Thread 17- it's all about the advent calendars

[RoastieToastieReastie]

Rubbish title I know, I panicked! And we are collecting a lovely collection of different advent calendars.

See post two for links etc

Thorntons have a Christmas bundle of chocolates for half price, £25 instead of £50
Sorry, can't do short links www.thorntons.co.uk/christmas-gifts/christmas-mega-bundle-54420.html

Wait they've got red microwaves on Amazon warehouse for £40 and there taking an extra 20% off at checkout.

I've just received my cornerstone gift box for my dad it looks great. This link will get you it for £20 or just the razor for £4.

Ryman have 24 Sharpies reduced from 19.99 to 7.99......

I just bought four of the Amazon books. Thank you for that

Be careful because they aren't automatically applying free delivery (if your order is over £10 for books and £20 for anything else). I've almost got caught out a couple of times, you have to go in and select it yourself.

Vista Debbie Macomber has a series of novels that feature knitting, otherwise I'd go on Etsy/Folksy/NOTHS and get some nice stitch markers and then to a knitting shop/ John Lewis/ Deramores for some wool

Thanks FallenSky

Chocolate oranges for 50p you say?! (Toddles off to Asda immediately)

I'm done! I have done all 'outside' people and having just wrapped the kids stuff, I am buying them nothing more!
On the lookout for presents for me now, the kids will question if Santa doesn't bring me any but it feels a bit sad buying your own, doesn't it?

I have the day off and I'm happily wrapping while the kids are at school.

I seem to have mislaid a noodle mug and a Bluetooth speaker 😕

Those who are asking whether people have both topcashback and quidco- I do. Often on has higher cash back that the other so I usually double check both. Also some retailers don't seem to be with both.

If you haven't used one in a while they will often offer you some incentive to- extra cash back or whatever. So I think it is worth it. Perhap just make sure you only sign up to basic accounts not the premium ones.

Thanks for Asda chocolate orange 50p tip. I'm at the check out with six! Tried ten but the till said limited to six. Bargain!

Ooh I click and collect my Asda shop every Friday. Wonder if I can have 6 chocolate oranges too. They won't see Xmas like.

No chocolate oranges for online shoppers, in store only. I'll send DH this afternoon.

Are sports direct heelys as good as the actual heelys? Likely to be a one hit wonder so thinking the cheaper the better!

Build a bear are doing bogof on Thursday/Friday. And he £7 bear is back

Nivea gift bag

Thanks for all the bargains. Almost done but MIL has just requested a Laura Ashley dressing gown. Anyone know of any codes/best way to get one st a bargain price please?

I've got my new Christmas name it's not too early is it?

Does anyone know of Holland and Barrett ever do sales/ discount codes or whether their loyalty points are worth collecting and spending? Mil wants something from there that's quite costly!

ASpider Holland and Barrett have currently got a black ticket event on with selected products less than half price.

Mine have the Sports direct heelies and they are great, Shufflebum. They'll probably get used quite a bit.

Vista print has reduced its photo calendars by 60% (was 50%) probably because I've already ordered mine. Classic size are now just over a fiver but they have introduced a mini size for just under £4 and you can get 16.5% cashbook via quidco for new customers. I paid for their slowest delivery, due beginning of Dec, ordered on Sunday and 4 of my calendars arrived this morning.

Definitely use quidco and topcashback as their offers vary.

Another one to remember is Kidstart, as they're the only site that has cashback for Amazon and John Lewis. It's only 1-2% but does add up if you use Amazon a lot, or are doing a pricey JL item

I can get you £20 off a £50 order at Next if anyone wants one, PM me your full name and email address and I will refer you, I also get £20 off my order.

If anyone is looking for a Mini NES I had preordered one with Amazon a few weeks ago that had a delivery date of mid December. Just got an email to say they are now getting them in end of November (early next week) so mine is coming sooner. So would appear they are getting a new shipment in soon.

Good to know RedBlu - thank you!

This is how my book people parcel arrived today! luckily the books inside were in a plastic wallet and nothing was damaged. So lucky!
