Thanks trisis Just bought the popcorn maker. I think it's gone up on amazon - it's £14.99 on there now including delivery. Found the same one on eBay for £12.99 including delivery - I know it's only a £2 difference but every little helps, aye.

Reastie, if you want the link to the popcorn maker for the op it's here

popcorn machine £12.00 rrp £49.00

Just have to find a coke bottle with my brother's name, some cheap comedy films (anyone have any ideas), wrap it all up in cellophane and voila - dbro sorted.

I was supposed to leave 10 mins ago but have been distracted by all these bargains Blush.

IAlreadyToldYou. it's worth checking Poundland for DVDs. I've often got some good ones from there.

TheNightIsDark · 18/09/2014 14:27

Thank you for the book people codes.

I have just got back from RL shopping and got DS a 3D superman backpack for £3 instead of £7 from primark and monster high diaries (99p) and purses (49p) from home bargains for the girls.

Trumpton · 18/09/2014 14:30

Ordered popcorn maker and 6 bottles of coke. 4 with first names on and 2 with the family name. Will add some more bits to make family hamper.

PamelaEwing · 18/09/2014 14:31

we'd best grab as many Aliexpress bargains as we can now before the site becomes more well known (especially in the run up to Christmas) and prices will then rise with the increased demand!

NorksEnormous · 18/09/2014 14:36

Thanks mama1980 that was me, off to have a look!

lucysmam · 18/09/2014 14:51

TheNight, I'll be off to check our local Home Bargains for Monster High diaries for the girls. Thanks for posting about them Smile

TheFantasticMrsFox · 18/09/2014 14:54

trisis after extensive research (we are down to three dogs now from five :o) I have concluded that it's actually better value (though not outright cheaper) to make your own stockings.
Ours always have their own stocking which reminds me that I need to make one for the Pig and have a cheap squeaky Christmas toy (the kind I never buy!) a box of biscuits (which I would be buying anyway) Jumbones (always on offer- don't buy turkey ones ) a few little rawhide strips/chews wrapped in a Christmas ribbon to poke out the top and the odd pigs ear etc to bulk it out. Last year they had new Hunter collars but the quality is so good they won't need replacing this year :o
They also have Christmas bandanas which they only wear out on Christmas Eve to the pub and Christmas Day to the pub Blush

Reastie · 18/09/2014 15:25

Spotted this idea on another mn thread and thought it was lovely. Something you could do a few letters of at home if you didn't want to buy the non bargainous option from the link.

pantshavenames · 18/09/2014 15:42

This isnt bargainatious really but I am rather smitten Smile

TheOnlyPink · 18/09/2014 16:18

This is more suited to the poncetastic thread, but just saw this bargineous Cupcake Scented Clay and had to share!

Scaredycat3000 · 18/09/2014 16:22

Mama was it my link for How to train your dragon? I'm still waiting for my set of four and they've gone down in price £14.65 down to £12.60, hey ho sold out at in the big shops and £9.99 each.
Grin I really don't think we need to worry about the MN effect on an international company big enough to float on the New York stock exchange. Not every country celebrates Christmas!

TheOnlyPink · 18/09/2014 16:23

Ugh never mind, the clay is already shaped, I thought you could mould it yourself!

PumpkinsMummy · 18/09/2014 16:23

thank you Buddy and Ainmnua. They are in my basket ready for payday!

NorksEnormous · 18/09/2014 16:24

Christmas jumpers £12 here
£3.50 delivery charge makes them not overly bargainous but they are nice, and you can earn tesco club card points on them!

Elvish · 18/09/2014 17:00

Bargain Converse from Isme ordered for DD and DFriend's DD with the lovely fknfamilies discount code so £29 for the 2 pairs!

I got these last year and they're great.

xmasplanner · 18/09/2014 17:31

So happy with Anna, Elsa and Olaf, I have just put in an order for kristoff and Norks' baby Sven too! Must stop now!

Can anyone recommend a great stunt scooter and a tall basketball net?

Chocolateteabag · 18/09/2014 17:34

Wow a week without Broadband (thanks BT!) and I've had major shopping withdrawal - don't want to know what I've missed out on!

joulesclothingoutlet on eBay has already been mentioned loads but their ladies fluffy socks are back in for £5 (3 options) - they make fab stocking fillers for teens up to granny (have got some for DSis, DM and GMIL who is 80 and loves them as bed socks)

MonoNoAware · 18/09/2014 17:57

Thank you to whoever reminded me about the Joules outlet on eBay. I've just bought 3 pairs of fluffy socks and 3 pairs of mittens for under £30.

I've missed most of the last 2 threads (hoping I'll find Reastie is not really AWOL), so now off for a browse...

MonoNoAware · 18/09/2014 17:59

Oh, I see it was chocolateteabag on the last post Blush

In my defence, I'm on my phone!

Takesalongtime · 18/09/2014 18:26

Wow you guys have all been busy! This thread is fab! Thanks to all your hard work!
Has anyone got another isme code please??

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 18/09/2014 18:27

[http://www.isme.com/toys/e/b/5132/q/frozen.end Frozen toys]
These are super cute. If you haven't already had a recommendation code for Isme and want one, pm me your name and email.

Alternatively (or also) Very are offering £30 off a £60 spend with the code 4KMY4. They stock more or less the same stuff.

Both companies offer click and collect to save postage.

Keepcalmanddrinkwine · 18/09/2014 18:28

Bad link there, sorry.

Takesalongtime · 18/09/2014 18:31

Great - thanks keep calm will have a look
