Apologies starling I misread!🤦‍♀️

whatwillicallmyself · 02/11/2019 01:15

Sorry guys I was on amazon

@noodledoodler I didn't get free delivery I paid for delivery and an extra dpd delivery but with the £10 working on sale items it was still worth it.

@Barbarra DPD parcel wizard is just like parcel motel, as in you get UK deliveries sent to NI and then they deliver it to Republic for €3.85, so I got a pair of earrings and two different bracelets in the sale and the delivery to NI was 3.99 so with the £10 off it came to £10.49 paid that by PayPal which was €12.67 and then DPD charge will be €3.85 so €16.52 in total. Just change the icon to stg rather than euro and check out in stg. It's probaby only saving you about €3 to do it like that but because of this thread I try all options to save a bit of money now Grin

@WatchoutfortheROUS my Wolsey order arrived yesterday and the top I bought looks excellent quality. I am tempted to go back and order more, absolute bargain! Also uses DPD delivery which is by far the best carrier round my way and scored extra brownie points!

FeltCarrot · 02/11/2019 08:24

Thanks mog have just ordered something of those wraps for stocking fillers!

PinkDaydreams · 02/11/2019 08:26

Has anyone seen in Sainsbury’s the 850g for £3?? I remember a pp posting about it but I can’t find it on the Sainsbury’s app. Is the offer no longer available?

PinkDaydreams · 02/11/2019 08:26

850g Cadbury’s dairy milk that should have said! 🙈

Fraggle45 · 02/11/2019 08:30

I've got a bargain!

M&S have their Buck's Fizz for £3 or 2 for £5

Last night I grabbed 6 and it's also taken off another offer in error (25% off when you buy 6) as it states this offer excludes cocktails and Buck's Fizz

Got to the fill and was charged £11.25 for the 6 bottles

Just check the dates though, ones on the wine department shelves were 11/19 but on the big stands we're all 10/20

BigmouseLittlehouse · 02/11/2019 08:35

Just to say thanks again for the craft gin recommendation - my box arrived and it is great, really feels like a good bargain ( only thing to note is one of November’s cocktail mixers is bonfire themed but don’t think that matters too much!).

I’m sooo tempted to get one as a gift to myself Grin

Barbarara · 02/11/2019 08:38

@whatwillicallmyself thanks!

eitak22 · 02/11/2019 08:50

I went to Tescos yesterday for birthday cake ingredients and spotted that tins of chocs were 2 for £7 which is £3.50 each if anyone missed the offer before.

IggyAce · 02/11/2019 08:53

The free hand creams could be a good teacher gift.

PinkDaydreams · 02/11/2019 08:56

@Fraggle45 the m&s Buck’s Fizz is lovely! Their kir royale is also very nice!

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 02/11/2019 08:59

@CocoKoko123 there is 10% off a £30 spend with TENOFF on Yappy.com - not great if you want to spend less than a tenner I'm afraid! But there are lots of other personalised things in your price range which your neighbours might like?

I'm just bummed because none of the options have colouring that looks quite like our dog...

Crackery · 02/11/2019 09:02

SHOP20 gives 20% off Ollie and Nic this weekend...

CocoKoko123 · 02/11/2019 09:24

Thanks ive I'll have a look and see if there's anything else I can buy from the site to make it up to £30! And yes not sure what breed neighbours dog is so need to figure that out so can get nearest matching pic

NoWordForFluffy · 02/11/2019 09:31

Ooh. I might go to M&S tomorrow. Hopefully the cranberry Buck's Fizz is in the offer!

I'm waiting for their Irish cream flavours to go half price too.

Was there a Hobbycraft code floating round please?

If you have a very artsy teen, this would be a nice present, have bought one for my neice. It's a miniature dolls house room, but they are quite interesting, and you have to put it all together and can customise etc. Huge discount on a couple of the models, find the ones with 70% discount www.amazon.co.uk/Robotime-Furniture-Accessories-Miniature-Building/dp/B07FSGKGNM/ref=zg_bsms_kids_6?psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&refRID=RR8HF08Q7GH6QXMV8EFP

Sorry for long link

Just bought a £150 Barbour coat for my husband for £95 on Charles Hobson. They only had a few select sizes but may be of use to someone! I also used extra5% for another 5% off.

hellhoundhere · 02/11/2019 10:23

Can anyone remind me of the codes that were shared ages ago for Very? Think they might have been for new customers?

DM wants an iPhone for Christmas so DF and I are going to put in together and I thought an iPhone 7 might fit the bill (it's her first smart phone so def doesn't need the latest model) so was trying to work out the least expensive option as the price seems similar in most places including Very.

Any ideas gratefully received - I have an android phone so know nothing about iPhones!

Stocking filler for healthy families - 15% off orders of Kidchup (vegan, gluten free, low sugar ketchup and BBQ sauce) at Milly Cundall with code KIDCHUPUS

Has anyone used or got experience of the book selling website Snazal? They have a set of 10 books by an author my mum likes for just £18, when everywhere else the books are around £7-£8 each. Seems far to good to be true!

WatchoutfortheROUS · 02/11/2019 10:37

Thank you mashpot sounds like it's worth a try then Smile

eliope · 02/11/2019 10:39

hellroundhere I've used music magpie loads of times for phones, you can choose very good condition, it comes in the proper box etc. They've always been excellent, 12 months guarantee etc. My latest iphone7 is a good condition and you'd have to look very closely to see it was reconditioned.
