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

Welcome one and all, see post two for links.

Any referral links to go on this separate thread please

Aldi have some lovely gifts online and in store. I have just ordered some convertible books. They have a racing car, pirate ship, tractor, princess carriage and some others for £5.99 each with free delivery.

Great title made me think and cancel the electronic bat that my kids won't play with even if it is £16

I am stuck again. Can anyone help with the british gas thing. I got the code, which is now in my wallet. It says something like to redeem click here. So i click and i end up on a page with about 12 squares with different things like , hive heating, rewards, account etc. If i click rewards i have to sign back in. Can anyone help me figure out what i am doing wrong ? Please.

I've fallen off the thread lately, I need a good catch up.

So I missed the Lisa Angel sale as I didn't think I needed anything. Now I need some teachers/TA gifts. I object to having a parent DEMAND and yes I mean demand £10 per child for the teacher collection (and I have twins) at the end of summer term, she turned one mum away who handed over a fiver. We've all told her our thoughts but seems she's got skin like a rhino so I will be protesting by buying my own fabulous gifts. I need to come up with the good for 3 of them for £10 each, preferably something lovely that looks like more naturally!!

In other news, is anyone still waiting for their Woolovers order??

I ordered a glitter pengula hatchimal today from Amazon Italy was about £31 I think. Seems to be a good price?

RJ That Barry M Black Friday goodie bag is still available for £15, would be good for that age I think?

Reastie my pleasure it was fun

sweet glad it's helped, I think it's too easy to see a great deal and buy it because you are saving so much money, but actually if it's not going to be used you can save even more money by not buying it in the first placr

Thank you Spam and RubySlippers for the canvass websites, Snapfish won my custom with 70% off a 16”x12” slim canvass making it £14.99 including delivery, bargain!

Checking in

Placemarking here. I shouldn't really be stalking these threads. I'm Buying waaaayy too much, but my Xmas nearly sorted,

RJnomore I linked this clutch bag on the last thread, it's £30 and filled with beauty items...I'm completely lusting after it
www.pinkparcel.co.uk/subscription/shop/pink-parcel-christmas-clutch-bag.html

It says 50%off with code cybermonday on the way lala website but on a thirty pound basket it only took a fiver off? Anyone get it to work better than me please?

kraggle glad you got sorted. I need to order my calendars off snapfish tonight as there’s 70% off them, ending at midnight!

Also just had a £5 argos voucher through, no minimum spend. So ordered set of 3 baskets for only £5.50 to use for hampers. Very close to being done apart from the things I need to go to RL shops for

RJnomore nip+fab have a 50% off code on there homepage ends tonight I think they've got some nice make up and you'd get quite a bit for your money.

werewolfhowls it took less than half off mine too, I think because some items I bought were already on sale and it hasn't taken it off those?

Mine was (rounded numbers off) £27 plus £3 postage - minutes £10 = £20 whereas 50% off would have been minus £13.50, so I'm guessing I had £7 worth of sale stuff.

Yeah the lalaland discount is only off full price items.

Hi all, thread 18!
Has anybody ordered from the Book People recently? I've just put an order through with them (25% off a £40 spend), free standard delivery and was wondering two things if anyone can help please - 1) when is it likely to arrive? (I'm hoping not Saturday) and 2) what courier do they use?

Also got some good bargains in the Gap 50% off free delivery cyber Monday offer. I know Gap use Hermes. Anyway, hope everyone is ok,
Thanks!

Spelling- google Home isn’t better at google searches, yes, but that’s about it.

Alexa controls our lighting, hive heating (google can’t), tells us the weather, plays music through amazon unlimited/music etc, set timers, order stuff, create shopping lists, give us news updates, listen to radio, control tv with fire stick, give us recipe ideas for cocktails (you can download skills using the app etc.

It seems a lot more intuitive than google Home.

Sorry, is better at google searches!

bunbunny thanks for the link to whistlefish, you’ve just saved me from my least favourite Christmas job, trawling round the card shops for “family” cards

Google was better in the US. It is learning more things but I don’t think it’s there yet.

I would think that your suggestion of echo for downstairs and dot for DD is a good one.

Thanks for the ideas. What do you think of this?
