Spar also has chocolate oranges £1. Trouble is I bought and eaten 2 so far

The Green and Blacks box is currently £8 in Tesco. Hopefully they'll reduce it again.

Managed to swipe the last Olay in our local Superdrug so thanks to whoever mentioned that!

Someone earlier on was looking for Ryan's World - I don't really know anything about it so don't know how bargainous this was but I was in the Works yesterday and they had a whole stand of different Ryan's World things. Just in case that helps. Kids books are on 10 for £10 there at the moment as well - for some reason they don't advertise that but the shop assistant cake and told me while I was browsing what I thought were the 3 for £5 (so of course I ended up with 10 instead of 3, oops!)

Thanks @totallyLosingIt they’re similar but yes I was looking for a bit bigger.

I know the sweetie game controller was a hit on a previous thread. I didn’t but it as my DSS is not into sweets but loves chocolate. Just found a chocolate version on Amazon.

@princessbear80 More like this?

@TellMeItsNotTrue I pmd you

Saw some Ryans world toys in home bargains today cant remember who was looking for them x

Did add a pic to that post but now I can’t see it 🙄

Home Bargains also had a mega pack of shopkins for £4.99. Currently £15 on Amazon

Last one... if you live near a One Below store its worth taking a look at the toy aisle they had ooshies packs for £1 and top trumps etc. And little packs of littlest pet shop unwrappables and various shopkins etc x

for those of us that missed or dithered over the spode Christmas Tree dining set deal with free bowls the 12 piece set with mugs, dinner plates and side plates has been further reduced to £49.98. Free delivery.

spode deal

Tesco had some gift cards 20% off. Now TV entertainment and it was either new look or h and m. I saw them on Friday so either still those ones are on or there are a new batch.

Stop telling me with the Spode!

2/5 cheap chocolate oranges consumed

Just ordered some Denby gin glasses as a birthday present - don’t forget Tesco points worth triple at Denby. They also have wooden chopping boards and pots and pans etc. Not just crockery.

Thanks @totallyLosingIt yes that’s the kind of size I’m after 👍🏼

I've pm'd you @TellMeItsNotTrue

For the person who was looking for the backpacks I can’t begin to spell... what about this eco look a likey sanchosshop.com/collections/zero-waste-collection/products/eco-handy-backpack-in-mustard

@princessbear80 try perfect petzzz on Amazon, dd was bought one a few years ago and it’s like it actually breathes. They’re really soft and come in a cute box with certificate and brush etc. One like this they do dogs and cats.

I’m annoyed with smyths so going I’m to be grumpy all of tomorrow lol. Wish the sale was online, and also wish this new bloody lol stuff wasn’t strategically out of stock until the day after the sale ends

Last year redletterdays had a glitch code for £15 off with no minimum spend, which I used to get DS a kids driving lesson, only cost me £3 so was an absolute bargain!
Hoping for one of those again. I also had the 5.50 g+b chocs last year but ran out of recipients so ended up eating one box myself...
I am sooooooo behind. I have bought nothing except a monster pen for each DC stocking. DS made his Christmas list yesterday and he's basically asked for about £600 worth of playmobil, he has no idea it is so expensive

Oh @Jammiebammie you’re a star - they’re the exact ones. Thank you!

I don't know if it's been said but Argos have up to 50% off toys for seven days starting tomorrow

Glowsticks.Co.Uk are really good for flashing novelties for younger children's stockings. It's cheap! Things like light up swords and light up skull necklace have gone down well in our house. Also unicorn themed range.

Don't know if it's been posted already but I saw this on Facebook
