Thread 5 - Jesus I sent you a pm about a pug hoodie

[Reastie]

See post two for some helpful links. Here's to a budget conscious yet amazing Christmas.

Thanks reastie for this new thread - it's all moving so fast!!

I still have a lot to buy!

After 2 good laptops too if anyone has any recommendations, dd2 would mainly use for sims etc. I've seen Very have offers for £50-£100 back on some laptops but I'm not very clued up on the specs of each one!

@chocolateteabag thank you so much, I would really appreciate that

I seem to post again and again about Wish, but the childrens applique dresses that are going for £29 in boden are about £5 on wish.

Those fingerlings are nine pounds on Amazon today in case people wanted one. Could someone tell me is that a good price for them/worth it as DD was looking at them in store. Thanks

Phew found you all thanks for the new thread

DD has one, I commented on either this thread or the end of last about it @debbiewest0 - I'd happily pay £9 for one, but no more.

@IceLemonGin there are a few playdoh deals on sports direct here

Can anyone help me out with Harry Potter lego? DD1 has just started to get interested in lego and is obsessed with Harry Potter so I'd like to get her a small Harry Potter lego set. I've looked on amazon and they all seem to be from third party sellers and very expensive. There isn't much on the usual sites - argos, toys r us, smyths etc. I take it they don't sell the sets any more. Is eBay my best option?

What exactly is Wish and why is everything so cheap?! 🤔

At £9, should I fingerling or not?

I've fingerlinged! thank you debbie for the heads up.

Someone on one of the previous threads was after a plush robot doll - if you still need one Studio have this one at £3.99

reversible wooden road & rail table with storage £44.99 (was £179.99)

Cuddly glow unicorn £6.99

Irish bargain hunters - any recommendations for cash back sites ?

Also HomeStore & More have their own version of Josephjoseph bowls for €5. Lighter and smaller than the originals but perfect for my baking mad tween niece

It was me after fingerlings - thank you! Just ordered one hope it's genuine

I've been lurking on these threads as a Christmas addict and I'm afraid I don't have any bargains to contribute.

But I sound and feel thick for asking this but-what way do the cashback sites ye all seem to use work?

I know that you have to clear your internet history and then shop through the link on the cashback site to get your cashback,but do they actually work or not? Are they reliable? Is it worth paying the monthly/ yearly fee on them so that you can get extra discounts and cashback?

As someone who loves to save money and hates having to spend too much of it (especially as I'm still in school and only have a part-time job so don't have loads of money), I'm looking into using these but I'm afraid of getting conned or having my details stolen or something

I've googled them to see if they are safe and user-friendly and they seem to be but i'm wary of using them so if anyone has good tips for using these sites successfully and has had actual good experiences with them, thanks in advance

Annwithnoe I'm Irish and have just asked about cashback sites too-great minds think alike!

Those looking for the Playmobil hospital, just a thought - DD wanted it last year but we already have some large buildings (school & hotel as well as fire station) and I couldn't face buying it as we had no where to store it. Instead, I went on the actual Playmobil website & got various of the hospital room sets (operating theatre, dentist, paeds & maternity i think) & the DC have happily used that in the hospital & school building this year as well as the stables now I think about it. It doesn't have the wow factor obviously but has been much easier to store!

Been reading through all the threads and I am feeling prepared thanks to some great bargains. Does anyone have a discount code for ELC by any chance?

Thanks for the new thread - love the name!
My dd has become obsessed with PJ Masks overnight (damn you disneylife!!). Has anyone seen any bargain toys or clothes from the show please? Thank you

I also have a code for £10 off a £50 white company spend if anyone wants it?

Baby Born Interactive Unicorn for £19.99, seems to be about £10 less than Amazon are selling it for (disclaimer, I have no idea what it does)

@GinYummy not particularly bargainous but Studio have some PJ Masks stuff

Still on the Playmobil... It doesn't show up as reduced but this Playmobil pirates boat is a third less than anywhere else I've looked:

direct.asda.com/george/toys-character/baby-toddler-toys/playmobil-floating-soldiers-patrol-boat-6681/050322641,default,pd.html

And with the pirates' hide out, pirates' cave and Blackbeard pirate all reduced on the Playmobil website this makes a nice little pirate collection for DS!

Forgot to say it's £20 and it's the Asda toy sale!

I use Topcashback and find it to be fairly reliable. Most transactions are tracked unless I use a voucher from another site, but I do that knowing I could lose out on cash back.
It's no different to going through Nectar for points tbh.
There are sometimes deals- spend a certain amount for extra cashback, a higher rate or bonus points. I don't get a fortune back but it adds up, especially if booking a holiday or doing insurance.
I don't pay- you can have a classic or premium account. premium gets a bit more cash but I downgraded after the first year to save fees.

Pumpkin strange question but how woolly are those socks? I'm a bit hit and miss with wool sometimes but they look lovely. Just not sure if I'd find them itchy.
