Christmas bargrain thread 5 - with ‘furry boobs’, and ‘can somebody please explain why I have just bought Elf on the shelf when I have a house full of teenagers’

[Reastie]

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.

myhen I got some from an ebay seller last year.
this seller has a variety of designs & different lengths.

myhen if you can wait, Lidl normally have various cellophane rolls- Christmassy or plain (I'm now getting excited about their Christmas pasta! I need to remember it's still only August!!)

Just a quick thank you post to whoever posted the following:

Stunt scooter lightening deal
Survival bracelet
Bunny lights
Cookie cutters
Ear wax thingy (Dh will be thrilled!)

All ordered and en route!

RosieBdy my sister is a Manager in Lidls so as soon as they are planning on getting the cellophane in I will post on here. I still have a bag of the Xmas pasta from last year - it's ok until Mid-2015!! I forgot I even had it so never used it last year!

I got my cellophane from the floristry suppliers in 2010 for under £10 and it is still going strong!

Tassimo have just emailed to say my coffee maker will be delivered tomorrow!

Oooooooh! Even more excited now KEgirlonFire thank you! I only bought two packets last year and my lot loved it, but all sold out when I went back to get more... Will stock up this time!

CHRISTMAS PASTA!!! No one told me anything about Christmas pasta.

Thanks all for the cellophane links and tips.

I can't believe it's the end of August and I'm pretty much done and I really want to pack! That would be just silly right?

Christmas pasta!!!! Oh the things I learn from this thread.
I got an email from the entertainer this morning, quite a few Frozen bits, like jigsaws at good price

I still have a bag of reindeer pasta from I'm from last year. You can't beat Christmas pasta

OK DH has banned me from making any more purchases for an indefinite period . But Christmas pasta wouldn't count would it? Being a food so a necessary rather than a frivolity.

DP will kill me if I start shopping before September but I am following with great interest!!! Thank you for some of the links posted so far, have bookmarked quite a few ;) DD is due on Wednesday so i feel like once she's here I can start in earnest :)

Just wondering if people have ever ordered from Amazon Warehouse? Seen a couple of bits on there listed as simply open box which would be absolutely fine for DS who is only 2 but don't want to order if it turns out the products aren't pretty much brand new!

Xxx

I was in my local Works yesterday and they told me that they are getting a load of Frozen stuff in over the next 3 weeks. Might be worth keeping an eye on. Hopefully they'll do the tin for 2.99, I seem to have a slight obsession with them . I'm not even going to pretend the Gruffalo one was for the kids!

Morrisons have some tassimo coffee packs on offer at £3 each for 16.

duzzlightyearsmum DH and I bought DSS the Skylanders game a couple of years back from Amazon warehouse and it was perfectly fine - the listing said the box had been opened but it had been resealed and everything was inside and fine.

How long do the personalised coke bottles take to arrive? DSS is desperate to find one with his name on!

Well you have to eat reastie I don't think food counts

Mind you I wouldn't ask him to clarify in case you get the answer you don't want to hear!

Can anyone help re. the questions about the singing Frozen dolls?

Thanks for the link to the coffee machine I wasn't going to get one but decided to get one for the inlaws! I don't drink coffee and know nothing about it. Could someone tell me/show me what pods (is that what they're called?) I need to get please? Thanks

I ordered Wilf a coke bottle (Wilfred is very rare on name things!)
It arrived in about ten days!!!

Just ordered a Tassimo for DP! He loves coffee so I had been looking at coffee machines for him for Christmas but there's so many to choose from. A bargain £35 made my decision much easier!

Where's the best cheapest place to buy the pods?

BakeOffQueen, on Argos it said to use the T Pods. Whatever one of those might be

Another Tassimo sheep here. Brilliant for my bf. We bought one on a similar offer a year or so ago. I don't drink coffee. Dh does but good for hot chocolate.

I have it on good authority from my sister that the lidls frozen Christmas food (nb: REAL food not anna/elsa type food ) will be in store jn september but the rest of the stuff isn't due in until october. Love their mini stollen. Lovely!!

If I get any further updates I will let you all know.

Haha. Thanks Cheesecake

Omg. I was just looking online at Tesco for the tassimo pods, and they do an oreo flavoured one! Need.
