Thread 12 - where we hope Black Friday doesn't turn out to just be slightly grey

[FireflyGirl]

@Reastie is obviously busy getting her sprouts on, so I've set up a new thread just to keep us moving.

Previous thread here with Reastie's usual helpful posts.

Remember everyone, it's only a bargain if you need it and check it hasn't been cheaper before/isn't cheaper somewhere else! Happy Thanksgiving

Does anyone have an AO code going?

Does anyone know when the big Soap & Glory set will be reduced in Boots? I bought that half price last year & used everything in it (well, apart from the body milk but that was donated to the children's school fayre) so it was great value and I'd like it again.

Thank you for the toblerone tips. I pass a Morrisons on my way to and from work every day so I'll try there.

@whenwillthetwitchstrike Martin Lewis was talking about the soap and glory set. He said he thinks it's this Friday I think?

my elemis order has arrived and I'm delighted with it (never shopped from them before). Thanks to the PP who put us all onto it!

It includes a one off code for £20 off an £80 spend (can't use on christmas range, sale stuff or travel sizes). PM me if it's any use to you.

@chillimice that little sewing machine has good reviews for a basic and you can’t go wrong with John Lewis if it’s not up to standard. I bought myself this one from John Lewis as a sewing novice. It’s a lovely colour but a proper machine rather than small. Very good price for the quality www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-jl110-sewing-machine/p3723125

Museum selection £5 code (MX18P) for anyone buying stuff from them anyway. It's good for hard to buy for parents/ Christmas deccs etc, I got a lovely advent tree. Can't be used in conjunction with other deals but if you're getting something alongside their black Friday offers may be worth it.

@RemyRelax, did you manage to use it? I just went to place another order, and it wouldn't work for me! A pop up on my Facebook this morning said they had 25% off, but I can't find it now.

@easmidlands, could you help at all? You seem to love a bit of Lanka Kade!

My Xbox one S arrived from Amazon Germany yesterday - I was very happy when I researched what power cable I'd need to replace the European one with (thought I'd need a power bank one to adapt the power) and found as the Xbox is multi voltage I can just use a regular figure 8 cable (of which I have spares).
So £166 for the Xbox and two controllers and delivered in a few days.

@RemyRelax BF25 takes 25% off!

@makingmiracles i got my German Xbox too, it will be easy to replace the lead (i’ll do it before I give it to him) and nothing else about the box looks any different to me. There were just as good uk deals but I wasn’t to know that, and at least it’s here!

Bugger all to do with bargins but I just had the McDonald’s Camembert bites and they are aaaaaamaaaaaazing. Sort of bargainous at £1.09! Feeling nicely fuelled for an afternoon of schleping around the shops picking up internet bargins I’ve ordered!

I spent a whole £1 yesterday! On the first-look-fantastic beauty box for £1 thingy. Was going to sign dd up for a subscription anyway so...

Black Friday used to be AMAZING. Dd is now 15 but when she was about 3 or 4 I literally would buy everything that day. Now I think retailers use it to get rid of stuff only.

IME mega deals now happen around 10th December. Time to ship stuff out, not too last minute.

Hope so anyway, as am woefully behind!

For anyone shopping IRL in The Works (our local branch has some nice Yorkshire themed gifts, mugs, colouring books etc which aren't available online, so I had to shop in store!) the little leaflets/catalogues by the till have a voucher on the back for 15% off a £10+ spend.

Thank you to the poster who commented on having successfully ordered a t-shirt from monthly tee club. I figured it was my card, and got dH to order himself with his card. Unfortunately have to wait for a new card and then learn a whole new card number and details.

Picked up phallic llama from peacocks...not discreet packaging . Looks like I’ve gone all out in Ann summers!

Monsoon have 25% off Black Friday Deal but code NOVCS20 for another 20% off stacks! Just bought gorgeous party dress for DGD at silly price.
Hope this helps someone looking for Christmas outfits.

Thanks baubles and scrappy amazon.com is still really expensive, I’ll try and get taken out shopping next week and keep an eye out.

I’ve been happy with Black Friday Bahrain’s for clothes & make up, but disappointed in toys and electricals. I’m hoping I can grab a PS4 on cyber Monday? Who knows, pp is correct there’s so many deals going on it’s confusing whether to hold out or not.

Does anyone think the attached pic would be a good gift for my dog walkers? I don’t know if it’s cringy to get something dog related or not

If anyone is looking for a smart plug to go with the bargain alexas, Argos have one for £29.99 but you add 3 to your basket for £36.99, they’ll be individually boxed so I think will be fab to gift with the echos/dots and cheapest I’ve found so far (see pic 2)

Bargains, not Bahrain’s - my phone actually hates me

Thanks for the monsoon tip. Just bought a lovely legging and tunic combo for dd7 (sequin unicorn of course) that was too much money at original price but with the double discount affordable now. Thanks so much!! She and I are both thrilled!

To the poster doing a Stranger Things Advent calendar, I saw this in my local B and M

Ooh hoopdeloop that was me, thank you!!

@1stTimeMama thank you again, I’m going to try and place an order now

Honeydragon Thanks for the Glossybox/Karl Lagerfeld tip! Ordered for DD.

Now I just need an advent for DH, anybody found any good ones?

Was someobe looking for HP Ravenclaw stuff? luminart at Mankind. Who have all sorts of random things at good reductions.
