If I’ve missed anything good from any last threads onto the list please let me know.

Might've been posted already (I can't keep up!) but the Lego Ideas book is down to £2.99 at the moment.

On Amazon, it's down to £2.99 on Amazon...

Lula Sapphire has some good reductions on some really beautiful baby and toddler toys. There isn't much listed in the clearance section but in the toys bit there are quite a few things on sale. Just got my nephew a brio stacking dog for half price.

I think I have responded to all Matalan code requests. I have still got some vouchers if anyone needs one. I think you can use more than one. I have but my second order hasn't come through yet.

Let me know if any don't work, it will most likely be a typo but I am being very careful.

There's the penguin, Penbo it is, (it was Penby when I bought dd's, she's obviously been revamped as you can now get her in purple!) £19.99 from The Entertainer.

Not sure if this helps anyone, but dd1 was after rio roller skates. I've found them for £45 currently at alexandalexa.com. A tenner less than John lewis! Also has free delivery...

Did a big shop in M&S today, not really bargains but shirt for DF and handbag for DMIL for their birthdays next week. Also got some sale clothes for DD and as I spent over £100 I got a voucher for £25 off a £40 spend on clothes and home in the first week of December.

So I'm going to use it for the PJs that I really want but couldn't justify paying full price for - so kind of a bargain to come!

Can't remember who asked about dress up outfits but fireman, doctor etc for £4.99 in kiddicare sale. Says age 3+ but look quite big.

W h smiths have some really good bargains. Some Jaqueline Wilson book box sets for £5 and £7. Lots 3 for 2 offers and some beautiful half price stationary sets. They had huge boxes of sharpie pens reduced to £9.99 which would probably be popular with older dc's. They were also giving out 20% off cards to be used 24th Nov - 24th Dec

Keepcalm thanks very much for the Matalan code. Lovely Christmas fleece blankets ordered

Asda have the Tassimo pods 3 for £10

RJ did you get the snowman thorntons things you were looking for? WH Smith had loads in today.

best: imaginext, lego, brio dolls pram, baby born, pens, pencils etc, wooden trains and track, Thomas take and play sets and trains.

worst: flimsy silver cross dolls pram, craft kits, aqua beads, moon sand and dough.

wrong thread

The little mermaid DVD is £7.00 on Amazon at the moment. I've been waiting for it to drop in price. Not sure if there's a better deal out there but this seemed good to me!

Yes thanks wild I did - that was what I had gone to Asda for (2 selection boxes, £60 later here I am...)

They also had big chocolate smartie santas in Asda btw, ?ith smarties inside, for £1.

This Grandparents Journal came up in this thread last year and would make a lovely gift for a grandparent and a great way to pass on to children the history of the family. Each chapter asks questions that help to compile a family archive, with space to record ancestors, family traditions, stories and photographs.

I think it may be a few £ cheaper through Amazon too if you search for it.

Wilkinsons had half price apron, hat and cook book sets for little ones down to £3 today.

leesmum if your buying tassimo pods check Tesco's as they selling them about 2days ago from £2.93 not sure how long offer on for

Mens fitflop mules and strawberry whatsit pattern make up bag look good in tomorrow's lightening deals.

From 28th Nov to 1st Dec (i think) boots are doing black Friday deals on no7

The p&p serums will be £12 instead of £25
There is a concealer reduced and one or two other bits I've forgotten, but the main thing is a no7 online exclusive box, 14 items worth over £175 reduced to £65

Anyone got any suggestions about where to get well priced Melissa & Doug stuff. I'd like to get the saucepans and veg chopping set, and possibly the birthday cake and sushi. Can also be persuaded by other random items!

Have seen the folding stable in two different branches of TK Maxx for £49.99 if anyone is looking for it..

I'm answering my own question here but I spotted Green & Blacks mini choc packs in Asda tonight (3 for £10). These are the mini variety packs that normally cost c£5 each.

They also had Tassimo pods on an end display, think they were 3 for £10 too. It's strange what you spot that's been mentioned on here that you wouldn't ordinarily notice! The Asda dolls' house and fire stations both look a good buy for £35 but I haven't got anyone they would suit.

I saw nice Christmas tins in Lidl today - different designs and each set has 3 different sized tins - for £3.99. Looks very similar to the tins I bought in John Lewis a couple of years ago, which were much more expensive.

Are any of the Amazon deals ever repeated? Really disappointed that I missed out on the playmobil zoo. Entirely my own fault though as I dithered over whether to get it, decided I definitely did want it, by which time it had gone back up in price.

I got the tins when I was in buying cellophane. I went for the red and white ones
