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

@BadgerHonour it was me who was after a Disney code if you still have it please? Thank you so much!

In return, I will have argos codes to offer as soon as I can remember which safe place I stored the little catalogue in!

GAH! Missed two whole threads!

Quick warning- I ordered from Fantastic Ribbons about 3 weeks ago- never arrived, and they aren't answering my emails. About to put in a claim with PayPal.

Someaddedsugar · 20/10/2020 07:35

@mummyof2boys30 I'll be heading to M&S at some point in the next few days if you want some picking up and posting out?

Lovemusic33 · 20/10/2020 07:35

Marking my place. Trying not to spend any money for a week or 2 after buying a car. I’m half done. Dd wants a ipad 😭

BadgerHonour · 20/10/2020 07:38

@STARE2016 I’ve sent you a PM

Duckyneedsaclean · 20/10/2020 07:40

I'm so nearly done, thank you everyone who contributes to this thread Wine Gin

Well, apart from the elusive J stocking from B&M!

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't buy a bar of Milka with Daim every time I go on to look Grin

My order arrived about 3 weeks after I placed it - try giving them a ring directly!

No Gruffalo cardigans left in the TU sale already Sad and unfortunately I'm in Wales so unable to travel to my nearest Sainsbury's 3 miles away to check as it's in a different county!

@gaggiagirl

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.
I bought these for my ds in the prime day sale for £25 so might be worth waiting for Black Friday. My DH has some and thinks they're great.

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts

Ah, ok. Might give them the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer then..

I don't like companies who can't be arsed to reply to emails. If you sell online you should also communicate effectively online too.

TheSeedsOfADream · 20/10/2020 08:12

Yes, that was what worried me, but if others have received theirs ..I won't be buying from them again though.

MsMiaWallace · 20/10/2020 08:18

Got my Tu order in if boys PJs.
Had them in my basket waiting!

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 20/10/2020 08:29

@NoWordForFluffy generally I agree with you (I much prefer email to ringing customer service etc). I get the feeling they are a small company and just wanted @TheSeedsOfADream to know I'd recently received my lovely hoard of ribbon from them! ☺️

@TheSeedsOfADream I received mine quite promptly. When did you email them?

gizmosslave · 20/10/2020 08:50

If anyone sees any Jurassic world toy offers please could they let me know! DS is obsessed.

margaritasbythesea · 20/10/2020 08:54

Found in Home Bargains yesterday. I can't remember the peice sorry but not mych because I am very tight about these sorts of things (would not go for the hot chocolate stirrers which were 3.99 for 4!)

@gaggiagirl I also agree with oatmilkisntsobad
I have those and I'm really impressed with the quality. I only paid £24 for mine, they often have a voucher offer on them.

We need wireless headphones for echo dot if that’s possible. 7/10 year olds
EvilHerbivore · 20/10/2020 09:07

nearly half price on this slime kit
Present for anyone you don't like but have to buy for maybe?! I hate slime

There are some Jurassic world toys on offer at Argos.
Also Bargainmax sell figures at cheaper prices than Smyths.

Yeknom · 20/10/2020 09:15

Thank you so much! Managed to get my school uniform TU order in - and ordered the slime kit too 👏

ClaraTheImpossibleGirl · 20/10/2020 09:19

@Theonlyoneiknow might be more than you were thinking of spending, but Cornish Rattler cider is very nice! If you sign up to their newsletter you sometimes get offers too. Otherwise Brewdog has 10% off with WELCOME10.
