@Kraggle the hairy bikers pie maker is excellent. I don't own it personally but it was on offer in b&m a few years ago and lots of my friends bought it and loved or. The Tefal one is just as good but a higher price.

Just wanted to add to the aeropress love. Great for the environment. Exceptional coffee. Unbreakable.

Anyone looking for experiences there's £10 off a £20 spend at Red Letter Days with code OCT10. For example, that makes a 3 course meal with wine at Prezzo £20. Will be great for some of my young adults.

DH has aeropress and will be getting a new one this year. It's lasted 3 years.

Thanks for the m&s voucher. After mucho fucking about I used it last night as they had closed my account and you need an account to redeem it.

lifelongfrugaleer · 16/10/2019 08:51

I asked on the referral thread but this seems to get more traffic. Anyone not had their spicery referral used yet before I just close my eyes and pick one

I went to see Sainsbury's toy sale. Loads of stuff for pre-schoolers. I didn't find anything.

Carrie76 · 16/10/2019 09:25

I’m on the hunt for a Segway/unicycle as in the pic attached. If anyone sees one that costs less than an arm and a leg please let me know!!

@EvilHerbivore the Lego burger thing was reduced to £12.50 in Tesco yesterday, but they had sold out.

Our local Sainsbury's isn't very big. They usually only have a small selection of toys. However, we managed to get a paw patrol snow patrol set this morning for ds4 for £25 and a huge hot wheels set for Ds3 £25.

IggyAce · 16/10/2019 10:10

Clearance event on with The Book people and CHEER10 gets you 10% off orders over £25 there are t&cs do unsure if it will work again clearance items.

SleeptightDaisy · 16/10/2019 10:16

Word of warning for the Sainsbury's toy sale some of the items I looked at were cheaper to buy from the Argos in store Lego hidden side shrimp boat marked on the shelf reduced to £20 but only £18.75 Lego Minecraft also cheaper in Argos in the same store

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 16/10/2019 10:25

I checked our Sainsbury's purchases online before I bought while in the store. The hot wheels set is £25 on amazon as well but still £50 everywhere else and the paw patrol snow terrain vehicle is £45 everywhere else.

makingmiracles · 16/10/2019 10:33

Not much luck at Sains this morning, ended up with a movie playdough set for £6.50 and a Disney princess Barbie for £5.

I did find baileys strawberry and cream for £10 a bottle, so bought two and also cracken rum down to £20 so picked one up for dp for Xmas.

IggyAce · 16/10/2019 10:40

Well my Spicery order arrived today and I’m very impressed and I’m sure my dh will love it.
Someone asked about bb dates mine is March 2021.
For an extra 10% off orders over £20 I get a £5 credit if you use code REBECCA-153896.
