Thanks for the heads up @PinkDaydreams just managed to get some!

The insulated waterproof squall bluewaves. We do a lot of countryside walks but I have Reynauds so need a decent coat and that one looks as though it will keep me warm in anything. Almost £100 off as well!!

I'm tempted by that one but also the Seasalt Janelle. Tricky!

I ordered the pet buddies but then cancelled the order as it’s actually the farm yard ones I wanted! Thought I’d cancel it so that someone on here could get them

I did want a Janelle but the saving with Lands End swung it for me tbh.

I did want a Janelle but the saving with Lands End swung it for me tbh.

I've got a Janelle and wasn't all that impressed with it, it's also frayed on the shoulder seam and Seasalt weren't interested as I no longer had the receipt.

Speaking of puppets, was there an offer on finger puppets last year from somewhere? Or have I imagined that?! (scratches head and reminisces about hamper-gate!!)

pinkdaydreams try the sale/clearance section on Puppets by Post ☺️

Haha I missed them again! I swear I check this thread all the time too! Will keep my beady eye out!

@mummymilkfloat my 6yo asked for a giant teddy... I was dubious but got her it and she absolutely loves it 9 months on. Sleeps on it every night on her bed and dresses it in her clothes. Just bought a giant dog soft toy from smyths I think for dn for about £30. Something to think about- it totally has the wow factor!

On the Zavvi T-shirt bundle if you use the code Mystery10 it will knock £1 off & also gives free postage

@Crackery that sounds so sweet, dressing it in her clothes ❤️ I will investigate, thank you!

Amazon have Nuxe lip balm down to £8.53 not a massive saving but it’s good stuff & I’d happily pay that price.

Nuxe lip balm is the best. Fact.

Hi iv been on here most years but always name change. Have read the last few pages and got started on some shopping so thanks. I'm after a TV and my daughter wants a ps4 or xbox if anyone sees any deals thanks. Will post any bargains I see.

@Scbchl I seen some really great priced telly's in Tesco today. They were doing 65 inch Phillips Smart TV £450 which I thought was good but they also had smaller ones ranging down to £200 I never took too much notice so couldn't tell you specific prices for sizes other than the one above, but remember glancing and thinking that's a really great price for them.

And I would really recommend Phillips TV's my mum donated me her one when I first moved out 10 year ago and it's still going strong all be it in the spare room now

Lots of vans on at tkmaxx around £25

Also for the seasalt discussion, I've just bought a seafarer (much cheaper on eBay but still new), and I really like it. Still to test it on the rain though

Those who bought puppets- what age are you giving them too? Was unsure if too 'young' for nephew (will be about to turn 6 at Christmas).

Pinkdaydream- primary normally have bath finger puppets (made from.face cloth material) by the tills, themed such as Toy Story, farm yard animals etc. Nit sure if they have them in year round.

@Methenyouplus4 I got a lovely faux orchid from Aldi a while back but also saw some in dunelm.

@Focusanddetermination I would love the code - I can't see how to PM on the app (if anyone knows how please can they let me know!) but will message ASAP.

I think i’m nearly sorted with all these bargains. I’m off to home and bargain today to try and get a few bits that have been mentioned.
I also have a bit of a random request, if anyone uses homepride flour and isn’t collecting the baking tokens can i have them please? I was baking with DD (7) who spotted them and obviously started googling what you could get and has now decided she’ll ask Santa for them all. Her logic is elves like cookies so they must go through a lot of flour.

Switch Lites dropping al over the shop!

Curry’s PC world, ao.com and Smyths all have the aqua version this morning to name a few.

Oh and the velvetiser arrived yesterday and it looks fantastic! The pack of chocolates to use in it is a separate box but the use by date on mine was February 2021 anyway.
