Thread 4 - I want a revenge penguin

[Reastie]

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link and the and then last word and the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me k ow if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it

I popped into my local Morrisons yesterday and they are currently doing an offer on 2 for £5 of these 500g boxes of biscuits, they've got a really good BB date as well.

My M&S doesnt have any festive booze, sob. It is a small one though so think I might have to venture further afield... Really hoping they do their clementine gin again this year!

Thank you for the heads up re Lego advent calendars at JL. One of each type ordered for DSs and DH.

Quality Save/ Home Bargains had some nice things in:

RHS Bronnley hand wash, shower gel and hand lotion in Poppy for £1.99 each - nice to put in a gardener's hamper

Mr Grumpy jigsaw puzzle tin - £1.99

Rocket and Rye Bamboo travel cups - £1.99 (and look much more expensive) in really nice patterns

Zak Designs kitchenware including cake stands, stacking bowls and a range of other things - the cake stand was about £6 I think so a bargain

Also lots of bamboo cleaning and kitchenware for people who are trying to reduce plastics

My 35p snitch bracelet and necklace came today. Great stocking filler was pleasantly surprised at the quality for pence

And TK Maxx had lovely Rex London reuseable coffee cups for £3.99.

Anyone been to M&S this week? I'm wondering if the big rectangular tins of shortbread are still half price? Missed them last year, but they're great for teacher gifts!

What was the jl Lego advent tip? I can’t find it

Aldi have gin truffles at the moment which might be a nice addition to a gin-themed hamper.

Dolce I was in M&S Monday and offer was still on.

Hi, this is a bit random but does anyone know the best place to get a bargain stand for my artificial tree please? It's still ok, and the prelit lights still work but a couple of the little plastic slot on feet have broken.

filthy I'm reasonably certain I saw the clementine gin in my local store.

Trafford centre m&s had reduced liqueurs and a boxed whisky reduced from 70 to 45. My Lisa angel order came. Very happy with it for £6

Excellent, thanks @spam88

A couple of years ago I bought some bundles of Whistlefish cards, put them in nice boxes and gave them as gifts. They were very well received as the designs are so lovely.

I ordered again this year and hoping they are just as well received - Bargain Card Bundle.

They also do tins (can fit about 40 cards in I think)
Blue tin

Pink tin
Christmas tin

I got a discount for 10% my next order but it's generic so I'm sure will work for everyone - XMAS10.

Top tip - if, like me, you went overboard with buying christmas cards last year and don't need any for this, they normally do bundles of Christmas cards for the same-ish price as the floral bundle after Christmas (sometimes they also throw in a free tin I now have four christmas tins )

Not exactly Chritsmassy but just seen Habitat have 25% off until Sunday

Hi all!

I've been stalking this thread for so long and haven't contributed a thing! So here goes..

Firstly I have two seperate mothercare birthday 20% codes if anybody can make use of them? Let me know and i'll pm you.

Also I had an email from Poundshop with 10% code off Kids & Toys, I only mention this as I saw a few bits in tkmaxx this morning for £2-6 ish and have seen them on poundshop too for £1 with the 10% off. Code is KIDS10, Today only! Bit random but for the poster looking for mr.men stuff, there are arms bands and a swim ring on there.

In TKMaxx this morning (Stockport one) there was loads of playmobil stuff ranging from £5 to £20 and also in the book bit I picked up a musical christmas book thing for my DD2 but noticed a few mickey mouse christmas dvd gift set things for £3.99 which looked good!

I'll be back when I have something more useful to add! Ha

Thomas & Friends CGM19 Minis Motorised Raceway Set, Thomas the Tank Engine Minis Toy Train Set. £19.99 down from £44.99 it says.

Thomas and Friends Motorised Raceway

What’s the best price I can hope to get for playmobil advent calendars? Do they go in Argos 3 for 2?

Have found quite a few kiddies play tents from £11.99 with free delivery including this princess castle one for £14.99, this boat ball pit for £15.99 and this fire engine tent for £11.99, and they are all free delivery

Some Primark bargain electricals today.
Travel hairdryer and hair braider £3 each.

Dolce they are still on offer today.

Well this is a game changer - certain John Lewis stores will allow you to fill bespoke Quality Street tins this Christmas.

Does cost £12 though 😱

Our M&S had lots of reduced liqueurs today.
Blackforest, coffee, elderflower, bitter orange and chocolate
£6 down from £12

Cavemum my local store is doing them [santa]. I can't wait!
