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.

Ive bought DH a nespresso for Xmas (I am not a sheep ) so if anyone sees offer for nespresso pods will you please let me know?

Thanks!

Just look for the silver bags that say TASSIMO and they should have a number in the bottom corner eg 8 or 16 and they're the pods. Loads of types/flavours.
I expect there will be offers on them in different places?
They do a milk type pod that gives you the frothy layer on the top, think it's called creamer? You buy them seperately.

I saw those too BakeOffQueen! I'll be giving it to DP then immediately making myself an Oreo drink. Ooh and a Cadbury's hot chocolate

Who makes the coffee for the Tassimo? DH wants one, but we are No Nestlé house.

What's the code for it , please?

Forget that - got it!

Thanks Lottie I'll order some next week when I'm back at work and have them delivered there.

RJnomore Lidl were doing some pods which fit Nesspresso machines. I am going to get DH some to try as they were fraction of the price of real ones.

Feck it I just bought a Tassimo too

The cadburys tassimo is really disappointing. I like all the other 3 (milka, suchard or oreo). Coffee is carte noir or costa. If your getting it for a present and looking for stocking fillers I'd recommend getting an insulated mug. I love that I can take a good cup of coffee to work with me.

Oh my word! I'm twitching for a tassimo. Purely for the reason that it would be good for the Christmas eve hot chocolate bar. Sits on hands

Voldermort I will stay strong if you do

I'm also sitting on my hands.

I have just bought a Tigger and Hello Kitty cuddleuppet from my local Home Bargains. They were £7.99 and £5.99 and are lovely and soft. They also had Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Sulley. The Sulley face was really disappointing. They are also online.

The same blankets are £19.99 at argos so a good price.

I want a Tassimo but we are on holiday next week so am hoping they are still on offer when I get home!

Party pieces has a christmas sale and halloween

freedom, the website T&Cs say "The Promotion will start at 00:01 on 19.08.2014 and end at 23:59 on 31.08.2014."

Oh bugger

Im staying strong Spotty. Keep having to remind myself I'm saving for New York in November and I need spends for Black Friday. Oh and I really haven't got space for another dust collector

Just bought DH a tassimo! Might give him it for his birthday rather than Xmas though, off to find some bargain pods now...

Thanks to whomever found the deal!

Have successfully managed to not order anything in the last 24 hours

Cant remember if anyone's mentioned it but I'm sure morrisons and tescos have the tassimo pods on offer at the moment for £3 (usually £5ish)

Just bought two tassimos for two of my brothers.
I don't drink coffee but they both love it so any coffee recommendations greatly appreciated

Some of the Tassimo drinks come with separate milk discs, the latte's, cappuccino's etc. They are the more expensive drinks.

I'm not keen on dairy milk, so we buy the plain coffee discs - a selection of different types, we do a huge order from Tassimo when they have an offer on & order enough for free delivery - and I heat my soya milk, (aldi sweetened), in a plastic beaker at the same time as the Tassimo is brewing. Then pour the milk into the coffee

OH loves their Chai Lattes & Lemongrass Chai Lattes, but they are the only ones we order now that come come with milk pods. Works out much better value per drink.

For those of you who might be near carnaby street or Leeds dr marten shops.

On Tuesday only they are selling originals, shoes and boots, for the original price of £3. One per customer.

BuildersBum, do you use any particular mugs/glasses for your Tassimo? I suddenly thought that the coffee might not fit in our teeny mugs.
