Christmas Bargain Ideas Thread 1. We have lift off!

[Reastie]

Wow, prequel is all filled up and it's not even august!

So I will start a new op at some point but since it's only July and things will be slower the links will portably be out of date by the time the next thread starts so I'll save that for later.

Welcome everyone to Christmas Bargain Central, a place to post and share ideas and offers .

@Annwithnoe what about this? (If I've totally misunderstood I'm sorry 😂)

Been lurking since this started but have begun properly today, so thought I'd pop on and say hello! Checking all the links is keeping me going through DS2's cluster feeds .

Anyway today I got the Roar and Ride lion somebody linked from Argos earlier in the thread (thank you!!) for DS2 - he'll only be five months at Christmas but needs a few bits from santa for DS1's benefit! Also popped into Clintons and got some really lovely half price notecards, £4 from £8, which is the start of my mum's Christmas. They also had other nice stationery bits and some photo frames half price or better.

Primary yielded a marauders map t-shirt for my sister (actually a man's one but lovely and drapey and soft), and also noted they had some nice rose-gold home accessories which would be prime teenage girl presents I think.

Also just ordered this cologne from the Hollister sale for DH as a little extra for his 30th next week. No idea what it's like but I'm trying to do a 30-present treasure hunt because I'm an idiot and I need a few things that are slightly better than bottles of beer or bags of sweets but fairly inexpensive! It would be a great teen stocking filler though!

Primark not primary!

Love you all! I love Christmas planning and you guys are totally my enablers...

If any of you have mamils in your lives, raphas sale is on www.rapha.cc/gb/en/sale/sale/category/Mens-sale it isn't great kit and never goes much cheaper. Although it isn't a bargain...

Also if any of you spot anything like this www.elc.co.uk/baby-dolls-and-accessories/cup-cake-lil-cutesies---mimi-doll/137356.html actually in stock. Can you share please?

Well, popped into Asda to look for BBQ Lighting Gel (which is apparently not sold anywhere in Shropshire Grrr) and found Marvel Action figures down to £5.99 from £12 odd - Bough 2 x Guardians of the Galaxy and a DC Girl wonder woman for my Geeky niece (doing her a homemade version of the Geek box as she is an 8yr old comic book fiend) Looks to be nationwide but in store

Can anyone help/advise me on an order from The Works? My basket total before any discounts is £21.50 so I get free standard delivery. I used SUMMER20 code they gave me and it said discount applied but they've given me 5p off my lowest price item it was a £1.00 if it matters and I even tried going all the way through to my PayPal but the price stayed the same minus my 5p discount. .. the fuh??
