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

My local b&m was bursting with stockings and the sacks today (Boston) they must have had a delivery as all 3 rails were packed full of them! They also had some good prices on Lego friends (Stephanie's house £30, fashion shop £20, City cafe £15)
They had Kinder selection boxes which had lots of kinder bits in them.
Also £1 activity packs which had a Christmas colouring book, stickers, pencils and an activity book in (pic attached)

Bargain max £5 off £50 code: SAVEFIVE or £10 off of £100 code:SAVETEN

What's the Saplings vodka deal, or have I missed that?

Theimpossiblegirl · 23/10/2020 21:33

I finally got the buns! Happy Christmas. ,Grin

wibdib · 23/10/2020 21:35

@Justyou and look on the bright side - if they don’t like it, they might give it back to you and you know you like it so win win Grin
Any chance you could intercept it to take bumpf out —and use the codes yourself—?

On a separate note - does anyone else get the ads for optical illusion T-shirt’s on this thread or amazon etc? I have tween and teen and think they’d love them but I’m always wary of buying things aren’t ‘proper’ items or from a real company (but are from bizarrely name company who knows where!).

Has anyone bought one that they could recommend a good one to go for? And also do the sizes come up big, small or as expected? Many thanks!

Lidl have wooden toys coming up the week starting 29th Oct

I get the Freedom vegan marshmallows. I'm making hot chocolate stirrers and using their mini mallows
oatmilkisntsobad · 23/10/2020 22:14

Should have added that Amazon had a good deal in them when I got them last week

dramalamma · 23/10/2020 22:26

VEL20OCT gives £20 off the velvetiser on the hotel chocolat website if anyone missed the qvc deal - I think it inculudes a couple of cup/pods things but think sachets are more. - I was tempted but am infuriated by the lack of actual Information about it!! Does anyone know what it's made from inside? Is it non-stick or stainless steel?

@CarrotVan 🤣 I haven't lol'd all day so thank you!

Went into homesense twice this week as I found some nice bits.
Got these towels unbelievably for 2.99 for the bath towels and 4.99 for the bath sheets and they are lovely!! Super soft and have washed brilliantly. The cashier couldn't believe the price and checked with the manager who reckons they are just really reasonably pricedShock
Really really chuffed with them!!
This was homesense in Harlow and I don't know how they work - might not be in every store.

Do the white company ever have amazing discounts? Eldest dd wants one of their candles but wow. I’m not keen on £30 and upwards for candles!! Shock

PinkJam · 23/10/2020 22:58

I can’t remember who was looking for a white chocolate advent calendar a while ago but Asda has Cadbury’s White chocolate ones for £1.50 Smile

PinkJam · 23/10/2020 22:59

@WaitWhatOh The White Company usually do the “White weekend” for Black Friday with good discounts. So worth waiting until then.

Waterlemon · 23/10/2020 23:27

I’ve seen lots of mentions of the bakedIn cinnamon buns. They are £9.99 on Amazon - is this a good price?

Theimpossiblegirl · 23/10/2020 23:32

@Waterlemon
They drop down to £3.50 if you wait long enough.

TheCrow · 23/10/2020 23:37

Tesco have a cinnamon bun kit currently at £1.22 which looks like the same thing just in a less fancy box
