Thread 6 - the one with Terry’s chocolate organs

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

@WhyamIBoredathome at half price I was pleased with the box. It does seem pricey at full price , but I may get it from time to time when we are stuck in a food rut again. Given it included everything- even the rice etc I thought it wasn't bad. I have chosen things I wouldn't normally make and feel quite inspired.

The only downside (I got the four meal four person box) is I chose meat/ fish for each one which I wouldn't normally do as I felt it gave much better value. At around £6/7 a meal with meat for four of us (and there is loads so will do lunches next day as our kids are wee) I think it is worth it.

mrscrimbo that groupon for Starbucks is by invitation only. Shame.
whylam I've had gousto boxes before. Enjoyed the meals but I did think it was very expensive, if you payed full price. I got it on a groupon funnily enough why didn't they send me a Starbucks invitation?

I can't get the Starbucks on groupon either.. someone posted it on the last thread I think too. Thought I'd try my luck again today but still not working for me..

Just received an email from toysrus for £10 off a £50 spend if you're a loyalty card holder

Tesco had some great deals on stationary for girls pen sets reduced from £4 to 50p etc. Lots you could split up for stockings etc.

I'm after about 30 small drawing pads/colouring books (for 5 year olds) if anyone spots any.

Methenyou funnily enough I bought 20 small notebooks from Sainsbury's today reduced from I think £2 to 60p each in the sale. Going to use them for party bag bits for dd to go with the tinc stuff I bought. They also had nice metallic colouring pencils down from £2 to 60p and a few other bits.

Been lurking on the thread and already spent too much!
I used someone's pact code - thanks but I can't remember who - and here's mine www.pactcoffee.com/sign-up?voucher=AMY-0149BA

meth ikes do small notebooks as does tiger

Thanks for the Lego tips - off to look!!!

Methenyou - Baker Ross are pretty good for packs of notebooks.* I picked up gingerbread ones for my class there.*

Tesco have the shopkins Lego shopville thing at £35 apparently reduced from £70. I can't find it in any other shop full price. Is it a bargain?

Any tips for the Argos 3 for 2?
Ds2's birthday is on 5th Oct and I'm not sure whether to play chicken and try and get his present in the 3 for 2 or just order it now! Do prices tend to go up or stay the same? Will I be lucky to get what I want?!

Irish Smyths are starting their offer tomorrow, 10 off 50 and 20 off 100.

Haudyerwheesht you can order parts for Lego under their replacement bricks part of their shop online. I’ve ordered capes that have been torn for some of ds’ Minifigures before. They’re free and came really quickly. You’ll need a set number though but you do a quick search around their site to find a set with similar parts.

*you can do

@sweetpeapods I tend to do a reservation for click and collect the day befor the 3 for 2. Then if the prices change and it's not worth it you don't have to pick up

Any ideas for a 6yr old boy, he likes football but has most football things you could think of, likes wrestling and outdoor activities

As I'm a techno virgin (ish) can a dot work perfectly well without Alexa or donyou really need both? Wondering about dots for my 3 dc 17,15,14 and the amazon £25 off if I buy 3 is pretty tempting!

@matilda2013 thanks I'll set a reminder on phone

@TellMeItsNotTrue what about this outdoor adventure microscope from IWOOT? They've had it on their 3 for £18 a couple of times recently - currently 3 for £20

tellmelt what about the football training equipment in aldi? Training ladder £5.99 and cone hurdles £5.99.

Banoffee interesting, not something I would have thought of but I think it would be a hit (also just realised I should have put a price limit, but this is under it anyway!) thankyou!

Haudyer sounds good, I will head out tomorrow Thats my hardest to sort and look like he is done for Christmas and birthday now! Thankyou
