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

Still not exactly cheap but there are some bargains on the Aspinal of London outlet site. Maybe if anyone's looking to buy a big present? A couple of examples at the cheaper end:

Small essential cosmetic case reduced from £80 to £40

Mini zipped coin purse reduced from £125 to £63

Passport cover reduced from £75 to £38

@PinkDaydreams, the advent calendar arrived! Its brand new, perfect condition and I only ordered it on Thursday.

I'm made up with my bargain, haven't seen it anywhere cheaper. My toddler is going to love it. Smile

Has anyone seen any sand and water tables in the sale please? Just seen the fisher price one on the aldi special buys but doesn’t seem much of a bargain as asda sell the exact same one, unbranded, for the same price.

I was going to get the sand and water table, I didn't realise it was the same price in Asda! I just did a bit of googling and Smyths toys do one for £19.99 - sorry not savvy enough to know how to put a link yet🙄

Thanks for the Smyths recommendation.
I’m also after foldable garden table and chairs with a parasol, adult sized. Again, has anyone seen any bargains? I looked at the end of season last year but seemed to miss out on everything.

My local WHSmiths has MacDonalds Happy Readers books in clearance at 3 for £1. Some reading / some activity books. Good for stocking fillers / party bags?

Hi all! Just back from town and Clintons have got disney merch at 70% off. I got a lovely winnie the pooh mug with nice tin £3.60 tsum tsums for 99p, a toddler cup with straw for £1.50 and a nice little canvas poster with a disney quote for £2.60. I was horrified to be told that all Clintons will be sending Disney merch to the landfill on June 1st as they haven't renewed their license Shock. The member of staff was really upset that they arent allowed to donate it.

Go go go if Disney is your thing (included Star Wars stuff) good for stocking fillers I reckon!

Oh and I've tweeted at Clinton. I am pretty disgusted by it.
