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

@LiverbirdNo1 my local garden centre had lovely winter themed jigsaws. I'm buying a beautiful Robin one for my 10 Yr dd who is a little old lady. I've also got her a box of Christmas special edition twinnings Earl Grey Tea bags & a fake oodie from next. She's also requested Cashmere bed socks, she's already got the turtle Doves gloves.

PP who was after a Doc McStuffins Lamby- I have a Doc Pull along ambulance in the loft. It’s in perfect condition and was a favourite toy for a long time. You are welcome to have it (for free) if you can get it from me. PM if you are interested x

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 15/11/2020 10:30

Anyone still on the Aldi queue is the milk frother still available? I've still got 50mins to wait!

Also wanted the carrot decorations, mugs. Plus the hedgehog/grandparents/turkey and book for work!

I8toys · 15/11/2020 10:33

Just got on and no carrot stuff left.Just the big Kevins I think Didn't see a milk frother either.

MsMiaWallace · 15/11/2020 10:34

They did have the milk frothers still available!!

icanboogieboogiewoogie · 15/11/2020 10:34

There are elves everywhere. We got ours in Asda last year and there were loads in Poundland when I was there in Monday. Even Amazon will have them.

IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 15/11/2020 10:35

@Sneezein3s If the PP doesn't take you up on your offer I would be very interested in buying from you. I have been searching marketplace for weeks since DD7 has announced she will be getting from Father Christmas! I know she may be a bit chronically 'old' for it but has asd and gets obsessed with certain things.

buckeejit · 15/11/2020 10:36

Is there a website that shows the lowest prove something has been on amazon? I want to check if echo 8 stands have ever been reduced so I can decide whether to buy them now or wait for Black Friday. Thanks

SkintSanta · 15/11/2020 10:36

Oh bugger. I’m nowhere close to getting in. I’m going to have to attempt at getting them in the store. Reckon she would actually prefer the family set to the advert ones as such, so I might stand a chance of getting them maybe.

smeerf · 15/11/2020 10:39

Bose have loads of really good Pre Black Friday deals on factory refurbished items - just bought a little battery powered Bluetooth speaker reduced from £130 to £65 (discount + referral code discount). They have wireless headphones etc too with similar discounts. I used to work for Bose many moons ago and the refurbished kit is great quality, customer service is fab too.

£10 off at Bose with my referral code:

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 15/11/2020 10:39

@skintsanta if you arent worried about them being this year try ebay. I sold the showman ones for £10 for the whole family a few months ago :)

JoanneCofton · 15/11/2020 10:39

@SkintSanta I’ve just got straight onto the page, didn’t have to wait this time at all. There’s no Kevin stuff left at all if that’s what you’re looking for :(

RelightMyPfizer · 15/11/2020 10:39

@BeauticianNotMagician81

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
Google Brought them straight up

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 15/11/2020 10:42

PURCHASE20 for 20% off some sellers on eBay- I decided I couldn't wait for possible Black Friday sales and got a Nintendo Switch for £251

Sneezein3s · 15/11/2020 10:42

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile my DD was probably about that age when we gave in and bought it. I don’t want money for it - it’d just be nice for someone else to enjoy it x

lolarabbit · 15/11/2020 10:43

@Raindancer411 Not particularly bargainous but cheaper than some I've seen for fat quarters at

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 15/11/2020 10:45

@buckeejit camelcamelcamel.com for checking Amazon price history

chillimice · 15/11/2020 10:49

Ottolengi flavour** is half price (£13.50) on Amazon - lowest price yet. My friend made me the hummus with ginger out of this and it was delicious and I don't even like hummus!

thaegumathteth · 15/11/2020 10:50

The family is available @SkintSanta and the massive one. They come in and out of stock.

SkintSanta · 15/11/2020 10:53

Thanks everyone. I’m scouting eBay at the minute and there are a few. I’ll cling on to the website until I’m in in case the family are in stock by the time I get online! Refreshingly previous years family sets aren’t going for ridiculous amounts, unlike today’s releases! It really makes me mad that people think it’s fine to do that

lolarabbit · 15/11/2020 10:56

@LiverbirdNo1 Only occasionally dabble with jigsaw puzzles but as book lovers both SIL and I enjoyed doing this jigsaw

Lovemusic33 · 15/11/2020 11:12

I have been looking for a nice Christmas jigsaw too, we did many during the last lockdown and thought it would be nice to do one a few days before Christmas with dd.

TheSilentStars · 15/11/2020 11:19

Can definitely recommend Sprockets for mobile printing.

Jigsaws, we all bought a beautiful foil Christmas themed one a few threads ago from Amazon, but the most amazing quirky ones come from Wentworth's. I want every single one! They aren't cheap, but so beautiful.

VividImagination · 15/11/2020 11:27

There were no “carrots” on Aldi 5 mins ago but now the large Kevin and tree decoration children are in stock. Also ladies pjs and the book!

yellowsun · 15/11/2020 11:34

I also went to be a sheep at Aldi and bought a wipeable Christmas table cloth and some Christmas face masks to wear to work (primary school).
