New to Sainsbury’s double up. Can you buy clothes? And does it have to be in store?

luckiestgirl · 14/10/2020 14:06

@Fridgeandkitchen I’m glad that’s the case because I just bought it! Used a referral code like someone suggested so got the velvetiser plus 2 boxes of sachets plus 2 cups for £80 delivered

Anyone need an ingrown toenail lifter?
There's one on amazon lightning deals Confused

TheGriffle · 14/10/2020 14:07

Just had these gorgeous bags delivered. It’s an advent calendar kit, comes with the drawstring bags, string, number sticker and little pegs to hang them up with. They are a lot smaller than anticipated so I’m now going to have to buy a second lot as they won’t fit both DD’s calendar items in as I hoped but they’re so pretty I’m not sure I mind!

I'm feeling annoyed with myself as I ordered a velvetiser for dd1 from Hotel Chocolate a couple of weeks ago and paid £85 for it without any drinks, now I'm looking at the TSV on QVC and wishing I'd waited!

Anyone have any tips on getting the best value for the drink sachets?

MyEnormousTurnip · 14/10/2020 14:07

@makingmiracles

Oh its a bit concerning that everyone else has had theirs. I have emailed them to chase it up, I’d have been less worried if they’d not sent till they were ready to dispatch all 6 but the fact they’ve only sent 1 out of 6 is disconcerting.
I ordered two and had just one delivered yesterday. Have you checked the order status? I’ve just looked at mine and it just says one shipped, one being prepared.
whoknows1230 · 14/10/2020 14:09

@makingmiracles I ordered two last Fri night, they were dispatched together on Saturday and arrived yesterday.

AlbertCampion · 14/10/2020 14:09

@TheGriffle Those are lovely! Where are they from, pls?

TheGriffle · 14/10/2020 14:09

There are cheaper ones on amazon as well using the same picture so I might take a punt on a cheaper set for the second lot. I typed advent calendar kit into amazon, there are loads of lovely looking ones.

AlbertCampion · 14/10/2020 14:10

Duh, just seen second photo. Ignore me! 🤦‍♀️

spababe · 14/10/2020 14:10

The vinegar smell is the printing process and disappears on the first wash. Amazon T shirts are the same and they come with a leaflet explaining this.

UselessInDisguise · 14/10/2020 14:12

Agree with comment about tat on amazon. I'm quite disappointed with stuff on there this year. The brio set we all brought a couple of weeks ago was marked as a prime deal yesterday but was £5 dearer than the day before Hmm and not as low as when we all brought it. And the first thing I saw advertised on lightening deals as roach traps.... Fastest finger wins a lovely treat 🙄

makingmiracles · 14/10/2020 14:12

@MyEnormousTurnip sadly i checked out as a guest so I don’t think i have that option to check, hopefully ill get a reply to my email...

TheGriffle · 14/10/2020 14:13

@AlbertCampion Amazon.

TheGriffle · 14/10/2020 14:14

And I missed your update, sorry! Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2020 14:14

@thebrightestcoloursfillmyhead, yes and yes!

hoopdeloop · 14/10/2020 14:16

@IceIceCoffee thank you so much. They are indeed the right ones. My local one doesn’t have any but I have family members on the hunt. If anyone sees any in stock in Morrison’s on the east coast of Scotland, I’ll travel!

@CamdenLurker you can usually get big tubs of the Hotel Chocolat chocolate flakes for the Velvetiser in various flavours on Amazon Subscribe and Save. It's much cheaper than the individual sachets especially if you have 5+ items in your monthly delivery as then you save 15%. It looks like they only have the 'Classic' flavour available at the moment but I've previously also bought the Salted Caramel and the Milky.
MyEnormousTurnip · 14/10/2020 14:23

@makingmiracles I checked out as a guest too. I just followed the link from the confirmation email.

CamdenLurker · 14/10/2020 14:28

Thanks so much for that @ThePurpleGirl - off now to check Out amazon!

IggyAce · 14/10/2020 14:31

@Reastie just a heads up that the thread is nearly full.

Reastie · 14/10/2020 14:34

Thank you! I’ve been dipping in and out but didn’t realise we are nearly all see up already

myhobbyisouting · 14/10/2020 14:36

@XFPW be careful that the Sainsbury's you go to doesn't have "order me in Argos" on the gaming shelves otherwise the double up won't apply. It needs to be sold by Sainsbury's not Argos.

I love the double up. We have 2 cards and I max out on wine, pyjamas, switch games, decorations and homeware Grin

Jess26385 · 14/10/2020 14:38

Buns!

suneetime · 14/10/2020 14:38

I think someone else may have asked this but not sure if it’s been answered. I have the Lavazzo milk frother. What does the Velvetiser do that’s different? And does the Velvetiser make the drink hot enough? Trying to decide whether I need one!
