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

Does anyone know if Tesco's are going to have another 3 for 2offer before Christmas? Thanks

My Prezzybox code has now gone, sorry to those who missed out. Anyone on 3 can download the app and get a code, though, so might be worth asking family if nobody on here has a spare one.

Heads up Aldi has Lego sets in for 5.99 going quickly in my store few different ones Lego friends, Lego junior , star wars and my little pony were ones I saw

Oops, just found out that my brother bought DS a playmobil ghostbusters ecto 1, which I already bought him.. Bought directly from playmobil, with a discount so paid around £34
Rather then returning it, I'd be happy to sell it on if anyone is interested? As they are out of stock in lots of places..

Happy to post if postage costs are covered,or you can collect (I work/live in central London)

If interested, please PM (can send a picture of course)

(This caused me to order him the firehouse instead)

Mnhq why was my post about my friend's Etsy shop deleted?
If it's ok to post links to big shops then surely it's ok for little shops too. It's not mine and I'm not trying to self promote so I don't see the issue.

Lady they defo are I'm sure, I seen it on play pennies or hotuk deals facebook page the other day.

Thanks punk off real life shopping tomorrow then!

Any ideas where to get Where's Wally style puzzle books for children? My 4 year old discovered one in a cafe recently and enjoyed it so would like to get one for Christmas.

Off to the real shops tomorrow..looking for gingerbread houses, stuff for an italian hamper, couple of bits for teacher presents, sainsburys for recordable biscuit tins and a pound shop trip just because..

Trying not to twitch as pretty much done. Only thing I'd like is the new Monty Don book for DH but id like it cheaper than on Amazon.
Aldi had chocolate advent caledars reduced today, loads and they're really nice...

Thanks whyamibored I had eyed them up but they are so expensive I wondered what my other options were. Any other recommendations for 2 wheeled scooters for an almost 5 year old? Cheaper than a micro sprite.

youcant lidl have decent gingerbread house kits to assemble and decorate. I think 4.99 or maybe a little less. Aldi have houses ready made, you just have to decorate. Don't know how much though.

Seasalt have free delivery at mo, you can get a nice jute shopper bag for £2 or £2.50 delivered (usually £6)

This is our lidl one from last year. Decorated by a two year old with a little help from me.

@WhyAmIBoredAtHome, DS recently had concurrent ear infections. It took 3 lots of antibiotics as well as Canesten drops to sort out as it was part bacterial and part fungal. I wonder if your DD has the same issue?

Wetdog there are some Where's Wally books in the Amazon 4 for £10 offer on books

wetdog there’s a ‘where’s santa’ one on amazon. I got it in the 4 books for £10 deal.

wetdog ASDA (possibly other stores) have Where's Wookie? for £4.00.

neddle - I agree. There have been plenty of links to Etsy with no problem, including links to firends of the poster. There is no reason why your post should be deleted particularly.

You are brilliant, thank you! Will have a scout.

Big thanks to everyone who recommended the grid it's! The one for my BIL just arrived, perfect for him as he's away a lot with his job

Thanks to baby ds2 I’ve been up wrapping since 5.45am and am now done!

Just spotted on FB someone selling a spare fingerling for £25. Annoys me so much when people do this.

Not in the high street have 15% off a £50 spend till midnight Monday with the code CELEBRATESMALL

hashtagelfie I found photobox easy to use when I made a mug for father's day. Plenty of options for arrangement of photos too. I think it took about a week for delivery.

whyamibored how about a brew your own beer kit, especially sized to fit in a small flat if he's into ale? I've given this to DH and it went down well. I think someone had a firebox code upthread.

Have now finished to Reastie and all you lovely people, but thinking about other peoples shopping is just as fun

Just a reminder to check your sparks card for new offers as I have quite a few on mine, inc 5 off 25 spend on food/ flowers which I intend to use for hamper bits
