Just bought exploding kittens for £13.40 from amazon seemed like quite a good price?

SAS survival guide £2.50 from Amazon - looks like a nice stocking filler for my Scouts (male & female)

Anyone else having issues with the TOYS20 code with Argos?

It keeps saying my order doesn't qualify but it worked earlier this morning?!

@pinkspring
I think the minimum spend is £20.

I just tested the code and it works for me. It doesn't matter though because I didn't find anything to buy. I need to get Lego lunar lander but it seems it's only available at the Lego shop. Hopefully Black Friday is successful.

You can have a personalised Santa letter from the NSPCC. They ask for a donation but they are lovely letters. You can have their name, siblings interests on. Have had them for a few years. Really good.

I've noticed some toys I have been watching have been reduced today on Amazon, I wonder if they are price matching some things in Argos

Owleez are £32 amzn.to/33pwd9l

Barbie Plane is £40 amzn.to/2WNjTNM and the Dream Campervan is reduced as well.

Oh and the Enchantimals Junglewood café playset is down to £24 amzn.to/2CimOVt
LOL Campervan down to £80 amzn.to/32ntVX8

Dniece has taken a fancy to dd’s hatichimal penguala which was, I think, the original one. I’m struggling to navigate the bewildering array of hatchimal products to figure out what is the closest to that. Any hatchimal experts able to help?

Yeah the basket is above £20, and the code worked earlier - on things like baby bouncer and play mat - now not working

There are some gorgeous Christmas dresses (for us) on Joe Browns website. I’ve just bought one and they have given me a £10 referral code for any new customers. As it has my name on, if anyone wants it can they DM me instead.

Not sure if already mentioned but just got CCC alert - Barbie camper best price on amazon £48

Ok I'm late to the throw party, but I can really recommend the Costco throw. I have an old one that was bought for dogs (back seat of car, kitchen floor, sick animals, nest for cat when he fell in a pond etc) and at a bit over four years old and countless washes and drys it's still in one piece. And importantly still soft.
And for some people this site whilst a bit expensive is brilliant for the hard to buy but has sense of humour person. I got someone the s it water bottle.

I have a £50 off virgin wines voucher, minimum spend £99.88 on a 12 bottle case or more. If it's of any use to anyone let me know and I can PM you the details.

Well it would appear according to Argos that my order hasn't gone through, despite them taking the money off my available bank balance.
Now to wait for the money to go back in before I try to order again as no way am I having that amount tied up & then spending that amoutn again!

@AstrosFan I enjoyed reading about your b&m adventures! I adore that shop. They are now stocking makeup revolution advent calendars and pallettes if no one has a superdrug close by.
I went in today and got a transformer. Fry's raspberry creams and some Brussels sprouts crisps!

Just had a message to say my Christmas didlum is being dropped off tonight. I have already got lots of bargains which I used my credit card for so I can pay off now (probably paid as much interest as I've saved )

@SleeptightDaisy I'm not sure why you couldn't get delivery from Argos. I couldn't get free click and collect as it was out of stock in all my local stores but was able to pay for home delivery .
Unfortunately it looks like it's out of stock now

Book people have this biscuiteers book for only £3.49. they make posh biscuits for home delivery usually!

Mine arrived today as a Christmas gift to myself (I haven't looked inside) but the outside is gorgeous and hardback. It's about A4 in size.

A lovely gift for some for a homebaker!

Thanks @DillieDoily I managed earlier to get a page that offered delivery but even after trying various postcodes including work, various family and friends it wouldn't post to any. I seem to remember I've had this problem before with Argos that if the local stores are out of stock they won't deliver either.

Oh help my phone now being weird. Sorry.

Dangerfloof that site is hilarious, lots of ideas!

@AstrosFan that's my kind of day 😁

Haven’t been following this thread that much so it may have already been mentioned, but if, like me, anyone has been waiting for Cubby the curious bear to come down in price, it’s now £56 on amazon. My DD is desperate for him so I’ve snapped it up!

Those of you who ordered from The Spicery on a previous thread, check your emails. I was sent a discount code for £5 but the website let me apply it twice and took £10.12 off my order.

The code on my screen shot has been used so check your emails!
