@Haveyoubrushedyourteeth I’m desperate for those gingerbreads but they aren’t in our store yet. I’ll be stalking the shop for them!

Emma10702 · 16/10/2020 15:07

@livingthegoodlife they were in the Xmas sweet aisle

Haveyoubrushedyourteeth · 16/10/2020 15:10

@emma10702 I discovered them by accident, and was so excited I called into my husband's office on the way home to show him.....he didn't understand my enthusiasm so the children and I won't be sharing 🤣

Emma10702 · 16/10/2020 15:11

Also found these in next for my 12yo niece. Come in a lovely glittery gift box

@TheLastStarfighter glad it was useful. I bought the Christmas Eve letter and with the discount it was £4 with free delivery. Bargain!

Emma10702 · 16/10/2020 15:18

Love that @Haveyoubrushedyourteeth 😂😂 my daughter loves gingerbread so I need to find them for her.

Spam88 · 16/10/2020 15:21

It concerns me when people talk about their massive box of presents...I have several massive boxes and I'm not finished Blush

Those B&M sacks are lovely! But I definitely definitely don't need any.

angstyalways · 16/10/2020 15:36

My hoodie blanket has come from the online home shop (£13.99) I'm 5'7" and it's down to my knees, very fluffy and warm and quite think I'm really impressed

ArabellaPilkington · 16/10/2020 15:42

CINNAMON BUNS!!!

makingmiracles · 16/10/2020 15:53

@livingthegoodlife the choc snowman hot choc bombs are at Aldi if you don’t have a home bargains near you. They were £1.99 at Aldi so slightly more expensive but thought I’d let you know

ThePurpleGirl · 16/10/2020 16:09

[quote purplepandas]@deeplybaffled, does this work? Trawled through my emails to find it for you. link to offer for Turtle Doves[/quote]
Can anyone else get the Turtle Doves offer to work? I see the offer when I follow the link but when I add two to my basket and then go to checkout the price is £52 rather than £32. Confused

AuntLucy · 16/10/2020 16:10

Those damn buns! I am beginning to think you are all trolling me and they are never really £3 😂

BadgerHonour · 16/10/2020 16:20

@purplepandas I managed, you have to put the code in too

BadgerHonour · 16/10/2020 16:21

Sorry! That was for @thepurplegirl

Avoca76 · 16/10/2020 16:32

@XFPW I asked about skates on one of the first threads. The consensus seemed to be that roller blades were best and decathlon was the place to go. I ended up getting these and giving them to my nephew for his birthday. www.decathlon.co.uk/p/play-5-kids-inline-skates/_/R-p-7961?mc=8396633&c=RED He has only had them a few weeks but has nearly mastered it and has been really pleased with them so far.

Resistanceisfruitful · 16/10/2020 16:39

I've folllowed these threads for the last couple of years and got some great bargains, so thank you all.

So my contribution is 50% off Sapling Vodka with code BIRTHDAY
Sapling Vodka

Very pretty bottles and for every bottle you buy they plant a tree and the bottle has a number on it and you can then see where your tree is planted.

ThePurpleGirl · 16/10/2020 16:41

@BadgerHonour

Sorry! That was for *@thepurplegirl*
Thanks @BadgerHonour. I tried when the offer was linked a couple of threads ago and I'm sure there was no code, it just said it was automatically applied at checkout. I didn't notice there was a code this time Blush.
TheGirlWhoLived · 16/10/2020 16:44

Just got myself a bargainous personalised ornament from this Etsy seller, here

It was under £2, personalised and delivered! It’s really beautiful and unusual, like a mini slice of oak

thelegohooverer · 16/10/2020 16:47

Turtle doves offers seem to change rapidly. I haven’t seen the 3 pairs offer for a while. Currently the code FELTED-10 will get you gloves for £10 with a spend of £50. So if you bought 3 sets now they work out at about £20 ish each. I’d say a better offer will come along sooner or later if you can wait. It’s worth signing up to their email in the meantime to keep up with offers.

tiddledpink · 16/10/2020 16:53

just catching up now but wanted to pop on and say check your Argos emails - I have received a £6 off £60 spend code
to be used by 16th November - glad I held off buying toys this morning.

Hotairoverthere · 16/10/2020 16:57

I just checked - my Argos code is £5 off £50. Maybe they are different for specific accounts

violetmartini · 16/10/2020 16:58

Just had an email to say they have cancelled my New Look order. Knew it was too good to be true but was worth a try!

LostMyRubySlippers · 16/10/2020 17:04

@Hotairoverthere

I just checked - my Argos code is £5 off £50. Maybe they are different for specific accounts
I had an Argos catalogue / code in the post today- mine was 5 off 40 or 8 off 50- single use
