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.

I've managed to use £250 of double up vouchers today and still have £100. I don't shop at Sainsbury's much but use a Nectar credit card for everything so I get loads.

Got a wok, Christmas jumper and tights for DD, hats and scarves, a couple of trad games as gifts, a full set of porcelain crockery and a few extra mugs, Forza XBox game and other Christmassy stuff. Well worth doing.

Also got Rioja and Malbec - the latter is among the best I've ever tasted (celebrating a new job).

WoahBodyforrrm · 12/11/2018 21:12

^ that should say, I got all 4 of the books for £13.98

Unsurewhattodo123 · 12/11/2018 21:25

Woolovers have £10 Off all orders over £40 with code 1068

dementedma · 12/11/2018 21:26

can someon explain double up please? I have a nectar card - no idea how much is on it and I suspect not much, but what should I be doing?

NotPennysBoat · 12/11/2018 21:26

If anyone has a spare M&S code going I'd be eternally grateful if you could PM me Thanks

Wilhelminawonka · 12/11/2018 21:29

A note on the new look 25% off everything that ends at midnight tonight.
It doesn't include gift cards which was quite irritating.

PiggeryPorcombe · 12/11/2018 21:30

Register your nectar card online and you’ll see how many points you have. Go to customer services instore at Sainsbury’s and they’ll give you vouchers for double to value of points to spend in certain depts ie alcohol, toys, clothing etc.

MyNameIsNotSteven · 12/11/2018 21:33

dementedma, I think you can still get double up vouchers. Just get them in Sainsbury's, double the value of your points, then your pick from Tu, Christmas stuff, home etc (just not food). I promise I don't work for them Grin

dementedma · 12/11/2018 21:35

cool, thanks

buckeejit · 12/11/2018 21:38

@MyNameIsNotSteven - congrats on the new job! I thought £300 was the most you could exchange for.

Which Malbec did you get? There were 2 or 3 Morador Malbecs & I'm guessing the reservation expensive one is the best?

I had a list of TTD wines to get & got chatting to another couple in the wine aisle who'd also been researching & swapped recommendations! I've got a stinking cold atm so can't try any of the new wines yet to see if I should buy more!

starryeyedsnowgirl · 12/11/2018 21:38

I got my aunt a lovely Disney colouring book for Christmas. I've not done an adult colouring book before. What is best to colour it with? Just pencils or pens? If so any recommendations for brands?

Bonus points if it's under £5!

Thanks

Lovelylovelysleep · 12/11/2018 21:39

@NotPennysBoat i have one. Will pm you

rosablue · 12/11/2018 21:42

The double up nectar points offer used to be really confusing as you could only have up to £40/vouchers for each area and then you’d think you had everything balanced but discover at the till that the Santa socks you picked up in the clothes section counted as seasonal gift not clothes so your voucher didn’t work as you hadn’t used enough of it yadda yadda yadda so there were big queues at the service desks and it could be a pain to do so pleased to see it looks simpler this year...

However last year you could change and use your limit for each section every day if you wanted - no good if you wanted to buy something big like a tablet but great for buying lots of booze!

Don’t know if that will work again this year or if they will monitor total number of points exchanged...

MyNameIsNotSteven · 12/11/2018 21:42

Thank you. It says £200 but I requested more on the app. It didn't stop me and I've spent more than £200. The Malbec is the Morador. It's really lovely.

MyNameIsNotSteven · 12/11/2018 21:44

Oh sorry it's the Fairtrade one reduced to £7.50. There's probably an irony in that.

buckeejit · 12/11/2018 21:59

Ah, thanks - I did get a couple of bottles of the fair trade one but may get more tomorrow as I bought the expensive one too!

I got £100 of vouchers in one go this morning so may try for £150 tomorrow 😬

PamelaEwing · 12/11/2018 21:59

My Llama arrived today - sooo cute!

Lovelylovelysleep · 12/11/2018 22:07

Delurking again to recommend this Etsy seller of custom Lego keyrings.

KeyringKaddy. I've bought a Harry potter one for DD2 but they have loads of different ones from film, tv and music. Breaking bad, star wars, David Bowie to name a few. Free p&p and 10% off if you buy 4.

Here's the Grinch to judge you all

the day the crayons came home £2.39 on Amazon. Sequel to the day the crayons quit. I hate the book, but my kids quite like it and for £2.39 I thought I could treat them to it.

ja9r · 12/11/2018 22:23

Steamer trading cookshop has 20% off with code FEAST. Just bought a couple of chillys bottles for Xmas gifts.

(Had no luck with le creuset so far - but thanks to those who gave me suggestions... )

whatwillicallmyself · 12/11/2018 22:24

Hi this might be a daft question but if you clear you cookies before you order something on Amazon will that clear what you have in your saved for later list ?

ShesABelter · 12/11/2018 22:37

Woahbodyyform I can't seem to find the offer for two free books just the offer for the free bag humbug. Did it just come up in your basket when you added the books?

BumbleBerries · 12/11/2018 22:41

whatwill it did for me when I tested it - but maybe screenshot the list just in case?

BumbleBerries · 12/11/2018 22:43

Oops got that the wrong way round, I mean it did keep the list, I just had to sign in again

ShesABelter · 12/11/2018 22:48

ja9r Debenhams usually have discount on le creuset items when they have a sale on.
