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

Not Barbie Playmobil (which doesn't exist) Barbie, Playmobil etc.

If ever we need reminded of the importance of commas!

So the nectar points have to be used in store? You’d have thought they would have changed that for this year. We are self isolating awaiting testing yet again so won’t be able to take advantage. I’m sure we’re not alone!

NoWordForFluffy · 28/10/2020 19:39

You'll be out of isolation by the time the promotion starts though. It's 11-17 November.

But yes, it's in store only.

PinkDaydreams · 28/10/2020 19:46

I'm looking for Sarah and duck pyjamas for a boy, has anyone seen any please? All I seem to be able to find are girls ones

TheLastStarfighter · 28/10/2020 19:53

Ah! Thanks @NoWordForFluffy Smile. I missed that bit.

Arthien · 28/10/2020 19:55

Hoping someone can help - I swear I had a tab open with a FB page for a lady who makes decorations from glass. I’ve somehow closed the tab and lost the link! I thought it was on the independent sellers thread but I’ve searched and can’t find it. Anyone got any clues what it might have been? 😕

VividImagination · 28/10/2020 19:55

I anyone has a student or other code for sportsshoes.com I would be eternally grateful.

Someaddedsugar · 28/10/2020 20:12

Thanks @Didyeaye - I've had a look elsewhere and that still looks like a good price. My DParents have asked me to get something on their behalf so going to have a hunt in the supermarkets tomorrow to see what's on offer, and then I've also found the Hot Wheels monster truck ramp for £15.30 on Amazon (lowest ever price according to the CCC records) so will get that too.

shash1982 · 28/10/2020 20:15

Hobby craft have Christmas gift bags 5 for £3.50 in store but also buy 2 packs for £5.
So 10 gift bags for £5 if it helps anyone.

shash1982 · 28/10/2020 20:15

They also had a make your own wooden sleigh for £15.
The cats are going to happy as well as dad's! 😂

shash1982 · 28/10/2020 20:16

That should've said dd's not dad's! 😬

AnnaSW1 · 28/10/2020 20:19

@PinkDaydreams I have seen Sarah &Duck PJs in neutral bright colours on Character.com in the sale. They are short pjs though.

PinkDaydreams · 28/10/2020 20:22

@AnnaSW1 thank you for that, I'd prefer long sleeved and legged if possible, for winter :)

shash1982 · 28/10/2020 20:23

Is anyone having problems with an asos 20% off code?
Need to get Nike trainers, for to checkout and added the code but it said its not valid.
The code is FLIPYOURFEARS
Checked the email and it says off of everything.

heymammy · 28/10/2020 20:33

Massive thanks to everyone on this thread! I've so far bought:

the baking bundle - although wasn't £10, price came down to £13, for dd1 and her dboyf
A 6 month writers magazine sub for my dbro at £15.99 which came with a £25 Milton brown gift card!
Qwertee t-shirts for dbro and exdp, £8 each
McDonald's app 50% thing which we will use on hallowe'en

I will be sure to return the favour and post any good bargains I find.

greyinganddecaying · 28/10/2020 20:37

Thanks for the minecraft onesie @origami

myhobbyisouting · 28/10/2020 20:37

The nectar categories are wider than you think and yes have been the same for some time.

I buy toys if a good price, pyjamas, slippers and wellies if needed, cards, wrap, decorations, home fragrance and this year I want pasta bowls. Prosecco and wine, books, switch games, a new cd for the car, underwear and bobbles and handbag for my niece.

We always double up the full amount on both cards for £200 Grin

Serenity25 · 28/10/2020 20:37

@VividImagination have pm’d you a student code.

NoWordForFluffy · 28/10/2020 20:44

You'll be lucky to get many Switch games as they're barely stocking them, just a cursory few. I keep checking every store I'm in!

LostMyRubySlippers · 28/10/2020 20:54

Magazine.co.uk are offering a £25 Molton brown gift card when you take out a Christmas gift subscription- not valid on direct debit orders

VividImagination · 28/10/2020 20:58

@Serenity25 thank you so much 😊. Ds3 is into men’s trainers now (as are ds1&2) and they are so expensive. That’s made a real difference.

Xmaspartyanimal · 28/10/2020 20:58

@shash1982 The code is not valid for everything unfortunately. If you click the banner you can see list what's included.

allatonce99 · 28/10/2020 21:10

Thought I would mention with Argos.....
Last year they did the 'crazy codes' where each Wednesday they did a different discount code/offer. Although it hasn't been advertised I have noticed new deals for the last two Wednesdays I wonder if this is it but they're just not shouting about it?
Wed 21st was 10% off of lego
Wens 27th was up to half price sale on Barbie, Thomas and Hot wheels (live now)
I wonder if next Wednesday will be another/different offer.....

LikeSilver · 28/10/2020 21:10

@VividImagination EOB1 should get 10% off (via student beans)

LikeSilver · 28/10/2020 21:11

Oh sorry just seen you had one already
