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

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

Game has the Nintendo Switch Trine Ultimate collection at £29.99. I think this is quite good as it’s £49 on Amazon and includes all 4 games.

thelegohooverer · 27/11/2020 07:30

20% off everything at Bare minerals with code FAVEFRIDAY.

TheSilentStars · 27/11/2020 07:32

Elemis
Only for first 100 but email came 14 minutes ago
Free GWP set worth £100 on no minimum spend.
I have shoved a cleanser in for £20 (took 35% off that as well) 3 free samples, free postage and the free GWP all for £20.
I await it being cancelled but a cleanser is handy!

Restlessinthenorth · 27/11/2020 07:33

Delighted with the Barbie camper on the Amazon sale. Seriously twitching over the ambulance and food truck, purely because I'm such a sucker for a bargain!

marly11 · 27/11/2020 07:34

Hmm so why does the vodaphone code for the popcorn tell me if it not a valid code? Anyone else having this problem?

Lovemusic33 · 27/11/2020 07:35

Bakedin have a sale on their bake shop items (cake mix kits, mug kits etc..).

Urban outfitters have 50% off some items

Has anyone seen any Christmas bedding at a bargain price?

marly11 · 27/11/2020 07:35

'Tell me it's' - sorry.

Chocolateteabag · 27/11/2020 07:41

Silent stars - Elemis must be the only email I didn't get - no option for a free GWP for me (unless I spend over £100 post discount)

Oh no! Have you checked spam?
shipperssss · 27/11/2020 07:45

Was someone after green and gold wrapping paper? Ikeas VINTER 2020 product range is all green and golds if that is any help.

TheSilentStars · 27/11/2020 07:46

I haven't even looked what the GWP is. Just thought oh, there's my sister's present Grin unless it gets cancelled as it seems a bit too good to be true. As we know so well on these threads!

shipperssss · 27/11/2020 07:47

Also not very christmassy but can anyone suggest somewhere to look for discounted garden furniture. Ideally I am after a large modular sofa/L shaped sofa. And a dining table with 6 chairs.

Thanks.

@shipperssss I think Robert Dyas had lots of outdoor furniture in their Black Friday sale.
BigBadBox · 27/11/2020 07:57

Not very Christmassy, but does anyone know anywhere doing offers on Farrow & Ball paint?

andadietcoke · 27/11/2020 07:59

Argh! Just discovered there's an LOL Switch game, only to subsequently find the offers have been and gone!

Roombas still in stock at Aldi!

Having twin equity issues (physical size mainly). Normally do different wrapping paper and separate piles but I think this year it'll be all the same and all together to try and disguise it!

Purpleheadgirl · 27/11/2020 08:02

@marly11 the code will have been used already:(

TheSilentStars · 27/11/2020 08:05

Buckley
Everything is in the BF today.

SpamIAm · 27/11/2020 08:08

Any discounts for existing customers at very? 😬🤞

Nekoness · 27/11/2020 08:08

@ andadietcoke the LoL switch game looks like something you’d play 20 years ago on your mobile, from the youtube reviews.

I can recommend cake bash, If you want a fun game. You’re a cake and you play against bot cakes or other players. It’s incredibly cute and doughnuts punching cupcakes to get the sprinkles is violence I can tolerate in a video game. There’s a free demo download in the Nintendo e store and the game is £18

TheCrow · 27/11/2020 08:14

Pretty underwhelmed so far! Had a few specifics on my list and this is what I've found-

River Island 20% off and free del (code WONDER) but minimum spend £75 Hmm
M&S 40% off housewares but only certain items
Qwertee seem to have done the sneaky thing of increasing prices recently so their black Friday sale is pretty much the same as what their previous price was. A couple of things for £3/£4 but pretty limited choice, everything else £7

Anydreamwilldo12 · 27/11/2020 08:16

@Notlongnow1 love you childrens chat about the Roomba, it really made me smile

weebarra · 27/11/2020 08:19

St Bert's 70% off some stuff, got a sweatshirt for DD for under £10.
I think the new thread title really should be "should I be in a queue?' Made me giggle!

SomethingInTheWaySheCooks · 27/11/2020 08:19

A big thank you to the previous poster who suggested Rebel Collections on Etsy to me for ‘Dr Martens’. They have arrived today and are absolutely beautiful- so much better quality leather wise than the genuine article we looked at in store and with zips!

icedaisy · 27/11/2020 08:21

Snap @weebarra I just clicked on and thought oh no what have I missed what queue should I be in?

weebarra · 27/11/2020 08:24

Oh Something, those are gorgeous!
