Thanks @allatonce99 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

If any link doesn’t work or you want to add something please let me know by @ing me

I'm looking for one of those pore sucker things, if anyone has any recommendations or sees a bargain? Not very Christmassy

@BumpkinSpiceBatty Haven't read the full thread yet so forgive me if this has already been said but M&S have some good Halloween themed sweets and chocolate on the shelves at the moment. Also Halloween Percy Pigs if that's your thing

Was someone looking for a switch lite?

Thanks for all Switch info, I'm off to look.

catlady I bought a pore sucker off of FB £20 but £5 cash return if you do a survey. Not arrived yet but will update when it arrives.

Oodie has great savings for multi buys. Does anyone have one? Are they far superior to the other ones available ? £18 on Wowcher right now but if I order 6 Oodies (split with friends) they work out at £36 each ( £79 usually).

just I was swithering whether to go Lite or normal switch.

Oh thanks @margaritasbythesea that was just the site I was remembering. Thought I had it bookmarked. Looks great.

Thanks for the new thread. Has anyone seen an offer for a subscription to Country Living please? I thought I saw one a week or so ago for £1 a copy but now can't find it anywhere... Also I seem to remember there was a really bargainous Naked Marshmallow Co offer last year - anyone seen anything similar/can remember when that was please? Thanks :)

Ok, now I've spent a small fortune on cheese. Wiped out all the savings I've made from bargains so far

Curious as to whether everyone who tried Northumberland Cheese Co found them via their Facebook ads? I was ready to give them all my money but DH intervened...

For cheese try the courtyard dairy so delish.....

Thanks @Puffalicious Looking forward to hearing all about it

Does anybody know how long the argos lego offer is on for?

Nope @Spam88 , mine was a recommendation from a family member who lives nearby!

Magazinesdirect has 6 issues for £6 at the moment. Or my area one is £12 for 6.

Oh wait, that's Country Life, not Country Loving, sorry!

[quote zeerecords]@thiap if you don't mind if you happen to look in Ralph Lauren kids (upstairs in the main Ralph Lauren) whether they have any of the baby clothes marked down! Last year I managed to pick up some baby grows and tops for £6.99!! This year I've been twice (before and after lockdown) & both times they've been £20 odd (exact same ones as well). There was also a little dress I got last year for £12.99 and the same one is now over £30 I couldn't believe it. [/quote]
I'm sorry- definitely no bargains in Ralph Lauren today eye wateringly expensive!

Does anyone know of where I can get a decent cheap hamper from?
Anyone tried Aldi hampers?

@Puffalicious I have an actual Oodie, and it's fantastic. I can't wait for it to get colder, so I can wear it even more!

Heads up for anyone looking on the urban outfitters sale....it's 4% cashback on Quidco too!

Oooh 1sttimemama now you're tempting me. Worth the money then?

Has anyone seen any bargainous shampoo bars, preferably in tins? I'm looking for one for DD's stocking as she likes zero waste products

I've seen a few pop up on Facebook ads but by the time you add postage they become quite pricey.

Last Xmas I bought her a great Holland & Barrett zero gift set with all sorts of ethical/zero waste products in that I saw on these threads and it was a big hit . Has anyone seen anything similar this year?

@Puffalicious

I'm also looking for a decent Switch deal and Samsung wireless buds if anyone comes across any good bargains.

By the by, anyone who's in the know, should I get the Switch or Switch lite for DS 8, almost 9?

I would go for the switch if you can afford to as means you are able to play together, on the TV etc

20% off at Dorothy Perkins YAY20

Since they came out its been hard to find offers on a Switch. So far on these threads over the last few years is to open a credit account with Very and utalise their new customer discount or find a bundle with a game you'd buy anyway. Neither are particularly bargainous but at least you know if you buy before BF you wont get seen off.
