Thank you!

Thank you @coffeetofunction I also got the robes for my lot. They look ideal.

@XFPW I have the Babyliss Curl Secret and until last week my hair was halfway down my back long and I really rate it. You can get them on eBay within budget if you don’t mind second hand. My hair is fairly fine and not prone to holding a curl but it does if I use these.

The sainsburys toy sale starts today

Has anyone been and got anything good?

I've just been to Sainsbury's. I seriously wouldn't bother. A small stack of items clearly specially designed to go in the sale, and not even worth the sale price.

Oh really? What sort of things did they have? In previous years I got lots of discounted play doh, Peppa pig and Thomas the tank

@nicky2512 i got my friends daughter this for her birthday and she loves it

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084ZKL7ST/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fab_dOQHFb59VPW4W?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Its alot cheaper than i paid as well!

I posted last week that sainsburys had lots of toys half price and Lego offers . I think they have been reducing so people pick up items with their weekly shop rather than the usual mad rush . I imagine they dont have as much to reduce now iyswim.

@XFPW i have this as im useless with hair. Its amazing £9 over your budget but worth it!

Sorry should read the whole thread before commenting 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Chocolateteabag that is perfect! Thank you so much.

@Dovesandkisses I got a Lavazza last year around November time on offer from John Lewis for £30. I can’t remember if it was Black Friday or a special pre Christmas promotion.

@Dovesandkisses I second the Lidl milk frother, we have had one for 3 years and it gets used every day. Earlier this year when the seal came off the lid I contacted them to ask about a replacement seal/lid and they sent a whole new unit free of charge. Worth keeping the booklet and receipt if you get one.

So I missed the offer for Echo Show 8 and stand for £49.99, do you think Black Friday will have a similar offer as hubby decided we need 2 now.

@Cinderellashoes no peppa pig. There was a Jurassic Park dinosaur, a set of superheroes, a Steffi camper van, a Barbie with a horse, and a Barbie convertible with a doll that they were trying to sell for £60. I've never seen it before but it wasn't worth that. That was about it for my store

I have just been to Sainsbury's. They didn't have any of the smaller stocking filler type things reduced like puzzles, the chad valley pre school toys for less around £10. They only had the bigger toys reduced, some big marvel characters, Barrie camper van, ponies and a castle, a hot wheels rollercoaster race track type thing, a baby annabelle doll for £30, a vetch toddler toy, a box of Lego. They had some toot toot things reduced and some random bits for about 30% off but nothing like the usual amazing sale they do sadly. But still worth a look if there's something big on the list.

Got the hand creams too thanks!

I though the same about the Sainsbury’s sale, they had set it up earlier this week and was a lot of things that are packaged/made for sales

I posted on the last thread that Sainsburys are only placing pallets at the entrance and only in the larger stores so as to avoid people crowding down aisles. So I wouldn’t be expecting much or rushing to the shops unless you were going anyway.

@NeedMoreTea Claire's was up to 75% off in the sale then either an extra 30 or 40% off depending which code you used. I found that not every item you put in the basket applies the extra 30/40 though for some reason

Thanks for sainsburys info. What was the code for Claire’s please?
