Hello!

So many people have said they miss the bargain threads that I thought I would have to start EVEN earlier this year.

So here we are!

Happy hunting

Hi ItsNice. I'm super early this year and have brought one so far. Keeping my eyes peeled for bargains though! Xmas Smile

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 18/01/2017 15:14

Ohhh boots obviously trying to confuse us bargain hunters - kitty yes prev been online with hardcore bargain hunters filling basket ready to checkout as soon as live at whatever time usually crashing the site I have usually got a few bits around 6/6.30am.

73kittycat73 · 18/01/2017 18:15

Thanks eastmidswarwicknightnanny, will keep my eyes pealed.

Mrsmadevans · 18/01/2017 18:26

was all booted and coated this morn ready to brave the boots sale brrrrr! Nevermind went to Wilkos instead and bought the most beautiful cushions half price I have had my eye on them for ages lol , hope all ok..... so far my best shop for bargains has been good old wilkos!

Was in John Lewis today and they have the fluffy toys linked to the ad (ie the dog who trampolined - plus a squirrel and a sausage dog) at bargainous prices. Think squirrel was down to £3.60 and sausage dog even less. I had to have strict words with myself about my non-need for a sausage dog in a stripy jumper!

flapjackfairy · 18/01/2017 18:59

I dutifully trotted in to save 70% but hopes were dashed!
I know why now.
Did get a couple of bits but there wasnt much left in my local large store but smaller ones often better imo

Mrsmadevans · 18/01/2017 19:37

liking the sound of that sausage dog in the stripy top Choccy how did you restrain yourself?

73kittycat73 · 18/01/2017 19:42

Yay, I have a bargain. Smile I hope this works as I haven't linked before.

www.amazon.co.uk/Stealing-Coin-Money-Piggy-Talking-x/dp/B008CO67GC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484407666&sr=8-3&keywords=cat+money+box

It's a stealing cat money box for 93p, plus 99p delivery. It's only on that cat though, don't click on the other animals (Unless you want to of course.) or you'll end up paying a lot more!

flapjackfairy · 18/01/2017 20:54

Ooh thanks 73kitty just snapped one up at that price. Some of the others are 12 quid so a real bargain !

FeelingSmurfy · 18/01/2017 21:11

People are saying it's not online this year, but I don't think anyone knows for sure. It's always been online in the past, but everything seems to be changing this year. There doesn't seem to be a lot left online anyway, and people wait all night to buy, in the past a lot of people have received emails a day or two later saying what they bought was out of stock too

I'm stuck in bed with pain at the moment so I will be missing the sale this year

margaritasbythesea · 18/01/2017 21:19

Ooo hello thread! Thanks sideorder

Mrsmadevans · 19/01/2017 07:20

Awoof · 19/01/2017 07:47

Oh hi everyone! So glad to see you too!

Kat3L · 19/01/2017 08:17

Thanks kitty, I've ordered one too, looks great.

Brollsdolls · 19/01/2017 11:14

Thank you for the money stealing cat money box link - they're down to 80p now, so I got two for the Dds and a monkey (£2.80 including postage) for ds.

Also trotted down to boots on Wednesday, only to be disappointed by lack of 70% sale!

VintageTeacup · 19/01/2017 11:51

Thank you Kitty, I also got a monkey one for DS.

SideOrderofSprouts · 19/01/2017 15:22

I've ordered a cat box but have a gut feeling that it will be like the emoji stuff last year where they take our money and we don't get

Can anybody beat my record, 2 Christmas presents given December 2016, bought July...2014 Grin they were always intended to be given to those people at that time too, not something shoved to the back of a cupboard and forgotten about

frauleinsallybowles · 19/01/2017 17:07

does that mean the boots sale tommorrow?
