My £2 olaf from Ali express came today and he's great! Nice soft velvety plush, and has a disney store label.

Hi all. Update on the video cameras. They are very lightweight and rudimentary. I bought the cases too, and the cases are much bigger than the cameras, but at least I can store the manuals, and all the cables that came with them in them. They do not come with a memory card so you need to buy that separately. They are fine for the boys and I have a widget where you can stick the photocard in the ipad dock and upload the movies straight to their ipads, but if they had been any more expensive I would be disappointed.

Oh I do love this thread. Have picked up some of the russian doll lip salves (12 were cheaper than 4!) and some of the little animal key ring torches so thanks to those who posted those.

Any one got any recommendations for a cheap kids camera? Must be pretty indestructible and easy to use. Thanks in advance.

Ciate nail lab, worth £65 for £29.99, use NEW15 for a discount too (sorry can't remember how much it was a pop up that appeared when I clicked on the page)

Has anyone bought the red or dead clutch bag discounted on amazon?? I am interested in getting one for Dsis and dsil.

HopeAndStories · 12/09/2014 10:50

Just had a quick look and there's a few good bits on Groupon today, like a coffee machine for £13.99 from £70 and a stand mixer for £70 from £300.

If anyone spots any cheap Uno cards can you let me know please. I'm not paying £6 for a glorified deck of cards!

lucysmam · 12/09/2014 11:19

Fern it might be worth checking Wilko - dd1 spotted some of their own brand games in there last weekend (I didn't actually look so not sure what they have but the ones we have were between £3 and £5 each).

Ainmnua · 12/09/2014 11:51

3pigs definitely go for a bigger size. I've ordered quite a few dresses and only one has come as "proper" sizing.

kiwidreamer · 12/09/2014 11:56

NorksEnormous pretty please can u point us to your £2 Olaf :)

Also has anyone ordered an Anna coronation dress from Aliecpress - would love a recommendation please!!!

admiralclingus · 12/09/2014 12:03

If anyone has a Lloyd's bank account, if you go to your internet banking and activate everyday offers, they're offering 10% cash back on purchases from the entertainer until October (I think)
Not sure what the other offers are at the moment but I've had money back from Argos before and pets at home

Nanny25 · 12/09/2014 12:05

I have a 10% off next order code at Snapfish, only valid until tomorrow, forgot to post sooner! Code is ORDER814 if anyone wants to use it.

PumpkinsMummy · 12/09/2014 12:16

this fox purse arrived today after ordering last week. Am very pleased with it. Lovely quality and bigger than I imagined. Definitely worth £1. I will be buying a few more for xmas pressies next pay day.

issynoho · 12/09/2014 12:26

Fern I got Uno for £3.49 in Sainsburys 3 days ago.

o0 · 12/09/2014 12:31

I got Uno for £2.10 in Sainsburys yesterday. Grin

Thanks, MrsFox and Wildflowers, for the jar help. Will try the big - small method plus the wax discs. I have a Lakeland nearby so should be able to pick some up easily.

NorksEnormous · 12/09/2014 12:31

bargain olaf is here. It took about 3 weeks to come. Not overly big, about 20-21cm but you cant expect much for £2!!

PinkSquash · 12/09/2014 12:55

HelpMeGetOutOfHere · 12/09/2014 13:12
