Sainsburys toy sale in store now

MonaChopsis · 15/10/2020 14:36

DoctorYang that is brilliant... I've bought it for DD, who hates sprouts, and will give it to her from Jingles (our Elf on the Shelf) one night in her Advent bucket if she's done something naughty that day Grin

I've just come back from Sainsbury's. I got Lego Friends Glamping set for £16.66. There were a few other Lego friends and ninjago sets. I had a wander around all of it and I noticed a magic set that looked good, there was a lot of play doh, some pepper pig stuff. It's wasn't particularly busy and I also noticed very big rails of 50% off clothes. I assume this is ahead of next weeks 25% off event.

I only went in for celery so I can make a bolognaise 😂.

Lovemusic33 · 15/10/2020 15:15

Marking my place.

We don’t have a Sainsbury’s close by so I’m missing out on the Lego sets, would have lived a hedwig.

Good offer on kenetic sand on Amazon, I know it was mentioned on a previous thread. here

[quote Serenity25]@WaitWhatOh Ollie and nic have this backpack in the sale, don’t know if it’s big enough I haven’t checked the measurements, whether it’s a normal size. I have a different Ollie and nic backpack, it’s really good quality but it is small.[/quote]
That is perfect! Thank you. Ordered and on the way 👍👍👍👍

TeaAndToastx2 · 15/10/2020 15:30

@EwDavid thank you so much, I have lots of family in the NHS!

cinders15 · 15/10/2020 15:31

@SleeptightDaisy GETOODIE for £25 off

GazingAndGrazing · 15/10/2020 15:42

@Cosmia

After the success of my Amazon cheapie Oodie, the DC now want one. Has anyone bought from Amazon and can recommend some that are ideally c£10? I looked at the Brentfords one recommend upthread but would prefer to get different colours if possible. Need to fit 10 and 7 year olds.
I’ve ordered one through Wowcher. It hasn’t arrived yet but I can post and let you know, it was £13. I had a glitch with the voucher and their customer service was really good.

Thanks for the heads up, I just looked and it's in store only, which is fine for me as there is a store I pass on my way to work!

Does anyone have a hotel chocolate code going spare?

Cosmia · 15/10/2020 15:59

Thanks @GazingAndGrazing, I'll wait to hear your report Smile

runningpink · 15/10/2020 16:04

chickensoup23 · 15/10/2020 16:07

Mustangsallyis · 15/10/2020 16:11

@chickensoup23 I do if you want to PM me

Mustangsallyis · 15/10/2020 16:12

Oops too late!

nicky2512 · 15/10/2020 16:14

I’ve just thought of a heated throw for Dd. I’m very short of ideas for her - she’s 18 and doesn’t really want much. Would be happy with a big box of hotel chocolat! Which I will buy too.
I’ve just seen some in Lakeland. I want decent quality - has anyone bought one of these or can anyone recommend better? Would also love a Lakeland code if there’s any available. Thanks.

eastmidswarwicknightnanny · 15/10/2020 16:17

My kukubird leggings arrived today ordered via Amazon sent different ones as out of stock of ones ordered and they are really rubbish quality deffo not for exercising not squat proof primark's £2 leggings are better quality. Will use as PJs. I am a Lucy locket fan and these are not a patch or her casual leggings let alone activewear.

These advertised as being excercise wear 😂

lexloofah · 15/10/2020 16:20

@nicky2512 we bought the teal heated throw from Lakeland (dreamland was the brand I think, cheaper there than amazon)last year for MIL and it has been great as she can have on the bed or more useful when she is in the living room. It looks nice and is toasty warm, a bit thinner than I was picturing but we were quite envious and still seriously considering one for ourselves. We got a heated mattress topper this week and honestly do not know why we waited so long. I am all for heated things now

Thank you! Been looking out for a set for DTs. Not sure whether to buy now or hold out on a bigger drop. CCC says lowest ever price was £7.50.
mumontherun14 · 15/10/2020 16:24

@Reastie I ordered the original Dunedin scarves. Came in 2 days all intact slightly on the thin side but I’m happy with them for the price make good wee extras xxx
