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

Boden have a up to 40% off sale started today - the code 7AGN is stacking to give another 20% off the already reduced prices. Some nice teacher presents/stocking fillers as it takes the travel mugs and boxed mugs down to £6.72 delivered

50% off almost everything at Claire’s. Just bought a few bits for stockings

Paddington Pop-Up Book half price on Harper Collins website down to £12.50. I bought it last week when it was £20 on Amazon 😭

Anyone want a £5 off when you spend £40 at Argos?

Must be used by 11.59 tonight.

PM me if you want it x

Can you link the subay offer? Can't find it but DS would love it. I did go in store to buy but they don't do gift cards.

A thought/plea/idea....

I've never really looked at the food items in B&M or Home Bargains before but whilst trying to track down the illusive Reece's Advent calendars (...no joy) this morning I saw some Kinnerton Dairy/egg/nut/free chocolate bars marked down to 10p for a large bar.

Now nobody in our family needs dairy free but i figured there are people out there who do and that got me thinking about food banks. As a result I filled a basket of things to take to our local food bank (including some of the marked down chocolate).

If you're in a position to do similar can I ask that whilst you're on your travels around shops and supermarkets that you put together some items. Lots of supermarkets have a collection point if you can't drop things off.

Thank you

Don't know if it's been mentioned but for those who have o2 priority you can get a free Lego snow globe with orders over £15 at the Lego store, while stocks last.

I won't use mine so if anyone would like it PM me for the code.

Thanks to these threads I'm almost done, a first for me!

I'd like to get my mum a new wallet/purse, something really nice. Anyone seen any bargains around? Would spend up to £60

@mycatislickingherpaw

To those asking about personalisation:

I went with Keepitpersonal. There's 15% off already for Black Friday and then VIP101 gets you another 10% off on top.

dancemom magnibands are also ok amazon, some of the colours are only £4.50 so slightly cheaper than direct from the magniband website.**

jed thank you for the info regarding Paddington pop-up book!! Might just have to go ahead and order it!!!

macnab Check out TK Maxx for purses - they usually have fantastic bargains on nice leather purses. Have seen £50-60 purses for £10-20 and £200 purses for £50. Often in nice gift sets or packing at xmas too.

Same usually goes for wallets if anyone needs one!

Has anyone seen any good deals on wooden play food? It's a joint gift from my parents to the boys - budget £20

Would second try Tkmaxx. Otherwise kate spade have a 20% off code. Their purses are lovely.

Carrotvan, Morrison’s are doing some Melissa and Doug food playsets on offer at the moment

groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/getSearchProducts.do?clearTabs=yes&isFreshSearch=true&chosenSuggestionPosition=&entry=mellisa+and+doug

Or amazon will probably have some of these discounted

Not a bargain but if anyone else has to get the Hatchimals Colleggtibles Nursery than they are back in stock for £29.99 so currently cheaper than Amazon sellers ridiculous mark ups.

Nice wallet for a 13 year old boy? Most are leather (too mature) or superhero (not his thing).

macnab Hands of Tym do beautiful handmade leatherwear. Purse £48 and card holders to go inside £14

My dn has specifically asked for an LOL Doll for Christmas and I can't find one anywhere! My local entertainer shop has the little sister dolls in but not the normal ones. All local Argos sold out! Any ideas?

Methenyouplus4 for a wallet have a look at surfy brands like Animal or Quiksilver or sporty makes like Nike

Methenyouplus4 - my 12 yr old DS has a quicksilver one. He also had a Vans one until he lost it! I bought a converse one for my nephew last year and that seemed to go down well too. Another brand to look at would be Animal maybe? Probably all available on Amazon.

Great minds and all that SpecialAgent!

orange every Asda I've been in recently has had them

woah I ordered a bunch of miniatures including baileys from www.justminiatures.co.uk for dh’s advent calendar. They came super quick so I’m impressed
