Just a warning, I ordered lots from the body shop last week, and was so pleased until only 1 item arrived. Everything else was out of stock Haloween Sad

*Madboys" thanks for the half-price Fire HD 7 @Tesco tip.

I appear to have just bought one for me as my Xmas present from DP!

ReluctantCamper · 28/10/2015 20:35

Bah! Just picked up my Scooby doo Lego order from very. They've sent the Scooby doo Lego mystery machine, which retails around £42 instead, and put on the despatch note that it costs £62 (price of the haunted Manson that I actually ordered). Bloody crooks.

woodythecar · 28/10/2015 20:35

Jolly Christmas postman book down to £4.49, I can remember my sister getting this when we were little!

reluctant that's terrible. Surely they can't get away with that? The mystery machine is only a £30 set.

Smyths have half price toy sale on. Not that much in it, but I was after 'Read with Me Violet' in particular and that was £14.99 instead of £29.99 so happy with that.

Disney Frozen Fever Birthday Party Anna Doll, down to £9.99 from £15.99

I had a nightmare with body shop last year lovlies so I won't order from them again. Ordered end of October, waited weeks and weeks for my order, finally arrived but it wasn't my order, was someone else's and completely different to what I'd ordered. I emailed them to let them know and when they finally replied it was to ask me to send the item back to them! Bloody cheek! They paid postage but I had to go out of my way to the post office. As for my own order? It arrived after Christmas! And as they were Christmas gift sets there wasn't much I could go with them what with Christmas being well and truly over! Really poor customer service from them I thought.

sch4971 · 28/10/2015 20:50

Great deals so far, thanks everybody!

Just realised you can order up to 5 boxes on Hotel Chocolat for £6.95 until 3rd November, tempted to up the two I've got on the way so far but don't want to be too greedy...

loveliesbleeding1 · 28/10/2015 20:51

TimonI'm not the only one then, how disappointing to not get anything in time for christmas .Only getting one thing was bad enough, I will avoid them in the future.

woodythecar · 28/10/2015 20:55

Spiderman 12-inch Titan Series Figure, reduced from £14.99 to just £6.99. Great price on this figure considering it is a foot tall!

Hello! Reastie thanks once again for the threads, I can't believe yet another year has rolled by and here we all are again, tis lovely to see some familiar faces. Flowers

I'm usually on board right from the very start, but the vast majority of my Christmas shopping is finished, thanks to a huge sales spree last Christmas Grin

DH has just picked up a 70cl bottle of Jack Daniels, down to £15 in Morrisons if anyone is stocking up on spirits. I just need to get 2 x Hudl 2's for DS and DD and a few stocking fillers and I'm done for the tribe.

DH is getting the iPad pro from me this year, has anyone heard yet when the release date is?

PjDay · 28/10/2015 21:00

Woodwaj the scarf looks lovely. I feel hard done by, I ordered first and still no delivery Xmas Wink.

FeelingSmurfy · 28/10/2015 21:02

Glisten Tesco aren't doing the hudls anymore, announced few days ago. Some stores still have stock but need to get it asap

FrecklyEthel · 28/10/2015 21:05

Hey Reastie thanks for replying, but (wails) no that link also doesn't work for open boxes, bloody laptop... there's probably one I could buy in an open box if only I could see them.

spub · 28/10/2015 21:06

Pob
Thanks for the heads up re The Force Awakens will look now.
Not a bargain per se but got DS a 3 pack of Star Wars jersey briefs for his xmas stocking for £12.
The minion ones were also very cute but I think it's going to be a Star Wars xmas - despite the effing film only coming out on December 17th.....

AllThatGlistensIs · 28/10/2015 21:07

Oh ffs really?! Shit! Huge thanks for the heads up Smurfy, will check around for stock.

PontyGirl · 28/10/2015 21:08

I feel lucky reading some of these body shop experiences - I have ordered loads in three separate transactions over the last week, and they have all arrived. I ordered a lot of the mojito body butter and scrub and lipbalms etc

ReluctantCamper · 28/10/2015 21:10

Im really cross lazzaroo . Have sent a complaint. Looks like I may have to use my clubcard vouchers to get DS's Scooby doo mansion at a price I'm prepared to pay.

LikeSilver · 28/10/2015 21:13

I'm hunting for bargain Disney Princess Magiclip things. Is Smyths the best price at £19.99?

zipzap · 28/10/2015 21:13

As Tassimo pods have been mentioned - I was in Costco today and they'd got some of them reduced. The Costa Cappuccino (DH's favourites) were £13.99 for a box of 5 packs. I had to buy a pack in Sainsburys yesterday at normal price as we'd run out and I hadn't had a chance to get to Costco and they were £4.59 for a single pack - so paying £2.80/pack adds up to a big difference if you drink lots of it like dh.

It's pretty much the cheapest I've ever seen them anywhere.

bettythebuilder · 28/10/2015 21:36

There is a 15% discount at www.bijouled.co.uk (jewellery, scarves, soaps, accessories gifts etc) with code HAPPY, this code is valid until mid-day Friday.

Postage is £3.50 but it is a real shop so if you're local to North Yorkshire (sorry Scottish folk Grin) you can click and collect for nowt.

PamelaEwing · 28/10/2015 21:36

Someone recently was after a Frozen girls footless onesie? I saw this one at Matalan for £10 which could be cheaper if combined with some of the offer codes floating around.

MissRainbowBrite · 28/10/2015 21:43

Likesilver the best Magiclip doll set is in Costco, 10 dolls inc Elsa and Anna for £18.
