Thanks @ClaraLane for thread title

Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.
If I do it again without the extra spaces only the word bargain will appear in blue

Sorry I have scrolled back but can't find the sock shop bargain? Is it a code I need?

@Tiredmummyof3 go to the sale and put some of the Elle socks in your basket. When you put something else in (I went for the cashmere socks) the Elle bedsocks automatically come up as free. You can also use the code from earlier in the thread to get an extra 10% off. I think it was AFF10 or AFFEX but I'll check. Hope that helps.

AFF10

Thanks so much for your help 😀

@JinglesWish I need that toy grabber in my life but can’t get to flying tiger! what a fab bargain

How I wish they did home delivery

Hi all, DD (13) would like some delicate necklaces for layering, you know the ones of all different lengths? Where would I look for such a thing?

I’ve found urban outfitters and Oliver Bonas good for layering necklaces

The million sloths colouring book is still £2. It’s a lovely colouring book and an absolute bargain.

@JinglesWish that's a great bargain! Do you mind saying what Flying Tiger this was at? Thanks!

Just popping head above crows nest to see if anyone's found that sodding pirate ship anywhere else?

(Hoards doubloons in anticipation)

Flying Tiger isn't online is it? That toy grabbed would be ace for DS2 but I'm miles away from a store

Good deal on megablocks train

Sadly not @EvilHerbivore. Such a shame, have so many ideas as to what I could fill it with as well

That mega bloke train isn't usually much more than £15, Amazon seem to really inflate their prices for sale bits at the moment so be careful

It's also in the Argos 2 for £15 range

@Friedbanana I regularly use BrandAlley and I've never had any problems with them. If you decide to use them, I can give you a referral code. I can't stick it in the referral thread as it has to be emailed to the recipient but it's £20 off a £80 spend

@IggyAce I keep trying to add the sloths colouring book to my basket but it won’t go

Looks like the million sloths colouring book is out of stock for me, but the million unicorns one is available for £2 with 3 week delivery.

Think of getting the 3 year old the Vtech kids digital camera as he loves trying to use our phones to take pictures but off out by the fact it’s battery powered rather than USB charge if anyone knows of an alternative or spots it on offer

@Clarabella72 we bought DS his vtech camera 3 years ago this Christmas and I can only remember changing the batteries twice and it has been well used. We got it for around £30 on Amazon so perhaps worth a camel camel camel alert

The vtech camera is brilliant! We got an energiser plug in battery charger and use amazon basics rechargeable batteries which seem to last ages, I wouldn't let it out you off

Also the vtech smart watch is really good too but now dd is at school she can't take it as it's got a camera on it which is a shame but understandable

Thank you to whoever shared the Garmin watch offer- collected Spider-Man one today for DSs October birthday. Checked in flying tiger but no bargain grabber sadly! Socks have been fab too- and I got 2/3 of my bargain scarves which were lovely for the price.

No Ophir gin on offer in my local coop ☹️. Was going to buy teddy fitted sheets for dc at Dunelm but the Brentford's are a few quid cheaper but not sure if the quality would be as good.

Anyone looking something for 2-4 year olds, the wee Asda ice cream stand has been played with so much here, a lolly is lost but think I will buy another & also one for my niece!

@TheGriffle will this one fit? www.funidelia.co.uk/ladybug-costume-and-wig-for-girls-77751.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw4_H6BRALEiwAvgfzq8hSkNuDqYbq445ccn4Y8_jHMMWZKaVkFp3yrJZvKFSMjWVl_0YxBRoC37EQAvD_BwE

Not at all christmassy but in my local halfords today they had ex display car seats on very bargainous sale. E.g. A £400 one down to £200.
