Thread 18 - Remember, it's only a bargain if you need it or will use it, otherwise it's still a waste of money

[Reastie]

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Not sure if anyone has mentioned as I've not caught up yet but beauty gift sets are half price at m+s.
Think its only own brand ones but some decent stocking fillers there.

Today Clinique have 5 free samples with any purchase, I have been waiting for this one :)

White fingerlings available for preorder on amazon at the mo. Can’t remember who was asking-I did look but can’t find the post, sorry!

www.boots.com/no7 Boots have a decent free gift when you buy two no.7 products (cheapest things are nail varnishes online)

@trudee saw these mugs at asda there is another set there too.

Oh I'm after mugs too but bargainous initial ones please if any one spots some nice ones ? Also some fluffy socks to pop inside

Those snowman mugs are fab, shame they’re sold out.
Anybody know of any deals on grid-it’s please?

Placemarking. I lost you all!

Hallows Matalan have some initial mugs for £2 and £5

Oh Organised, I hate that. I always try and get presents sorted before December so I can concentrate on other things, and have plenty of time to post the ones that need posting.
Every year, one of my brothers starts asking everyone what they want on about the 23rd! This leads to new lists from the whole family going round when I've already bought and wouldn't have time to get things anyway.

Thanks prize.
Ordered a present from Clinique and got the 5 samples and free post.
Top cashback are doing 8% too

This year I've found that items I've searched for on the Amazon app then pop up on my Facebook feed if they are then reduced. I've picked up at least 3 toys this way without having to do any searching and never paid full price.
All a bit Big Brother, but who cares when there's bargains to be had eh?!

Cataline what about LEGO brickheadz in Batman and Joker or Robin? £10 each

Thanks Jenni -I'll check them out!

I know that the Magniband has been popular on this thread but has anyone seen a decent set of lens for mobile phones - apparently you get about 3 in a set. I know they vary in price loads from the cheap ones from China to the professional ones but I'm looking to spend about £20.

I don't think there was a miband deal, I think it was just a recommendation? Could be wrong!

I've got 10% off quicksilver (full price items only) if that's of any use to anyone.

New Look had some nice initial mugs, think I paid around £4 although that might have had money off due to Black Friday.

If anyone needs art/craft gifts for younger children the Melissa and Doug picture frame drawing pad (each blank page has one of a selection of frames printed around it) is at the best price I've ever seen it here.

Shipping is £2.99 so may be worthwhile grabbing a few for the prezzie box to justify that. There's an extra 10% off with the code WEDNESDAY10 if you shop today and some decent deals in the clearance section which I'm off to investigate!

Example of a couple of the frame designs pictured here.

Thanks for the Clinique tip, Prize. I just ordered a product I was about to buy anyway and the free samples will be great for Dd stocking,

Just bought a Furreal Pug from Oxfam for £1.99!! Out of box but box fresh.
So pleased.
Remember to Check out charity shops!

But of an odd one but I need a personalised high viz vest! Cheaper the better as its only for a joke present —that I will find hilarious—!

If I could get glittery writing on it then that’d make it even better!!

TIA

I've finally unearthed my Lakeland voucher, use by tomorrow.
Pm me if you want it , it's £5 off a £30 spend

My lakeland voucher is still available too but doesn't expire until 23/12

Thanks for the heads up at the weekend about Fingerlings at Argos!!
DH picked our order up this morning. As he was first in he could choose a colour! They were all reserved.
So happy!

My Little Pony set half price in Tesco, £30 from £60. One may have fallen into my trolley. Might have to get pil to buy it for Christmas as I’m technically done for dd!
