Thanks @ClaraLane for thread title

Just a reminder you can watch the thread by clicking on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first message. It’s much easier for everyone than so many place marking every time which can use up a fair chunk of each thread to scroll through

Here’s Barbarara’s instructions from last year on doing clicky links:

Open double square brackets
No space
Paste link
Space
Name of link
No space
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

Toblerones are £3.50 in asda at the minute. Is that a normal price or shall I wait closer to Xmas, so they come down further?

Some nice Gisela Graham Christmas decorations reduced in Mollie & Fred sale, and some other nice bits. I really can’t justify this tree fairy but I really want it. It’s probably not a bargain if I have to buy another Christmas tree for it

My Dunedin scarves arrived today, so thanks to who posted about them. Like someone else said, they're quite small and thin, but very soft.
Still waiting on a purse and wallet being shipped.

Oh and my 'Find the Unicorn/Dinosaur' books arrived too, so thanks for posting them.

Lids kids waterproofs available from tomorrow. 5.99 for dungaree trousers and 7.99 for coats. They are almost rubber like, fleece lined. I got the tip from here last year and as a mum to a farm child in rural Scotland I can say they are the best wearing, best quality and most bargainous kids waterproofs I've ever bought.

PinkDaydreams the local co-op to me usually drops them down to £2 so might be worth waiting a bit longer

I think this was in the Argos 2 for £15 but I hadn’t found any stock near me.

John Lewis and Tesco both have some of the newer ones on offer. I'm trying to find the new Burrow set for less than £90!!

@JinglesWish try the code as 4SUMMER should be just under £7 delivered

I got my kukubirds. I am a size 10-12 and they are a good fit, but my main excitement is that they are long! I have fairly long legs and always buy jeans from the tall section, and I am amazed to find that they reach my ankles!

I don't think they are amazing quality, but they are more than good enough for a fiver each, let alone 2 for a fiver.

@thelegohooverer the Mollie & Fred site is lovely... but not very bargainous when I want it all

@icedaisy do you have a link for the waterproofs please?

Hello everyone! First Post here but been keeping a watch on these threads thanks so much for the bargins! Will post anything if I find it.

I too am debating between a Yoto and a Tonies. Pretty much decided on a Yoto! Does anyone know of any discount codes or whether they go on offer ever? Thanks alot!

@hiredandsqueak I'm absolutely hopeless with links. If you go to lidl, click on in the middle, coming soon, from tomorrow is kids waterproofs.

I got one of my Dunedin scarves. Will the other turn up?! Why are they posting things separately?

Ah thank you @icedaisy

If anyone is looking for nice bedding sets (not festive though) then Fishpools has a clearance sale on. Just ordered myself a new fitted sheet and pillow cases.

Anyone wanting sheepskin slippers - try not on the high street for lucky dip sheepers ones. £22 plus £3 delivery. I got very dark grey ones with stitched wool motif on the front but looked very cosy and cafe in a nice bag

Ikea have coffee plants for £3.50. Would be a lovely gift for coffee lovers! Perhaps a little early to buy though (especially if you're as gifted at killing plants as I am).

Nice wee FM/DAB radio from Tesco, only £9.75. Can order it online with your groceries!

Do they have a hard sole, or is the sole just leather? I prefer soft soled slippers. Also, are they wide at the toe, or Pointy? I have joint issues that make narrow toed footwear painful, so hoping they are wide!

@Thenagainmaybenot have a look at deals on amazon. They seem to come up fairly regularly.

Thanks for the new thread Reastie.

I have just ordered the Sylvanian Cruiser Houseboat from their own website for £39.99 plus a fiver delivery. It us £50-60 in other places. They also do some good value bundles if you are looking to buy a lot. To my dismay, though, the lovely mole family seems permanently out of stock.

@NaturalBlondeYeahRight, old habits, to me it will always be home and bargain but technically yes, home bargains. It was a Liverpool store.

DD has seen the Lego Burrow set on tv this evening and now has decided she might like that!

Looking out for any bargainous deals!
