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

Close double square brackets

Like this
[[www.amazingbargains.com bargain ]] but with no space after/before the brackets.

I have had a brainwave idea for a gift to buy a tricky person but unfortunately can’t actually find said gift!🤦🏻‍♀️

Any of you clever lot know where I could get my hands on a jigsaw for Rangers Football Club. I’m thinking of the stadium rather than the players but open to suggestions.

The only ones I can find are 3D which aren’t suitable or £40 on Etsy which is out of budget.

Posidonas · 22/11/2020 14:52

Could anyone please share a Lakeland code? The heated throws are just what my dds need.

TheSilentStars · 22/11/2020 14:52

Thorntons 20% off everything with BLACKFRIDAY20

Wistfully remembering those long forgotten bargain thread days of the mahoosive Thornton's hampers- I'm going to predict that there will be better discounts in about a fortnight.

@hohoholymackerel this disco ball is brilliant ans plays music via Bluetooth from our phones or alexa. Kids use it often. Though small it really projects light well. About £16 on amazon

Also whoever was asking about Edinburgh Ikea I suspect they will put in a system soon for click and collect or something since no one who lives in Edinburgh is actually allowed to go there anymore. (Different council in different covid tier). So check back in a few days.

IggyAce · 22/11/2020 14:55

@oatmilkisntsobad here are some suggestions link

lamp

bulb

LostMyRubySlippers · 22/11/2020 14:59

Amazonmulu · 22/11/2020 15:03

Does anyone happen to have a code for one of the gift / experience sites - buyagift or red letter or Virgin experience? I have a lovely but super awkward to buy for BIL

🤞🏻

recklessgran · 22/11/2020 15:03

If you have a good picture you could get a jigsaw made. Always good codes around for the ravensberger (i think!) jigsaws
oatmilkisntsobad · 22/11/2020 15:16

Thanks IggyAce they look great especially the bulb one!

recklessgran · 22/11/2020 15:20

@Amazonmulu code XMAS30 will give you £10 off a £30 spend at Red Letter Days if that helps you.

RJnomore1 · 22/11/2020 15:28

@runningpink the cheapest ibrox jigsaw I can find is £28?

recklessgran · 22/11/2020 15:29

30% off at ROMAN with code TAKE30 I love Roman clothes and just got a pair of their brilliant black jeggings for £16.62 delivered.

Jessiegirl · 22/11/2020 15:33

@GymSloth thank you so much for the telescope info. Wouldn’t have even thought about Aldi.

CarrotVan · 22/11/2020 15:35

@Amazonmulu SNOW will give you £10 off £30+ or £30 off £90+ at Buyagift

AndAnotherSoup · 22/11/2020 15:37

@runningpink Photobox do personalised jigsaws and are likely to offer a discount for Black Friday. If you found a good quality image of the stadium online that should work. Photobox are good about warning you in advance if the image quality is not good enough.

Carrie76 · 22/11/2020 15:37

I’m so cross i ordered a Christmas pudding gravy jug from Asda and it has arrived in a big box with no wrapping of any sort. It’s smashed to pieces. what kind of idiot expects China to travel in the post with no protection and not break???

Rant over

smartiecake · 22/11/2020 15:37

@xoxogossipgirl2020 smyths toys are expected to have squishmallows in stock this week from tomorrow according to the website

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 22/11/2020 16:03

@Sunshineskies thanks so much. Yes I'm going to keep an eye on the Amazon Black Friday lightning deals.

TheSilentStars · 22/11/2020 16:21

Photobox already have up to 70% off everything but sadly not the jigsaws.

uniqlo · 22/11/2020 16:29

@xoxogossipgirl2020

Thank you to all those who offered to look for the grinch pjs for me!! I think one of my lovely customers from my little business has found me some! Amazing!!

Next up, I’d anybody (or 4 people.....) have a spare Aldi squishmallow they want to sell then here I am.....went into hospital and missed them in store, they are now silly money on eBay and I’m gutted 😔

Also looking for red/white candy cane stripe throws like those seen in lad baby’s latest video of anybody can help with that!!!! No matter what I do this Christmas, I will feel like a failure because of the squishmallows 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Admittedly I don't know anything about squishmallows but there are some available to buy online from Aldi? here
runningpink · 22/11/2020 16:34

Wow thanks for the replies for the jigsaw!

@LostMyRubySlippers I don’t like that one but thanks for looking.
@RJnomore1 can you link to the one you found please?
@bookish83 and @AndAnotherSoup I did think of getting one from the likes of photo box but I don’t have any personal pictures or anything to do with football. (I’m a rugby girl) so wasn’t sure about copyright of one from the internet?
@butmumineedit I will check the rangers site. Didn’t think of there!
