Afternoon!

In the absence of @SideOrderofChips (I hope you don't mind me jumping in, Chips Flowers ), here's the first bargain prequel thread of this year.

Use this thread to post any bargains you may have until @Reastie comes back in a few months' time! Xmas Grin

Hype have got another lucky dip sale on and if you use code HYPE50 it takes it down to £20ish for 5 items

choccybiscuit · 06/07/2019 07:41

I can't get the code to work for justhype 😞

There backpacks are really good quality btw, I just bought one for my dd and she loves it

PinkDaydreams · 06/07/2019 08:06

Next website going super slow due to sale I presume. It started earlier than scheduled by the looks of it

TheHammaconda · 06/07/2019 09:35

I have a single use code for £5 off a £30 shop at Smiggle if anyone wants it please send a PM. Valid until Monday 8 July

NoWordForFluffy · 06/07/2019 10:52

My C&E box has arrived. I wish I'd bought more tea sets now as for £4 it's an utter bargain! It was going to be my mum's birthday present (January!), but we think we're going to give it to DD's teacher instead as she's allergic to a lot of foods and doesn't drink. But does drink tea!

Anyone who thinks their kid will be into toy story this year, there is talking forky, buzz and bo peep for £13.99 each on amazon. May be worth investing in if toy story is going to be biggest thing this year

sideorderofchips · 06/07/2019 21:34

£10 off a £30 spend at build a bear with code july30. Also works on sale

hoopdeloop · 07/07/2019 10:44

Operation board game is £6 on Amazon

villamariavintrapp · 07/07/2019 17:26

Groupon have £10 Argos voucher for £5. It's by invitation only/only some accounts, but worth checking?

Theimpossiblegirl · 07/07/2019 21:05

Aldi are doing Toy Story Mr Potatoheads for £8.99 next week.

MrsCrimbo74 · 08/07/2019 10:17

Character sale on, things like lego star wars t-shirts for £1.95 and batman pyjamas for £5.95 instead of £12.00

AlbusPercival · 08/07/2019 10:29

Was just coming on to share the character .com sale, got brilliant stuff for DS

RuggerHug · 08/07/2019 10:36

Just came to say I got some great bits cheap on character.com Did we all get the same sale email this morning?🤣

Nidy · 08/07/2019 10:55

Thanks @hoopdeloop , I bought a few for present cupboard!!

AdamBarlowsQuiff · 08/07/2019 11:17

Oh haha you all beat me to it! I got the email from character.com and have got loads of great stuff for £1-3. Gutted didn't have the right size doctor who PJ's but lots of mlp and star wars etc. Quality is usually really good.

PinkDaydreams · 08/07/2019 11:24

Everything selling fast on the character site. Had a basket of 12 items and the majority is now sold out before I checked out so I’ve put the rest back

PinkDaydreams · 08/07/2019 11:25

@AdamBarlowsQuiff you’ve said the quality is usually really good, unfortunately I’ve had a few pairs of pjs from there that were awful! Really thin and bad print quality, I paid full price and defo weren’t worth it

AlbusPercival · 08/07/2019 14:46

That’s a shame @PinkDaydreams

I’ve had lots from there and quality has seemed to be on par with supermarkets and cheaper end of high street.

Definitely not equivalent of Boden or frugi, but good enough.

Ewock · 08/07/2019 14:52

Hi this is probably a silly question but I'm just catching up pn the amazing bargains and wondered if someone can tell me how you get the discounted playmobile? The damaged boxes?
Thanks

OrangeCinnamon · 08/07/2019 21:11

I only seem to post obscure bargains on here...anyhow English Ballet Co Nutcracker Tickets available at Coliseum London..cheap seats £14 and worth every penny . The seating is quite steep so view is decent and sound travels beautifully. It is a great performance can highly recommend

imsorryiasked · 08/07/2019 21:37

@Ewock - just sign up to their newsletter and they send an email once or twice a year listing all the damaged boxes.

Ewock · 09/07/2019 11:06

Thanks imsorryiasked. I'm on my phone and afraid I don't know how to tag people.
Thanks for pp for the Rex of London sale. I purchased quite a lot in their sale before christmas and can confirm their items are lovely quality. So I will be purchasing a few more bits for this year.
These threads helped me so much last year and after a rocky start to this year with my dh being made redundant any savings will be greatly appreciated.

AdamBarlowsQuiff · 09/07/2019 16:05

Oh no @pinkdaydreams that's a pain. I've only had one ropey pair which unfortunately were for a gift, they were a football set and were v thin and cheap looking. I've had some brilliant Disney etc ones though which were nice thick cotton. Fingers crossed for my next order then!

sideorderofchips · 09/07/2019 17:14

#ewok

That was me :) I bought loads after Christmas and have been using it as gifts during the year

sideorderofchips · 09/07/2019 17:15
