Camel camel camel is a great amazon price tracking tool here

Top cash back here is a cash back site where you get a percentage of cash back from what you buy when you shop with certain retailers. Just search the shop you want to buy something from in top cash back to see if there is a cash back offer and follow the link on the site to go to the website you want. You can then choose to have the cash back directly in your bank account or have various vouchers. I've managed about £100 in a year but many seem to accrue more maybe I don't buy enough, that's a good excuse if ever I've heard one . You have to earn something like £5 in cash back before they start sending you money. If you need insurance etc they can have great cash back offers. If you follow the link above it will earn me referral credit.

Quidco here is another cash back site like top cash back but has a different offering of shops. See info above.

Scarlett - another thank you for the Pandemic post. Ordered for my Brother in law who wants it.

WhirlwindHugs · 20/08/2016 16:22

Ooh, thanks for cacassone mention. Got that for DH!

Pandemic is an excellent game. All the players work together in a team so it's good for people who aren't super competitive as well!

SideOrderofChip · 20/08/2016 16:28

2 for £26 on selected bears at build a bear uk

Bloody phone excuse double post

imsorryiasked · 20/08/2016 16:41

More board game deals on Amazon - I've just gotTicket to Ride Europe for £24 with free delivery which I think is a good saving.

Methenyouplus4 · 20/08/2016 16:42

Is anyone else struggling with Argos girls clothes? If I do a search for age 2-3 it says 9 items but if I click on them it only has age 5-6 upwards for all of them.x

torthecatlady · 20/08/2016 16:45

Pandemic is a really great board game which I am sure will become a classic.

AlwaysNeverOnTime · 20/08/2016 17:22

Barbie rock n royals stage down to £25 here

Organisednotobsessed · 20/08/2016 17:22

We've had great fun with the Bounce Off game this weekend. I thought it would be dull but the kids loved it. Would be great for a family gathering at Christmas. Amazon have it for £11 but that isn't a hugely good deal.

ScarlettDarling · 20/08/2016 17:22

Yaaay, so glad people have found my Pandemic link useful. It's a great game. I'd second Carcasonne and Ticket to ride too, both games which we regularly play.

TKRedLemonade · 20/08/2016 17:27

Huh I don't have bookmark as an option with the three little dots. I wonder why?

ValiumQueen · 20/08/2016 17:30

Just paid £13 for a real life pets turtle from Tesco. Do you think they would price match their own stores?

FireflyGirl · 20/08/2016 17:33

Me neither, TK.

I know people sometimes find unusual items at the Natural History Museum Shop, including dinosaur tails!! They have 10% off with TAILS10 (Excludes eg personalised items but supposedly work on most things))

insan1tyscartching · 20/08/2016 18:06

Saw these dinosaur costumes in B&M today. Lovely quality and at £9.99 at least half the price of where I've seen them elsewhere. Pretty sad my boys have grown up now as they would have loved them.

sepsisandAKI · 20/08/2016 18:16

Thanks for Pandemic game suggestion. Looks great. Now will it keep till Christmas....

sepsisandAKI · 20/08/2016 18:20

Anyone know the best place to buy Duplo? A good present for a 2 year old?
Loving all these great deals. Thanks to allSmileFlowers

FeelingSmurfy · 20/08/2016 18:25

We bought pandemic last year, went down very well and they (and we) liked the fact you work together as a team instead of competing.

I think it was last years thread that I head about it on, paid more than current price but it was a gift for fans of settlers of catan, and it was great to have the tip of another game they would enjoy

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 20/08/2016 18:40

Prev poster looking for toot toot sainsburys had some 25-50% off and few animals 70% off.

Also boots had some on offer

FrogTime · 20/08/2016 19:00

3rd ticket to ride! We have original, Europe and uk expansion - the whole family loves it

RoastieToastieReastie · 20/08/2016 19:08

With mention of playmobil, if anyone knows of any sets which you can use with water please let me know. Not the pool or penguin enclosure as DD has those but loves them so much and has asked for anything playmobil that can use water. I'll have long enough to price watch on camel camel camel in hope price goes down before Christmas Thanks

Methenyouplus4 · 20/08/2016 19:11

We love Ticket to Ride, Carcason (sp?), Tsuro and King of Tokyo. Was less fused on Settlers of Catan.

Amazon question- last year someone posted a link of items roughly under £2 that wored as eligible items for when you need to top up to over £20 to get free postage. Does antone have it/ know how to view products that apply? I'm £1.01 short for free postage on Pandemic!
