Moosey, can you remember how much the cellophane was please?

I just got 3 packs of Gruffalo rhyming cards for £2 each in Sainsburys... reduced from £7.99 apparently.

I also got a large grey metal basket with handle from £15 to £2.50!!! I seem to have lost my wicker hamper when we moved house so this will be used for the Christmas eve hamper.

There are some great deals for magazine subscriptions via magazine.co.uk at the moment - I often buy my parents a new subscription from the children and it lasts all year. At the moment they are giving away free chocs too - extra little gift.

I'm not Moosey Grin but the cellophane is 99p a roll. Clear is 10m, patterned is 5m.

DD wants a Robosapien X. They aren't on offer anywhere. All my money saving and now I can't face paying full price on a £90 YES £90 fecking toy.

Grrr. I do have a £5 Argos Toy Exchange voucher but I expect HALF PRICE on everything now!

EllieWid74 · 13/11/2014 16:46

That is alot of money! I guess Argos see it as prime time to sell toys!

Waitingonasunnyday · 13/11/2014 16:50

I know.... its the only expensive thing shes really ever asked for compared to gadget loving DS, so I don't mind getting it, if it is actually any good. Just need to find a better deal really.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 13/11/2014 16:51

Howabout - no worries best price it's been have considered it before.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 13/11/2014 16:53

Sainsbury have choc orange for £1 I brought one to taste test and I ate the whole thing - what choc orange I didn't buy one :)

marne2 · 13/11/2014 17:05

I have a very code if anyone wants it, £15 off a £25 spend on your first order. I don't need it as I have almost finished and I already have one account with them.

NorksEnormous · 13/11/2014 17:14

Smyths have 20% off certain toys including all imaginext, seems to be today only

frankie80 · 13/11/2014 17:26

been away for a few days, these threads move fast!

Looking for a cheap bosch tassimo t40 coffee maker. The cheapest I can find is at £59, if anyone has any codes for john lewis, argos or whatever it would be MUCH appreciated so I can get this bought.

cheeseyfeet · 13/11/2014 17:31

Only thing left is a Vtech Kidipet friends Dog for DD1.
If anyone sees any on offer/reduced anywhere can you holla at me please. Not objecting to full price (£21) but I managed to get DD2 cat one for £17.

Alternatively any codes for Symths, toys r us etc would be fab too. Thanks

Now its onto boring Adult presents. Why are they so hard to buy for :(

MooseyMoo · 13/11/2014 17:37

Dandelions beat me to it!

MsAspreyDiamonds · 13/11/2014 17:42

frankie80 have a look at Hotukdeals for the best price for a Tassimo.

dontstopmenow · 13/11/2014 17:45

Don't suppose there are any Elc codes around? I missed the £18 Playmobil pool on Amazon so I was thinking to get 20% off in Elc would be better than nothing!

kiwidreamer · 13/11/2014 17:47

Thanks to whoever it was several pages back chatting about whiskey stones and corkicles - perfect gifts for my in laws in the Southern Hemisphere, will sort the photo canvas and a dzn wines and jobs a good un

Have just received an email from mumsnet which includes a link to their 'starting to think about christmas - here are some stocking filler ideas' on -
www.mumsnet.com/christmas/stocking-fillers-for-kids

They obviously haven't been reading this thread as:
a) we've been thinking about christmas for a long time already
b) they all seem expensive or at least not bargain-ous (is that a real word? you know what i mean!)
c) there's nothing from ebay, amazon or aliexpress, no fingerlights, none of the things that are to be regularly found on these threads Grin

I guess it means all the more bargains for us!

DaisyFlowerChain · 13/11/2014 18:03

Had to google the vidia doll people are looking for as don't have to buy for small girls but I have seen that one in the local argos on display I'm sure. They were in the 2 items for £15 section I browsed whilst queing. Will try and pop in again at some point to see if still there.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 13/11/2014 18:04

Husband collected my parcels today one being the olaf teddy from China n it was advertised as 10"/25cm and is barely 8cm tall - I mean there is exaggerating and being a tad optimistic!! Have messaged seller.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 13/11/2014 18:05

Sainsbury had a tassimi in store today £50 on offer on an end with the pods n whatever offer they were on

ihatethecold · 13/11/2014 18:06

Anyone know how I can get a tesco hudl cheaper ?
I don't have club card points Sad

WannaSplitAPineapple · 13/11/2014 18:25

Just a word of warning on the next £20 code, it's spend £50 or more then you get sent a voucher for £20 not £20 off the first order. I can also do that if anyone else wants it.

I got a few more of the £10 off codes last night but DS has been using them as his train tickets and I don't know where he's put them! I'll try and find them and let you know if I do.

Prizepudding · 13/11/2014 18:25

Ihatethecold, there is a voucher for £10 off £50 spend at Tesco but is for new customers only.
