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

Many many thanks to a wonderful poster who sent me Lakeland codes Thanks

However !!!!

Dh has now dropped heavy hints about how lovely a heated throw would be after flicking through my Lakeland catalogue HmmGrin so I am in need for any more codes as I've already put my order through 😫

If anyone has any more Lakeland codes they're not using I would be very grateful if you would send them to me ThanksCake

flossiegrippiter · 22/11/2020 02:42

Does anyone have a Boden code? I can only find 15% off and was hoping for more! Smile

CoffeeAndEnnui · 22/11/2020 03:36

Here's my 25% off at Matalan code, if it's of use to anyone, expires tomorrow: DIG38E-5XK-01TG6O-DB5

mummabear74 · 22/11/2020 03:51

@friskybivalves @myhobbyisouting @thegirlwithkaleidoscopeeyes the Aldi special buys are available in the app but not yet online.

EwDavid · 22/11/2020 04:15

I've got the app and got the hot choc maker in my basket with no difficulty.

thaegumathteth · 22/11/2020 05:51

Available online now too (hot chocolate maker)

I'm not buying one because we don't need one.

Keep repeating that to myself

LikeSilentRaindrops · 22/11/2020 06:02

@flossiegrippiter I think C4L3 will give 30% off, but it doesn’t kick in till 24th Nov.

Givealittlebit · 22/11/2020 06:18

So pleased, have been waiting to get a ball pit for youngests Christmas present and just got the aldi one for less than 1/2 the price of amazon!

Velvetiser dupe easy to get at the mo too

CupoTeap · 22/11/2020 06:21

Also looking for a Lakeland code if anyone has one Thanks

BalaamsAss · 22/11/2020 06:34

Are there any Lisa Angel codes floating around? I know they have been mentioned tons in the past, but I think that was mainly for jewellery. (although I may be wrong - I wasn’t paying that much attention.) I’m considering some mirrors, but don’t want to pay full price

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/11/2020 06:42

Aldi special buys including branded toys online. You have to search for them but they are live. I've just bought some robots and a hot wheels cars pack for ds4, battleships for ds3 and two elf blankets for them for the Christmas box.

unkindnessofravens · 22/11/2020 06:43

Got the velvetiser dupe with no issues here too at Aldi. Also picked up Hungry Hippos for £12.99 Someone was looking for the FurReal Bear Cub, Aldi had that too for £69.99 but I think that price is on a par with Amazon etc.

runningpink · 22/11/2020 06:43

Thanks for Ikea heads up @CoffeeAndEnnui

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/11/2020 06:44

I think I'm going to get ds4 aged 4 a garage. Has anyone seen a nice one anywhere?

Any ideas for Ds1 who turns 16 on Christmas Eve. I've no idea for his birthday or Christmas. Also ds2 aged 14. They don't even know what they want. The main thing was supposed to be a ps5 but I missed out due to being at work on launch day. 😫

silky86 · 22/11/2020 06:52

For those with velvitiser's - I have a milk frother (not tried yet with hot chocolate) do you think the Aldi dupe velvitiser will be worth buying for my son who loves hot chocolate??
Also if you want hot chocolate powder, I would definitely recommend slatterys a local shop to me

drapeyday · 22/11/2020 06:59

If any one is looking to get some amazon devices nows the week. I got 42% off a Echo Dot

But there's loads of deals on kindles and tablets as well :)

ArthurChristmas2 · 22/11/2020 07:04

Just logged into Aldi no problem at all and velvetiser is on there if anyone looking!

CupoTeap · 22/11/2020 07:04

If anyone is looking for any Elf in the Shelf stuff, have just found some Elf on the Shelf top trip s on EBay for 3.99

Scrambledbeans · 22/11/2020 07:09

Lottie fossil hunter £12.99 and the treehouse reduced to £29.99 on amazon.

Dolphintrainer · 22/11/2020 07:15

@BeauticianNotMagician81
Obviously we don’t know what they’re into, but some ideas:
Spotify subscription
Dri fit top/shorts if sporty
Metal water bottle (Chillys or Sho etc)
Adidas/Nike hoodie/sweatshirt/joggers
CK boxers
Sports massager? I’ve bought this as a random gift for my sporty DS17
Noodle bowl
Learn to cook book
Phone/tablet holders that clamp on (can watch things hands free etc)

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/11/2020 07:16

@Dolphintrainer great ideas thank you. They aren't really interested in anything other than gaming 😫

Didyeaye · 22/11/2020 07:19

Aldi has the wooden peppa pig house. I think someone was looking for this ages ago? It’s £64.99 which is good compared to £80-£100 elsewhere

Dolphintrainer · 22/11/2020 07:19

Does anyone know if M&S may issue any shareable codes shortly? I’m not a card holder and have £70 in my basket.

CupoTeap · 22/11/2020 07:20
