Is anyone going to Sainsbury's tomorrow with the double up nectar points? If so what are you buying? I've never done the double up before, I have £100 worth of points but sod all idea what to spend them on!

livingthegoodlife · 12/11/2019 20:37

I've never found the elusive flying tiger pink table. How did you get a brochure? I'm off to look at their website.

Also tips for cheaper or lookalike chillys bottles? My son has suddenly decided he wants one. Only pink one at tkmaxx.

Thank you for the IWOOT code

I have a TOTUM student discount if anyone needs a student discount code. Pls tag me otherwise I'll miss any replies.

username2020 · 12/11/2019 20:39

meant to say TOTUM Is a NUS discount card so if you go to the TOTUM site, you can see all the shops that offer discounts.

I’ve just started reading the first few pages of this thread and the “tutting postie” really made me laugh!

Been into M&S today and they still have the beauty advent calendars in store although they’re sold out online, if anyone’s looking for one.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good quality mens sheepskin slippers. Short boot style? I found some in TK Maxx for a great price last year but they only seem to have mules this year. Thank you.

@Dogmatix34 I was talking about bean bags on an earlier thread. I ended up getting a big Bertha one with a matching footstool. Not particularly bargainous but if you do go down that route I left it in my cart overnight and the next day I had a 5% off code by email.

Lc2006 · 12/11/2019 21:02

If anyone sees any good deals on Chameleon Pens could you post please

Wiifitmama · 12/11/2019 21:05

Oh, that flyer tiger catalogue is wonderful! I love the white chocolate snowmen with marshmallows inside. And the food and instrument baubles would be great for inside christmas crackers! I am definitely taking a trip to my local one!

delivereeee · 12/11/2019 21:05

@MissMarple0203 I am. I have £200 to spend Grin

Switch games
Pjs
Christmas jumpers
Cards and wrap
Books
Birthday cards
Wine and Prosecco
Lol boys
Ryan's toy blind bags
Maybe some Lego
Candles
Decorations if any take my fancy

I'm sooo excited

RaynaJaymes · 12/11/2019 21:14

Talking of Sainsbury’s double up, is it right that you can only double up £50 worth’s of points this year? (Giving you £100 to spend)

delivereeee · 12/11/2019 21:16

Yes that's right. Per card. I have 2 cards though

RaynaJaymes · 12/11/2019 21:22

Darn I must get a second card for next year

delivereeee · 12/11/2019 21:24

I'll have enough points left for next year too. Annoyingly. I'd planned a £400 double up spend.

RJnomore1 · 12/11/2019 21:25

You do all realise you had to double up your nectar points two weeks ago don’t you?

SlayingDragons · 12/11/2019 21:25

What?! No - surely it’s £100 worth of points doubled up to £200? That’s what it was last year. (Which is still less than we have to spend - we’ll still have £30 left over)

SlayingDragons · 12/11/2019 21:27

Nope! If you wanted paper vouchers sent out to you, you had to do it 2 weeks ago. If you’re doing it all via the app then you double them up and spend them from tomorrow - 19th

delivereeee · 12/11/2019 21:29

No, they've changed it. The most you can have per card is £50 doubled to £100! And yes, get them via the nectar app from tomorrow

SlayingDragons · 12/11/2019 21:32

Shit! You’re right - they are properly stingey this year aren’t they?! They’ve halved the amount from last year! Bah Humbug!

DH has a second card but we are linked to the same account. Does that mean we can spend double because it’s 2 cards or still only £100 because it’s one account?

delivereeee · 12/11/2019 21:35

Oh I'm not sure. I'd ring them and at least try and get double! Not sure the app will allow for it though

Jedstre · 12/11/2019 21:40

@livingthegoodlife Wilko water bottles mentioned on here a lot as similar to chilly bottles. I picked up a matte black one for my son for £5.

@Dogmatix34 I’m looking for a beanbag too. Bigbertha , beanbag bazaar and rucomfy are the sites I’m looking at but not quite decided on style to get.

RJnomore1 · 12/11/2019 21:47

Oh phew totally misread about the app! Did the paper ones anyway
