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.

Woodwaj a Next code would also be very helpful here too please - need to order ds his winter shoes! Will pm you.

The Maisto rock crawler on amazon is now down to £9.36, RRP £25.99.

My 2 arrived and I have to say they are brilliant, go all over the garden, over stones, grass, up ramps, over big bumps etc. And at a decent speed.
Only issue is that they run on the same frequency so 1 controller runs them both! Luckily my dh is an engineer and has bought something which he reckons will allow him to change the frequency of one of them.

Maisto rock crawler

Oh and you can't choose the colours, they sent me one blue one and one yellow one.

Morning shoppers! All the £10 next codes i grabbed are gone! I just have the £20 off £50 refer a friend left now!

Thanks all who helped with the ugg slippers much appreciated :)
Also the joules code, has some new bits added.
For anyone shopping IRL I spotted some of the emoji bits in my local poundworld.
Lidl also have bargainous long pillows in at the moment £8.99 I got one for my newly pregnant sister. But also good for just using when sitting up in bed.

I entered a joules competition on Facebook this morning and there is a £10 off a £50 spend wiwfam

What age would you say the rock crawler is suitable for?

I was in WH Smith the other day and they already had some Christmas planning/decorations etc magazines in. The sort that usually come out for one or two issues in October or November. It was crazy hot outside and in the store - and as much as I love reading these threads now it made me do a double take when I saw it on the shelf!

Also - anyone needing pens and stationery etc for back to school, Sainsburys have started to reduce their prices by about a third. It does usually go lower but theres no guarantee that everything will still be in stock.

If anyone has difficult to get for tweenagers, I made my neice and ds very happy last birthdays with a huge load of stationery that I'd got for them in Sainsbury's on the sale when thibgs were knocked down to about 10-20% of their normal price. I got a couple of box wallets, filled one with a ream of paper and the other had pens, pencils, maths set, scissors, stapler, rulers, fancy colouring pens and fine liners, highlighters, a drafting pen, boxes of paper clips and split pins and similar, sellotape, double sided tape and more. Whole lot cost me about a tenner each - but was about £70 worth of stuff. Although it was a very mundane present in some ways, the volume meant there was enough to be exciting. It's not something that"s an obvious present but if its something that would appeal to someone you know, it's worth keeping an eye on the stationery aisle when you do your supermarket shop and pounce when the prices hit bargain lows!

Sorry about your kitty teablanket

I currently have £15 worth of Toys r Us vouchers to spend on a 3 year old boy, and no idea what to get.

If anybody spots any suitable bargains from there could they please let me know? It is a shop which I don't go into really as it's a bit out of the way for me.
