It’s nearly December, Father Christmas is busy putting the final touches to his toys on the workshop and we are busy elves preparing for a somewhat different Christmas this year.

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 have a Roomba 675 and a 676 in my Aldi basket. Is there any difference between them, apart from one being white and the other black? I can’t see anything but I may be missing the obvious.

catfeets · 27/11/2020 01:42

The Aldi switch lites are coming back in and out of stock so I guess people are leaving them in their baskets and logging off without buying.
I ended up buying a roomba which I have never even considered before. Got caught up in the moment Blush.

TheDrsDocMartens · 27/11/2020 01:52

Switch lite in stock just now

Brashopper · 27/11/2020 02:06

I’ve bought the 676 Roomba. Now I’ll have to keep the floors clear!

Yoshi - leather goods - always make interesting, good quality presents. Free delivery on all orders and up to 50% off Black Friday sale items: www.yoshigoods.com/collections/black-friday-deals

I have shopped with them several times and have always been pleased with my purchases and the customer service. Signing up for their emails gives you 10% off your first order, which I think can be used on sale items. They have many lovely collections but the bookworm ranges are particularly beautiful.

Givealittlebit · 27/11/2020 02:26

Switch lights and AirPods saying in stock on my aldi, no queue to get on either 🤷🏻‍♀️

Givealittlebit · 27/11/2020 02:27

Oh no, AirPods OOS when you click on them, it seems a bit glitchy

Jacopone · 27/11/2020 04:48

I’m wide awake and I don’t even need anything from Aldi.Smile.
On the other hand, just checked Amazon Lavazza milk frother and guess what? Surprise, surprise - £49 today while it was £39 all the time before and I was hoping it would go down (last year it got famously reduced to £19.99!). I don’t need it that much - DH only drinks black coffee and I’m a tea person but it has put me off buying anything on apparent BF deals.

Famousthehero · 27/11/2020 05:26

Olli Ella have 25% off on selected items until midnight, seems to include bags, holdie folk, dinkum accessories (not dinkum dolls).
I got the shell purse for dd3 who has announced she wants a clam and a claw for Xmas and won't be dissuaded...

Thehollyandtheirony · 27/11/2020 05:34

Johnstons of Elgin have a Black Friday sale on. Lots of cashmere gloves, fingerless gloves, bed socks and wrist warmers. The best part is that international delivery is free so great for sending presents abroad.

WeAreTheWeirdosMister · 27/11/2020 05:34

@ClaraTheImpossibleGirl abel and cole have a free bottle of posh organic prosecco comes sealed with wax with a twine pull to peel it off, if a remember correctly. If you recommend a friend, and they get a free small veg box if you can sign up and get someone else to sign up too. My link is on referral thread, as trying to get a bottle to gift Grin

NewYorkIvy · 27/11/2020 05:40

Slatterys 99p delivery all day
Their chocolate isn't the cheapest but it's lush and highly recommended

I nodded off so missed midnight! 😂 Good job I wasn't needing anything.

There are still Switch Lites available.

LikeSilentRaindrops · 27/11/2020 05:52

@Luxplus have you still got an entertainer code please? Am trying to bring down the cost of hideously overpriced baby dolls!

MysweetAudrina · 27/11/2020 06:04

Free 1 wick candle worth £32 with £35 spend on Neom today. Code black.

drapeyday · 27/11/2020 06:11

30% off Barbie fresh n fun food truck today for Black Friday.

I knew it was worth waiting until today for it 😂

Mumto3thatsme · 27/11/2020 06:15

Switch lites still in stock on Aldi.
Tottenham Hotspur have 20% off over the next 3 days, there’s 2% cash back at TCB too.

Looking for a bargainous fortnite battle bus and hot wires set, then just a beauty bundle for mum from boots and I’m done, brilliant thread this year, thanks!

purplepandas · 27/11/2020 06:18

Barbie Camper is £54.99 on Amazon barbie camper

XmasLockdown · 27/11/2020 06:24

I managed to get in Aldi straight away in mid night. No queues. I was surprised and ordered the Duplo I was after,

That's really cheeky isn't it? Don't know if Lakeland still have the Jolie machine plus the frother for £60 or so. I stomped away grumpily when they wouldn't despatch it to where I am!.
SomethingInTheWaySheCooks · 27/11/2020 06:49

Curry’s have this code SWGAME10 to get 10% off if you buy two switch games. Cd Keys sale doesn’t seem to have started.

Jacopone · 27/11/2020 06:55

I think I’ll give a milk frother a miss.. After all, it probably would be mostly for visitors ( what visitors? We are likely to go into tier 2!😇). But I’m looking for a luxurious Christmassy scent. A candle or a reed diffuser (or both) of frankiscense, mandarin type scent, Can someone recommend something tried and tested and liked? Doesn’t have to bargainous.

margaritasbythesea · 27/11/2020 07:01

20/ off One Hundred Stars on everything but the cashemere. No code.

Amazon BF seems utterly underwhelming.

Sorry to all those who have sleepy heads after Aldi lasr night. I was rooting for you all reading all the messages!

Notlongnow1 · 27/11/2020 07:07

Just got me a Roomba! So excited so thanks Aldi crew for drawing my attention to them. Already worth it for this conversation alone between my 2 and 5 year old...

"Mummy ordered a little robot that sweeps the floor for us!"
"For real? Does it have a little feather?"

HoHoHolyMackerel · 27/11/2020 07:24

Well, I haven't brought a bloody thing yet. Aargh. I'm not sure I've ever been successful with black Friday 😂 lesson learned not to wait.
