Christmas bargain thread 13 - the one with no title

[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

MN secret santa donation and nominations now open here if you fancy using any excess bargains to send some Christmas cheer to fellow mners.

Just to let you all know, a friend of mine has been researching making her own toys. During this research she has come across information that shows that just because something from China has a CE mark on it does not necessarily mean it has been tested, they are labeling things CE to represent it is a "china export"

Had not gad!

West Brewery is definitely worth a visit. We went to a wedding there and had a ball.

Can I ask what is so special about a micro scooter? Do I need to get these for my DC?!
How are they different to other scooters?

Last takeover post.... West have a new pub on Woodlands road near Dram which is another fab pub.

Only just catching up with this thread and its already halfway...you guys are dedicated bargain hunters

BHS code no longer working although there is still 5% cashback via quidco.

ThaNks tirednow. I seem to be only able to get it to £11. Will fiddle with it later.

Here's some more on the CE marks.

I can see the two semi circles on the minecraft toys so I'm happy! Mind you the toys aren't going to babies or kids likely to eat them.

B&M has Baileys Luxe Chocolate liqueur for £8. Quite a bargain compared to last year when it was £15+ everywhere.

pamela what does the bacon jam taste like? Is it savoury ?

I Neeeeeeed to find somewhere that sells dark chocolate tunnock's teacakes as they have made up part of MIL's christmas hamper every year and I don't want to miss this year despite them becoming unavailable at co-op and Morrisons.

Mama1980 Costco has really reasonable cabbage patch dolls.
2kidsintow My local Asda (quite a bog store) always has dark choc teacakes.
HTH

Thanks, Duck. I shall check out my Asda this week. I would get them from the british food website, but the p&p is £4.40! That makes them far from bargainous.

2kidsintow I saw tunnock's d/c teacakes in my local Poundland this week so might be worth checking in yours if you have no luck at Asda.

I got individual frozen cocktails ( bought unfrozen) from home bargains for 99p. Perfect for my mum's and my stocking... Also picked up a large rattly hula hoop for dd- it was only £1.99 but will look great beside her Santa sack on Christmas morn.

Outtherelil the princess sparkle dolls have a moulded on bodice and removable skirt, so their clothes don't really come off. They are usually the cheapest Barbie size princess dolls so maybe avoid them!

Ebay currently have loads of Frozen nighties on starting at 1p no p&p, all ending in the next couple of days, I can't imagine they'll end up at more than a couple of quid each, worth a bid if you have a Frozen mad girl to buy for I think. They also have some minion hoodies starting at 1p with no p&p but I'd imagine they'll go for a bit more.

306 here is the blurb on bacon jam. DH spread it on morning toast but enjoyed it most with his beloved cheese and biscuits

A smoky, sticky relish with bacon
Is it a jam, a spread or a relish?
When it tastes this good, who cares?
Jam it on some crusty bread or cheese
Spread it on your Sarnie or Burger
Relish it in pasta, pies or stews...
Or just stick a spoon in the jar and pig out

Please could someone link to the good housekeeping offer again? Google is taking me to a blank page. Thank you.

Also-best ideas for DH stockings?! So far have badedas, fun socks, a cheese knife....

LOVE this Melissa & Doug wooden magnetic advent calendar. Fun & reusable every year! £10.40 in the Debenhams sale.

lucysmam they don't have the New York element but there are a few sets of stacking mugs in Dunelm Mill here

Use code DM23 for an extra 10% off at Debenhams and free click n' collect.

PX49 gives 20% off toys at Debenhams if you spend £25, works on top of sale prices. I like the wooden Melissa and doug advent calendar, also down to £10.40 but £8 odd if you buy other stuff to take up to £25.
