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

I am thrilled for my children - I got the plush family bundle, pyjamas, decorations and a book. My two boys will be so happy. It was purely down to luck. I got on the website at 7:55 and they went on about 8:20 I think? The hedgehog bundle sold out first though!

WhereTheresAHill · 15/11/2020 08:50

Thanks so much for the Old Vic suggestion (sorry not sure who it was!), perfect present for my mum who usually surprises us with a festive family outing 😊

myhobbyisouting · 15/11/2020 08:51

@Cinderellashoes generic pyjamas and decorations? Or carrot ones?

I'm taking up a place in the queue just for a nosey Blush

butterflymum · 15/11/2020 08:52

@Christmascaker. Argos code used, with many thanks. Smile

Cinderellashoes · 15/11/2020 08:56

@myhobbyisouting carrot pyjamas and decorations. I’ll try and attach a pic ..

Just tried to access the Aldi site - good grief I am so naive about 134000 people ahead of me 😱

Cinderellashoes · 15/11/2020 08:58

Pyjamas were only £4.99! Probably not going to be the best fit or quality but the children will enjoy them! The decorations were £2.99 and I thought they’d be a cute idea for the children to put on the tree Grin there is still stuff left in stock on the aldi website for anyone still in the queue!

Scrambledbeans · 15/11/2020 08:58

I’ve stumbled across these lovely hunting/hip flasks with mini cups in Harris tweed for only £11.23 as they are 25% off. Clicky link

The delivery is a bit steep at £4.99 but they have lots of lovely things on sale including wool blankets at half price (£19.99) as pictured. The website itself is gretnagreen.com and seems to have good trustpilot reviews.

How long before those carrots turn up on Ebay for twice the price Grin

rosebb1 · 15/11/2020 09:10

I'm after a free delivery code for The White Company if anyone has one, please? Smile

Cinderellashoes · 15/11/2020 09:11

The website is being updated as things are back in stock now

If you’re queueing and want something I would recommend waiting anyway as they’re obviously adding more stock

HoHoHolyMackerel · 15/11/2020 09:13

@WisestIsShe thanks but that sun article is for 2019! I haven't seen anything about the ikea trees for this year yet

SparklingDinosaurs · 15/11/2020 09:15

Is it just the carrot syuff today or is it the actual Black Friday offers? I’ve just went on the app and it says they’ve take offline as demand is so high. Then I went in the Black Friday website that was previously linked earlier in the week and I’m over 149000th in the queue Shock I’m assuming most people think they are accessing the reduced switch, AirPods etc etc not just a toy carrot Confused

Lovemusic33 · 15/11/2020 09:20

I have joined the queue as I’m nosey and want to see what the fuss is about, now 155,000 in the queue 🤣

myhobbyisouting · 15/11/2020 09:20

The Black Friday deals were definitely advertised as 27th nov

Thanks for the pics, I'm not in the market for carrots but I'll have a browse 😂

Raindancer411 · 15/11/2020 09:21

Lol I am 29362 now... just being nosey

SparklingDinosaurs · 15/11/2020 09:23

I think people must have got mixed up and think the things like the switch are on sale today then? Actual Black Friday will be horrendous then as I assume very limited stock of the big ticket items. I’m not in market for any of them myself but it’s interesting to watch.

I was going to the Aldi store today for food and Xmas pjs (regular ones are out not carrot related though!) - do we think the stores will be mobbed too with confused people?!

Raindancer411 · 15/11/2020 09:25

I only want to see if they have any fat quarts online lol I need some Xmas types to make my son an advent (dairy free so cheaper to buy dairy free coins than an actual advent)

Same, I love their fat quarters, last year they did Christmas ones and Kevin the carrot. I buy the Kevin the carrot mugs too and wouldn’t mind one but will probably buy in store.

Boots have a good beauty box as a free gift when you spend £20 on makeup. I needed mascara and blusher anyway as I'm running out and scare small children at work without makeup 😂 free delivery over £30 so I added some essentials eg toothpaste, conditioner that I'd be buying anyway. The beauty box has some nice things in it.

I8toys · 15/11/2020 09:39

I'm in the Aldi queue. No idea why. I'm so british!😅

geckoko · 15/11/2020 09:40

I had a quick look at midnight on Aldi website and definitely no big ticket items, just PJs and slippers really. Oh and a churro machine.

PostPopper · 15/11/2020 09:41

Someone a couple of threads ago was looking for Baker Ross codes. Probably too late, but may help someone else. Received in a leaflet with an order so presumably generic

I would like to get new elf's for my younger boys. We don't do elf on the shelf but on 1st December we have soft toy elves that bring a hamper with Christmas crafts, bedding and a new decoration. The ones I have are looking tatty. I would really like the jelly cat leffy elf in medium but can't find them anywhere Sad

MsMiaWallace · 15/11/2020 09:47

I'm in Aldi que, 17mins to go apparently... don't need anything just interested now.
