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

If anyone has an Argos code going spare that they could PM me if be grateful!

WaitingForEgg · 13/11/2020 21:58

If anyone is NHS I just bought some bits from SweatyBetty. They have 30% off some of their range. I used my NHS 25% off code and it came off on top. So leggings and a sports bra for just over £50 delivered

@myhobbyisouting I'd e-mail them if I were you. I binned mine. I was intending to gift them as part of a baking hamper but lost confidence because of the potential problems.

The4ks · 13/11/2020 22:22

I've pm'd you shielding.

Everyone should check their inboxes for argos codes though, I didn't know I had one either til they sent me a reminder!

FoolShapeHeart · 13/11/2020 22:23

I spotted some candy cane pathway lights & now I neeeeeeed festive pathway lights! My budget is pretty much gone (haha who am I kidding, long gone) so they need to be bargainous but not tacky. Argos have nice ones but only 30cm between them so the lit section is only 3ft long HmmConfused Any recommendations of magnificent bargains please? 🎇

waitforitwaitforit · 13/11/2020 22:28

@recklessgran Surely you just binned the banana one though? I assume there's no problem with the other ones.

keeganface · 13/11/2020 22:28

My dd14 has decided that she would like a chromebook for Christmas. I have no idea where to start. Any recommendations?

£6 off £60 spend ends 16th November.

myhobbyisouting · 13/11/2020 22:37

I don't actually like bananas so I'd happily bin it anyway. Maybe I'll just bin that one but yes, I'll email them and check

straighthairdontcare · 13/11/2020 22:37

I nearly used it myself as they had the weird talking baby yoda for £45 but surprisingly enough I can’t click and collect or have it delivered. Not much point in advertising it really. Hope someone can use it.

NoWordForFluffy · 13/11/2020 22:37

Argos £5 off £50: A38L11X56L4H.

recklessgran · 13/11/2020 22:39

@waitforitwaitforit yes I've binned the banana loaf and don't know what to do about the others as I don't feel that I can gift them now. I imagine that they thought the banana loaf was fine otherwise of course they wouldn't have sent it out so my rationale is how do we know that the others are in fact O.K ? I may well bake them myself over time but I just don't want to give them as a gift knowing what I know IYSWIM.

slithytoveisascientist · 13/11/2020 22:41

I have a £10 off £30 Boden code if anyone wants it. Expires 21/11

Maybe bake one and if it's ok you can gift the others. Mine are just for me so I'll give them all a go.

Weird question - dd is a Harry styles fan and apparently he is on the front of vogue us version. Anywhere I can order it for her? My googling skills can’t seem to find it...

straighthairdontcare · 13/11/2020 22:50

I think Aldi had candy cane lights in that were about 8m (I think). 4 canes in total.
