Thread 10 - the one where everyone starts writing the bargain info *in bold*

[Reastie]

NEW INFO PLZ READ
**please post any bargain info IN BOLD to make it easier to scroll through the thread.

To make things bold you:
Put a star each side of what you want to make bold like this but without the space between the star and the writing *

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

Oh crikey @CoffeeAndEnnui yes I was posting in earnest, haven't had anything but good experience with them. Off to look at trustpilot now

@Spam88 try the card factory, they usually have them quite cheap

Is anyone around who could PM me a unidays code for sole trader outlet? I'd love you forever!

@justyou. I bought iPads last year on Black Friday. Can’t remember how much of a discount it was now.

30FEST gives 30% off Sketchers

Spam88 try Wilkinsons, Poundland or Card Factory

Thanks! Was it a worth waiting for discount do u remember?

@Spam88

Poundland and home bargains do decent xmas gift boxes. I am unsure exactly how big they go up to but could be worth a look!

Also TKMaxx but bet they aren't much cheaper than what you have already found

@ MrsLeclerc Thanks so much for your message! Are they squidgy do you know or solid? Thank you

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll be near a Home Bargains tomorrow so I'll have a nose. And I'd totally forgotten Wilko exists! And we actually have one in our county 😂 very limited real life shopping options at the moment...

buyagift
If you have a Santander 123 account then you get 7% cash back from Buyagift as one of your retailer offers, PLUS a 15% discount with a special code.
I don’t know if the code is reusable but if it is it’s BG15CRDL
Got two nights glamming for DD’s 30th birthday for £89 and that includes the gift box option and postage

My Penhaligons order arrived today - so glad I asked for the free gift box! Beautifully wrapped in tissue paper in a lovely box. Only wish I'd bought more! Thanks to PP who shared.

@Spam88 - Home Bargains and B&M do all sorts of storage crates, trugs, plastic boxes etc.

They don't usually have lids but could be reused afterwards for all sorts .

Maybe put the bits and pieces in and use cellophane to wrap it like a previous poster did for the hampers

Re: the post office £1.50 to pay cards, my sorting office let me have a look at the item before handing over the £1.50. It’s usually a relative who’s sent a large card with a normal stamp.

Looking for a Wonderbly code if anyone has one.

DoctorYang I’ve just added my code to the referral thread for £10 off wonderbly- it’s the one called referral thread 2
Thanks

Not Christmassy but Start Rite have 10% off full price shoes with code SORRY102020

Also thanks to PP that suggested glow in the dark stars, I love that idea for stockings or advent calendar.

Thank you so much to the lovely posters who send me discount codes for sole traders. Very very much appreciated and I'm very grateful!

Some discounted item on boots website. Nice little stocking fillers

@4Minions2CallMyOwn

Hi. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend some dog figures/small toys suitable for a 1 year old to play with? She’s currently obsessed with them and we’d like to get her some more. Thanks

I bought dgs these and the farm animal ones and he loves them and they have years of play value which is a bonus.
