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

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 don't have a 'show all messages' option. I've no clue how to search!

[HaggisTheGreat]

Hmmm.. sorry, no clue. I thought all the menus would look the same. Here is mine:

EXTRA20 for 20% off Jack Wills outlet

[ThePurpleGirl]

Aeropress coffee maker down to £22.50 on Amazon. (great idea re the bold text - fingers crossed this works )

I seem to remember them being super popular in these threads last Christmas. According to the 3 camels its the lowest price since the bargain you all snapped up last December (and I missed because I didn't think I wanted one, but now I think it would be nice for DH as he doesn't get to treat himself to coffee out any due to more working from home).

I don't drink coffee - any advice from anyone who bought one last year about what kind of coffee to use in it?

@Givealittlebit

Has anyone had their onbuy stuff not arrive yet? Wondering if i need to start chasing or hunting down!

I bought uno flip the first night it was mentioned, then ordered something else the following day. Both arrived a few days later.

[NoWordForFluffy]

I got an Aeropress for DH last year, and he loves it. But, can I please ask you to consider buying from a small company instead? I bought one from here: www.neighbourhoodcoffee.co.uk/shop/aeropress/ and their coffee is amazing according to DH.

Their Aeropress is £28 but comes with a bag of coffee.

For Piers Morgan Lovers his new book is down to £10 pre-order on Amazon! I'll get it just to wind my kids up!

[TimInRuislip]

I ordered the £11 fake oodie and had a dispatch notice but messaged to seller to cancel and the money has been put back in my bank already for anyone who was worried

[Vebrithien]

Pretty musical unicorn jewellery box £9.99 on Groupon may not be totally barginacious but very sweet. Code RED should also take 30% off site wide, with some exceptions

[PinkJam]

Liberty.

Up to 20% off
Plus, Up to 50% Off Liberty collections And 10% off beauty ENDS 5 OCTOBER

[thelegohooverer]

@HaggisTheGreat thank you for that clear explanation. Worked perfectly for me. That will probably save me hours between now and Christmas!

[Kracken]

Bought a couple of oodies for my daughters and received this code for £25 off a single oodie (not the bundle packs) valid until 28 October GETOODIE

I think it's generic.

[Limeavocado]

Idea for a cheese-lover - Amazon have reduced a making kit from £19.99 to £11.54.

I can't seem to do the links on my phone but if you search for cheese of the world it will come up first

[Twilightstarbright]

@ThePurpleGirl an aeropress and a coffee subscription would be a lovely gift. Someone recommended Perkyblinders on a previous thread.

@UselessInDisguise I found that the advisable code had expired when I tried to use it on Monday having not got round to finishing my order over the weekend 🙄

However I googled Adidas voucher code and quite a few popped up - but from voucher sites I hadn’t heard of and they all generated individual codes rather than a generic one so it would be worth checking as I found 20% off full prices (plus 10% off outlet prices but it didn’t take off from the sale item I had). So better than nothing.

If you use the Adidas app there were several places showing 25% off for using their app.

If you sign up to their ‘creators club’ you get special offers sent to you, points on purchases and free delivery on any purchase (usually needs to be over £25). Having said that, I’ve signed up and it won’t let me access it and I cant I pickle it!

But definitely worth googling for a current Adidas code and considering using the app!

Adidas update

@Raindancer411

The 6TeeNine Tshirts have a promotion which is get 3 for the price of 2 - it's only on selected Tshirts I looked on Amazon and there were only a few on their storefront however they have an Amazon store here:

6TN Store

I got 3 of the £10.95 shirts and the discount was automatically applied to my basket at checkout, then a few mins later I got an email from Amazon inviting me to claim my £10 credit for Prime day.
