Hope you don’t mind the title @IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts !

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 Thanks

@greyinganddecaying

Has anyone seen any good deals on iPads (not iPad mini)? I need to replace a laptop & am thinking about iPad with keyboard.
If you have a student who's code you can use it'll give you 10% off an iPad from apple

Barbie car and doll for £15 in Tesco. Now just hunting for the dream house...

@NeedMoreTea I bought the bubble tea for the dd Christmas eve box but ended up giving it to them straight away as when I checked it the instructions say use within 30 days ideally. They are far from impressed said it was disgusting. Still got most of the kit sat here

myhobbyisouting · 19/10/2020 21:56

@UselessInDisguise it says to order over £20 and they'll email the fiver within 2 weeks.

I usually find amazon good with these things but we will see!

BadgerHonour · 19/10/2020 21:58

I’ve got a Disney discount code too, I saw someone asked on the last thread.

It either gives you 20% or free delivery

They look lovely, thank you. We are on another circuit breaker here so will hopefully manage to get in a couple of weeks time.

DillieDoily · 19/10/2020 22:12

Thank you to whoever mentioned the half price Aveda shampoo sets a few days ago- they arrived this morning and they look fab for £20! (Plus I get to keep the free samples Smile)

[quote NeedMoreTea]@Scoleah thanks for the bubble tea report. I've been procrastinating over getting that kit. Problem is I wouldn't know where to start if buying the ingredients to make my own bubble tea hamper. Please could you tell me what the best before dates are for the ingredients? I was wondering if it would last until Xmas?[/quote]
No problem!
Ill double check the dates in the morning, it's put away now, I can't actually recall seeing them on the tubs, but will check!

This is quoted from the site
When is the best time to order for Christmas?
Boxes are best consumed in 30 days and use within 60 days, so it’s best to order after November for Christmas deliveries.

FAQs here if you wanted to know any info :)

Amazon currently have the green Lego base plate for £3.50 I know someone was looking out for them.

ShoppingBasket · 19/10/2020 23:05

Can anyone recommend a normal laptop that their kids play the likes of fortnite on successfully please? The guy in PC world says it is possible to play games like that just not the likes of call of duty etc. Anyone any experience?

Argos sale WHY is there never anything in stock. Every bloomin year. They do currently have 20% off fortnite toys if you can find them Hmm

Theonlyoneiknow · 19/10/2020 23:31

So we use the 'drawname' app so each family member (adult) only buys one gift like a secret Santa. My recipient has asked for some nice bottles of cider. Has anyone seen any nice ones and I could make a hamper up or maybe a gift box of ciders? Thank you!

recklessgran · 20/10/2020 00:06

Just giving you all the headsup that the Tu 25% off promotion is on. Just got 5 pairs of pyjamas for £12 a pair plus 2 Christmas jumpers. Really happy with that.

CoffeeAndEnnui · 20/10/2020 02:22

Thanks, @recklessgran, that tip just let me justify a Christmas top I don't need but very much want!

IamChipmunk · 20/10/2020 05:38

Sainsburys have 25% off Tu. I had a basket waiting and there was just one xmas dress and some socks showing as out of stock. Everything else still in stock.

Thanks to whoever gave the heads up

IamChipmunk · 20/10/2020 05:40

@gavisconismyfriend

heated throws Think a few folk were looking at heated throws? qvc have them on preview offer www.qvcuk.com/Cozee-Home-Luxury-Faux-Fur-Heated-Throw-with-6-Heat-Settings.product.809971.html?sc=SRCH for about £34 instead of £66. I’ve got a referral code for another £10 off if you PM me, or there’s loads on the referral thread
Hi, I can't see those heated throws for anything less than £66. Has the offer ended?
gaggiagirl · 20/10/2020 06:43

Can anyone recommend some wireless headphones for DD who is 9? She uses her echo show to listen to music if that makes a difference.
Thank you.

TildaTurnip · 20/10/2020 06:59

Thank you-someone has PMed me the Lakeland code. So kind Smile
