’t working/no longer in date, please let me know by posting in bold so I can easily see to update

Ahem, I can’t actually remember if I updated the links from 2 threads ago. I think I have, but I’m not sure. If you spot any links that don’t work and you’ve already told me please tell me again in bold and sorry.

I've managed to get as far as half way through the last one (I know, I know, could do better) so if there's anything you think from the last thread that got missed off please let me know and I'll amend for next one.

My Studio24 Xmas catalogue has just arrived!! Eek!!

Sorry to hear about the cancelled JL orders - mine all arrived Monday morning after ordering late Friday night so it must just be luck of the draw.

Just popped on to say our local Sainsbury's had half price costumes - we got Captain America for £6.50. They also had Iron Man, Spiderman, pirates and various princessy things (bit vague on those as not really DS1's thing!). They weren't marked as reduced, just came up at the till so not sure if it does apply to everything. Lovely unexpected bargain though.

spotted some Cath Kidson mugs in TK Maxx for 2.99 today. They are quite small but would make a nice small gift for maybe a teacher or as part of a bigger pressie

Also spotted quite a bit of le cruset stuff for a foodie pressie

Yo Reastie! How the heck are you?
Made my first purchases today courtesy of the thread's Amazon links. (Clock thingy, owl bracelet and peacock bracelet)
I've got a flavourly email too but haven't read it yet. I still keep getting samples from that trattoria thingy...does everyone else? Feeling almost guilty as never bought diddly from them!

Hi sangria! I keep getting the fattoria(?!) thing too but no samples just super posh booklets!

In a bit of a panic that I had not yet ordered DD's frozen dresses for Christmas from AliExpress , I have just spent the best part of 2 hours tying to filter out the 44,000 odd search results for frozen dress .

I must have put at least 20 into my wish list so I could compare them but when I had finished there were only 8 there so not sure where the other disappeared to! Anyhow, I have just ordered 5 dresses (3 frozen ones) for £22 so hopefully they will be ok....I'm pretty sure DD will love them whatever they look like! I'll report back when they arrive. Oneoff I'm glad you're chuffed with your swimsuit.

Oh bloomin heck...just realised I need to get a tiara as well...I'll have to do that another day I'm totally AliExpressed out!

Earlytorise no I didn't have any luck with getting the micro scooter either...not even my annoying multiple phonecalls to the store persistence paid off

Where is the light up christmas tree please or is it a joke?!

Hi Sangria :) Like Spotty, I've just been getting the booklet things but no samples other than the original wine/oil/spaghetti I got way back last year.

In other news, I think my delivery man hates me already. I must have had millions of parcels lately ok, not quite 1 million! I see him everyday, and it's only going to get worse the closer Christmas gets

My delivery guy is really friendly. He says he doesn't mind as I keep him in business plus he will always leave my parcel for me if I'm not in

I think me answering the door to him one morning (at 7.30 so I wasn't expecting him then tbf!) in just a towel with hairy legs hasn't helped

I haven't had an email from Flavourly and got the Christmas box last year - what am I missing out on?!

Sorry, missed a bit off my last post. Anyway, I was in such a flap as I was just in a towel, with hairy legs, wet unbrushed hair and no make up on that I basically chucked his machine thing that you sign and it fell on the floor, then he told me off telling me not to throw his machine on the floor

I guess you had to be there . I just wish I had different delivery people! Or I could stop spending money

MildDrPepper, thanks for those suggestions. I haven't got a Home Bargains near me, sadly. I check Poundland when I'm in but find the quality variable - like felt tips that don't last. But sometimes they do come good!

Thank you for the weblink FreedomToPost, I will check them out later!

And thank you ZipZap, you may have hit on the holy grail - offcuts and the like are exactly the sort of thing I'm after, but I've never heard of scrap shops. Off to google our nearest now - though I could tie an Ikea trip in to make a Milton Keynes visit justifiable!

You're all wonderful, thanks v much!

Just bought the taste card and tablet deal. We've been interested in getting a taste card anyway, and the tablet can be used to amuse ds, even if it's not great quality

Long time lurker here . There is 20% off Marks and Spencer clothing, homeware and beauty from 14th to 18th August with online code AUG14A5

Ooh Holfin will that offer be instore too?

Iseechickens - if u have a toysrus near you it's worth popping in. I wanted an item recently that said reading was the closest store too - but they had it in my local Govan store

for anyone with Octonaut mad DC my local Asda was selling character and creature sets for £2.50 today reduced from £5.97

2organised thank you, will try and get to my local one and check.

Madaboutthrows I think you need one if the actual Friends & Family vouchers to get the discount in store.

Gah! Why don't I live near an Asda!
