Superdrug seemed to have a few gifts in our local store including a £50 zoella gift box that looked loved. Not online yet however all zoella bits are 3 for 2 online

Ginger and Melina. I'm afraid Amazon put the junior Lego ice cream truck back up again this morning . 🙁 But I've been watching it for a while and on the camelcamel thing and it seems about once a week it drops for a day to 13.99. Normally it's 17.99 and lowest has been 13.99 which I managed to grab to save a few pounds.
I'll keep an eye too for you but I put it in my basket and then everyday just looked till it went back down

Is the Tesco offer for the vetch Walker in store only? Or is it just they are sold out? I'm desperate for one at the moment for lg who is 9 months and on her feet constantly

I hate Geek Box. They are a nightmare to order from and even worse to try and cancel the subscription with! Be warned. (Nothing more Christmassy than a stern warning 🎄)

Good find though but still hate them.

Jfw82 · 17/08/2017 22:17

Buzzbeebee I just ordered the walker from Tesco direct for click and collect but could have had it delivered

GeillisTheWitch · 17/08/2017 22:34

Oh no, I've just ordered the deal from them for DH, it didn't say anything about a subscription though, hope I haven't accidentally signed up for one.

KavvLar · 17/08/2017 22:35

firefly I have ordered from Bargain Crazy and been really pleased with what I've received. Happy to recommend them.

FireflyGirl · 17/08/2017 22:38

Checked my account and it's showing as no subscription so hopefully not.

FireflyGirl · 17/08/2017 23:04

I seem to remember saltrock being popular for teens last year. They've got a sale on with tshirts (womens/kids) from £2, hoodies from £5 but mostly £10+.

Delivery is £3.95 or free over £30.

Geillis you're probably fine. A load of us signed up for a cheap box offer either last Christmas or the year before and didn't realise it was an ongoing subscription. Cue a kerfuffal trying to cancel it and boxes not arriving.

That's probably a stand alone order so it might be different but always good to check.

woodwaj · 17/08/2017 23:20

Yep geekbox were shite! We are currently trialling lootcrate and their service seems fine. I can get a referral code for $5 off but there always seems to be offers on.

VinoTime · 18/08/2017 01:01

Molten thank you so much for the converse tip! Grabbed DD a pair of high tops for £17.49 down from £70! Shock

TryingtobePrepared · 18/08/2017 06:48

Mountain warehouse have upto 60% of camping / outdoor stuff. I always find it useful for hard to buy for men. Haven't had a really good look but some outdoor games & some waterproofs / coats at 60% off

Reastie · 18/08/2017 06:58

I'm now wondering whether to go to Sainsbury's to check out what my local has.

Oh, thank you to whoever suggested Poundland for Christmas wax melts, got some last week.

Betsy86 · 18/08/2017 07:00

Sainsburys wine/champagne is buy 6 or more bottles and save 25% from today.x

SideOrderofSprouts · 18/08/2017 08:41

We get geekbox as a subscription and quite like it

christmasunicorn · 18/08/2017 08:45

Not a bargain but had to share pawsecco - the wine for cats and dogs Grin they also do "bottom sniffer" beer for dogs. £2.99 a bottle. I will be getting some to put in ddogs food and drink hamper spoilt pooch

DumbledoresArmy · 18/08/2017 09:40

Just spotted this bargain Christmas jumper in 9-12 months if it's any good to anyone.

HouseworkIsASin10 · 18/08/2017 12:32

@Strawberryfield12 Thanks for the Boux Avenue tip, managed to get a few nice bits for DD Smile

Another thing, they do Free Gift Wrapping but not for just sale items. When you try to select it, says you must buy at least one full price item.

So I popped a £2 lip balm in my basket and it worked. Well it let me select the option so fingers crossed they will come in a lovely box with petals!

LostMyRubySlippers · 18/08/2017 12:41

Thanks to whoever mentioned tinc on previous thread. Just ordered a big pile of sale stuff for about £12- think I had over 30 items in my basket!
They have rubbers in each letter of the alphabet reduced to 30p per letter, would make a good stocking filler

LostMyRubySlippers · 18/08/2017 12:43

And if you select 2nd class on delivery it's only £2.25. Hate paying p&p but that I can live with! Grin

Strawberryfield12 · 18/08/2017 13:20

Housework you are welcome, very clever re:wrapping! It's nice, but haven't had a chance to apply it since apart from first order I always shop on sale with them.

WELCOMEBACK15 should take 15% off Origins order.
