Thread 9 - the one with the thick willy scarf

[Reastie]

Thanks @Anydreamwilldo12 for thread title

please read the thread is moving so fast atm and it’s pretty hard to keep up! I was just wondering on people’s thoughts on this so did a super quick questionnaire here . I’m not sure we’ll find a perfect answer to suit everyone but would love your feedback on if it’s an issue or not.

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

I'm late to the party wait the spicery but just thinking it might work for my 10yr old daughter who is getting into cooking. Can someone please explain what the bargain is and what the code does? I've had a look on the site and I'm no wiser, though may be missing the obvious

I didn't add my referral code when I posted the deal but I have now if someone would be so. Kind to use it as I need more spices

Restless it is a kit of 4 mixed spices with a recipe book. The single kit is discounteb there are bigger discount for multi buy. The referral code gives you a further 10℅ off and the other person account credit.

The currys are delicious and the team on Bristol lovely when I've asked advice on meals. You just replace the spices through out the year. They also do a news letter and recipe of the month.

My music box says dispatched & due 7th - 16th Oct so keeping my fingers crossed all is well!

@whoknows1230 I received the free beer52 deal and paid £5.95 postage. I called to cancel yesterday and they were lovely. They actually mentioned that the offer I had ordered meant I received £8 credit and two additional free beers for a future order and they have an Oktoberfest box for a October. So I decided to go for it and have that coming at the end of the month, all in for £16 - this is for 10 beers. I will definitely be cancelling after that, but seemed a decent offer, just from a call - and I can make beer hampers out of it.

Thank you @lifelongfrugaleer this sounds good! I'll take a look

Big banner advert at the top of this page for me says 20% off everything at peacocks with the code TREAT20
They have some Christmas jumpers etc in, but I couldn't see anything that I'd buy.

Also if you are on vodaphone, this skin cream seems like a nice FREE stocking filler

I cannot get the spicery codes to work? The IAMLEGEND one or any of the referrals on the referral thread?

Are you putting them in the right box, @WickedEmoji? I think there's a voucher box or a code box. Let me check!

IAMLEGEND works for me. A referral code would go in the same box. Your order has to be over £20.00 to use either.

Code 19804 gets 20% off at the body shop. Minus advent calenders! I just cannot get the website to allow me to click and collect. I'm obviously doing something wrong

Oh, I've done it now, must be a glitch as it was the ginger shampoo that stopped it being click and collect eligible despite it being in stock in store. Nevermind!

Build a bear have upto 40% off selected lines.

@DumplingsAndStew apologies I thought this was transparent saying I'd love you to check this out.

It is my store, not hiding anything.

Thanks for all the chat, tips and bargains! Love this thread each year. Not a bargain as such but 02 priority have an instant win thing for customers for another couple of days. I just won a bee bomb which could be a nice wee stocking filler. Not sure what the other prizes are but free stuff is not to be sniffed at!

This made me laugh... 12 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! (In dog years)

YAPPY have a 15% off everything sale with code 12DAYS

SAVEMORE GIVES YOU £10 OFF £60 OR £20 off £100 at the elc

Sorry to ask on the thread but has anyone who had an issue with Royal Mail not delivering their John Lewis Lego parcels got either the parcel or a refund? Mine was ‘returned to sender’ although not by me, and I’ve not received it or a refund (I don’t want a refund I want the item though!).

I think it was @Cakestandkitchen On the previous thread who said it was an error and the parcel would be delivered so I just wondered if it had?

De-lurking now my DD’s birthday is done and I can concentrate on Xmas.

Has anyone else managed to get the GLAMADOR928 code to work on the glitter tattoo set pp posted earlier up thread. It looks a really nice set and one is on my list for DD.

Someone was asking about cheese boxes / hampers. I’ve seen Pong cheese recommended on here. Got my pasta from the pasta Evangelists’s deal (thanks for that! Out of Gins but got 2 cocktails instead). Code from them for 50# off your first pong cheese box PASTA50. Valid until 31/12/21. Boxes are shipped on the Wed following the order date. No idea how easy it is to cancel a subscription with them.

My Flip cards arrived from onbuy. Quality seems ok, box is fine and cards wrapped. Fine for a stocking filler.

Also big thanks for the Penhagligon tip off and codes. Their website is so awful and I nearly lost the will but persevered! Amazing bargain.

Thanks to the PP who mentioned the hot choc/marshmallow snowmen at Aldi. Popped in yesterday to get some for Christmas Eve. £1.99 each, so cheaper (and cuter) than the JL hot choc bombes (3 for £10)

The Entertainer have the same offer on as ELC, save £10 on £50 or £20 on £100. Free delivery over £50.

The new Lego:Ikea collaboration gets released in store today (online from 15th October). 4 different sizes of Lego storage boxes and a Lego set. They’ve designed them so that the box also becomes part of building/play. The biggest box is £15 and the 200-piece Lego set is the same price.

Sorry long link but 2 EB mugs for £30.
