I still have no idea if that’s a typo, euphemism or actual shop
@XFPW 😬

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

Is anyone waiting for the playstation 5 to come out. Do you think they will have any deals? I know that at Curry it's already sold out for pre-order

FireflyGirl · 01/11/2020 10:26

@PhantomErik Amazon have book and toy sets for £6, eg:

Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Snail and the Whale

Dear Zoo

@PhantomErik

Has anyone seen any That's Not My... books that come with a toy, suitable for a baby boy?

I saw the dinosaur one on Amazon but the reviews say the first page is in Spanish & the rest in English Confused

Currently watch a Snowman one that's £11.99.

Actually any book & toy bundle would be interesting if anyone has seen a bargain.

My contribution:
Lands End up to 79% off sale with code 2NTV

Tesco usually has those book gift sets at this time of year

@BeauticianNotMagician81

the PS5 preorder sold out within minutes everywhere. It crashed Smyths and John Lewis websites. It’s unknown as to whether there will even be any more stock on release day, other than fulfilling the preorders. In fact it’s rumoured that there may not even be enough for the preorders. I would be astounded if there were any offers, because they are like gold dust.

I missed the preorders so will be stalking the main suppliers from the evening before launch, and have notifications set up through stock availability websites.

We have preordered. I think peoples have been cancelled already so not sure if will be any extra stock. Im even worried we will get our pre orders
Emma10702 · 01/11/2020 10:39

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but I’ve seen in news reports that aisle with book/clothes etc won’t be closed in the supermarkets

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 01/11/2020 10:44

Oh no. I'm working a lot more hours this year and haven't been able to keep up with the thread or Christmas present organising. It was going to be the older boys main present. Sad

AndddddHerewegoagain · 01/11/2020 10:46

Is anyone else not having the option to enter a discount code on matalan?

NeedMoreTea · 01/11/2020 10:47

Can anyone recommend a child's snuggly blanket hoodie. I've bought Oodies for the rest of us and need something similar for the 4 year old. I was going to get a huggle pet but they've got mixed reviews on Amazon.

AlpacaRabbit · 01/11/2020 10:48

Aldi have quite a few of the 'That's not my' books for £2.99 currently.

recklessgran · 01/11/2020 10:49

Buyagift has £10 off £30, £20 off £60, £30 off £90 and £40 0ff £120 with code OTTER valid until midnight 3rd.
I'm still holding out for another £15 off code so I can get some more 3 course Prezzo meals for £15 though.
Also please can you recommend what is on trend for boy/girl twins [15 in January] in terms of body spray/aftershaves? Do I just look on Boots 3 for 2 [hate them normally but wondering if that might be the way to go?] Sorry a bit too old to be down with the kids. Thanks.

Cinderellashoes · 01/11/2020 11:00

B and m have book and soft toy sets for £6.99 I think. I saw a snowman and a elf one I believe?

Set up notifications for all the main shops incase they get more. I know on first preorder day they sold out within minutes. I managed to get mine reserved instore. Maybe worth trying Likes of sainsburys, asda, tesco on release day as i dont think they took any preorders
BooSurprise · 01/11/2020 11:14

@woodwaj

Matalan codes
Thank you, I have used the £5 off code
Tryingtobeorganisedthisyear201 · 01/11/2020 11:17

@BeauticianNotMagician81 I am in the same situation but waiting for the new xbox. I missed preordering but have signed up to a few sites to be notified when it comes in. I have a feeling we might struggle to get hold of both, especially with the new lockdown! 😫

TheGirlWhoLived · 01/11/2020 11:21

Amazon have a lot of Baylis and Harding/ fuzzy duck sets at almost half price, also some good sanctuary spa stuff

Handy if you (like me) only need one rather than the boots 3 for 2.

Particularly good bits are the floral hand cream trio for £3.60

sanctuary spa showstopper box for £22.25

fuzzy duck winter wonderland and candle set £10.80

@lovemusic33 I've been looking at liberty charms they have some nice looking charm bracelets far cheaper than pandora, i was planning on getting one for dd as i don't appreciate/ understand the value of a pandora (she's 6).

Shutitwierdo · 01/11/2020 11:48

@NeedMoreTea someone mentioned Next do them in child sizes

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts

I went to b&m and home bargains yesterday (wasn't overly impressed with either shop). I didnt see the sacks people are talking about whats so special about them? I saw someone lovely alphabet ones in matalan that were super soft for £10 each.
Not sure about the sacks as I haven't seen one / got one but the B&M stockings are lovely. Only £3 each too!

I don't think she will appreciate the value of pandora even 🙄 😂

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/11/2020 11:56

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts thanks some great ideas

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 01/11/2020 12:41

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts I bought these sacks from Etsy. Great quality I'm really pleased with them.

Tailrunner · 01/11/2020 12:46

@Sneezein3s

Dobble Aldi have Dobble and Gruffall Dobble for £8.99, which I think is a good price. There’s also a waterproof version - although I’m not sure why you’d need it to be waterproof?

Also some feedback on the Yoto box which was recommended to me many threads ago. It was DD’s birthday yesterday and she loves it. It’s so well made and easy to use. Thank you to those who recommended it Smile

Over summer my nieces played the waterproof versions in the hot tub my DSis splashed out on when their hol was cancelled Grin
