thank you for the toys r us code and the information for very. Got £30 off a £60 spend when opened an account.

@EnglishRose1320 I ordered multiples of quite a few things (3 boys and in some cases also extras for birthday presents) and all of them came with multiple colours. The only thing that didn't have everything different, was I ordered 6 warrior hexbugs and got 3 yellow, 2 blue and 1 green.

@SheStoodIntheStorm I don't know, it came up as a pop up thing when I opened TCB.

Does anyone know if there's ever any deals on current adult football shirts. DH would like one and a new coffee machine. There's plenty of deals on coffee machines but I've only just realised how expensive the shirts are. If I pay full price then I'm going to be over budget without getting any little bits for him.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 15/09/2017 09:47

Thanks fire! I'll try opening the website rather than the app.

Dithered over the little live pets mouse house at sports direct (£5 to click and collect put me off!) and now they've gone and I'm kicking myself. So back on the lookout for that too!

MrsCrimbo74 · 15/09/2017 10:23

Changingagain Sports Direct are usually reasonably priced on Football shirts.

MrsCrimbo74 · 15/09/2017 10:26

I received the Studio catalogue last night and there are some nice Advent Calendars in there;
Beauty ones, Ciate nail varnish one, Jelly Bean, Bath salts and beads, Dog one, Jewellery, etc.

Probably already been done, but a shout out to Aldi online as it's free delivery and you can get quite a few little bits. They've got some dupe lily flame candles (not sure what they're like) but previous ones I've had from there have been nice. You can filter out the items to buy online on the left if you've done a search.

BayeauxT · 15/09/2017 13:53

On the subject of elves, our local Well pharmacy is selling a decent size elf for £2.50... I've never been tempted by Elf on the Shelf but for that price I might give it a go for a few days...

MrsGB2225 · 15/09/2017 14:01

Thanks for the monopoly link tistheseason, just ordered that and risk.
I love this thread!

toriah · 15/09/2017 14:02

Hi, someone suggested christmas apps, where you can write down presents you buy. i've done that, and think it's good, but are there any "general present cupboard" apps, where you can put in EVERYTHING for the whole year? i tend to forget my bargains, so grateful for any help!

thank you

beadyboo · 15/09/2017 14:09

Wilkos have the beauty advent calendars in store. Wouldn't satisfy someone who was into their products, but for younger tweens as an alternative to chocolate and at only £5 they are fab.

jenniferl1983 · 15/09/2017 14:10

I'm thinking of opening an account with Very to get the £30 off a £60 spend but am a bit wary of having a credit account. Has anyone bought from them and paid with a debit card straightaway? I don't want the hassle of spreading payments, just want the offer!

buckeejit · 15/09/2017 14:15

Ooh toriah-I like the idea of a present cupboard app!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 15/09/2017 14:22

toriah I just use the christmas one. I have people's birthdays listed and then general gifts, food, extra christnas bits.
