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

Just been out for work reason and massive queue outside smyths toyshop.....seems people also panic toys as well as loo roll :(

SkintSanta · 02/11/2020 11:48

@Brashopper yeah I got a DPD email on Thursday saying delivery would be Friday but was actually today despite being a next day parcel apparently 🤷🏼‍♀️ But definitely since they were made aware from others of the issue.

CompleteBarstool · 02/11/2020 12:27

PinkJam · 02/11/2020 12:40

Some people can’t shop online so I don’t blame them for getting the toys now in case lockdown is extended.

shipperssss · 02/11/2020 12:42

Oh no! I was on a spending ban and the Elemis from QVC just jumped into my basket...in all honesty it's a massive present to myself. I used to use Elemis and Liz Earle before leaving work to have babies, currently pregnant with DC3 and it's not something we could afford anymore. At that price I couldn't not treat myself!

waitforitwaitforit · 02/11/2020 12:54

There was a thing on here once about a trick to help you search for super cheap things on Amazon but I can't remember what it was. Can anyone help?
I'm doing a secret Santa thing for a local charity and while I'm including some decent things (Victoria's Secret body spray deals anybody? ) I'm also on the look out for some very cheap 'extras' to pad the gift bag out. It's for a 13-16 year old girl btw. Ta in advance.

@Asj0405 yes it was! Thank you so much. I’ve bumped it to see if it will help anyone else out Smile

Need some green tinsel before lockdown now Confused

lexloofah · 02/11/2020 13:03

Queues outside jewellers and the bank this morning, had to go to collect a few parcels

I ordered some Nuxe treats for my own Christmas present and got a free discovery bagg* from M&S Can't see how it is worth £38 but a decent selection of tiny samples in a nice velvety pouch so the DCs will think they have given me something special

buckeejit · 02/11/2020 13:04

For any candle lovers the Byredo/Ikea collab is out now - just nipped for a stash for myself 😬

25% off Xbox clothing at Tesco

gaggiagirl · 02/11/2020 13:11

Been to the retail park to nip into a shop for something and honestly everywhere was absolutely rammed. Queues outside and no parking spaces.
I wanted to look at the Halloween clearance in tk maxx and there was absolutely nothing.

buckeejit · 02/11/2020 13:13

@lexloofah it won't let me have the nuxe bag free. I wonder if my other 2 purchases are too cheap.....did you have any problems with it?

waitforitwaitforit · 02/11/2020 13:14

I think retailers have been quite conservative with their Halloween stock this year. There was no Halloween display left at all in Aldi on Thursday and virtually nothing in Morrisons. My pupils were reporting no pumpkins anywhere on Friday! I wonder if they've been so bitten by being left with all their summer stock that they're being far more careful now. If there's less Christmas tat that'll not be a bad thing.

I was just about to post exactly this. I hope everyone hitting the shops gets sorted and it isn't too stressful x
noscoobydoodle · 02/11/2020 13:18

@waitforitwaitforit try fillerchecker.co.uk for small add on Amazon items.

CarrotVan · 02/11/2020 13:27

I just sent my SIL's birthday present and queued 20 minutes at the post office. It's never like that until December

Xmaspartyanimal · 02/11/2020 13:31

Debenhams has 30% off advent calendars, Lindt etc.

dancemom · 02/11/2020 13:31

@waitforitwaitforit things like post it's and highlighters and nice paper clips would be cheap and go down well

Trumpton · 02/11/2020 13:31

@waitforitwaitforit

Also Super saver delivery tool for add on items

Xmaspartyanimal · 02/11/2020 13:32

In store Debenhams

lexloofah · 02/11/2020 13:36

@buckeejit yes it has to be items where it says multiple offers, if you click it tells you which offers. somethings only qualify for the deal on the beauty edit and others, the pricier stuff I guess gets you the 'freebie' I bought the shower oil, the honey body balm and the lip balm

Tangled01 · 02/11/2020 13:47

I've just had my M&S rhubarb gin, prosecco and nuts delivered. Delighted with this bargain, can't remember no it was but thank you to the OP.
