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

[quote Cluckycluck]@SaltyAF I had the same problem yesterday but eventually got it to work. I had to remove the items from my basket, clear cache and start again. It then worked fine. If using a BLC you need to add it after the 30LWQ2 for it to work[/quote]
Thank you!
I've got it to £65 now for the box of reds on the BF deal. Is that as low as I can go? Grin

TheLastStarfighter · 29/11/2020 16:56

@Borris what’s your budget? this 1.1 m stag looks pretty good for £80, but not sure if that’s too much. It’s a lot cheaper than others in that size.

Ilisten2thesoundofdrums · 29/11/2020 16:59

I have an account with naked wines and they are offering £80 off a £110 spend and in the interests of disclosure I also get £10 but I have to do it on my account and you get an email. If anyone wanted to try this, then send me a message and I will try to see if it works.
I don't know how it compares with laithwaites but we have been happy with the wine we have had.

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 29/11/2020 17:04

I spotted this jumper in Asda yesterday and I want it for me Blush but it's a kids one!
Has anyone spotted anything similar? A stealth Christmas jumper 😂

@TheRealMrsJamieFraser As few of these Sainsbury’s jumpers are quite subtle but many are out of stock online. I always find they have more stock in the shop.

anonopotomus brilliant tip on H&M / amazon. Thank you!

Borris · 29/11/2020 17:40

@TheLastStarfighter that stag is perfect. I’ve bought him 🙂

InDreamland · 29/11/2020 17:58

If the Laithwaites code isn't working, you may be interested in this wine offer instead British Airways wine flyer in conjunction with Laithwaites you pay £65 delivered for 12 bottles and 4 wine tumblers. You also get 1000 Avios points. If you don't have a BA executive club account it's easy and free to open one up.

Sunshineskies · 29/11/2020 18:13

@TheRealMrsJamieFraser I’ve had junkers from Tesco like that in the past couple of years. Last year there wasn’t any in the ladies section but I got a lovely one from the men’s Xmas Grin.

Sunshineskies · 29/11/2020 18:15

Oops *jumpers even.
Also, thank you so much for the nip + fab info Flowers. I’ve had a crazy day, just sat down so will go and fill my basket with some bargains now!

JaneyJimplin · 29/11/2020 18:17

Ugh my Molton brown voucher also didn't work and they have debited my bank account by £10.45 for the remainder of the balance Angry

I've contacted the subscription people.

Really annoying.

I bought it for me in the women's section so they do do it! Its lovely.
Thehollyandtheirony · 29/11/2020 18:34

@HarkTheHeraldAngelsSing do they have to be recycled cashmere? If not, there is a good Black Friday sale on Johnston’s of Elgin. Only red cashmere wrist warmers left but still lots of colours in gloves. A great deal for £25 with free delivery.

HollyGennero · 29/11/2020 18:37

@TheLastStarfighter Thank you for the Apple Watch 6 tip off, I’ll cross my fingers for a discount tomorrow from Apple and if not check out Very Flowers

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 29/11/2020 18:38

@bagginses ooh really? I spotted it on a hanger but it was hanging with other non Xmas stuff and when I looked online this morning it only shows in kids sizes so thought I'd just been dozy in the store. Will try again this week just in case - even through it's 1.5hrs away 😂

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/11/2020 18:38

I've spotted some on offer David Walliams-related thongs and a Harry Potter advent calendar £18 from £60, on the Scottish National Trust website.

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 29/11/2020 18:38

@bagginses sorry - should have said thank you - it is lovely!

weebarra · 29/11/2020 18:39

Walliams related thongs??

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/11/2020 18:39

Ahem, that would be David Walliams things, pencil cases and water bottles etc. It's safe to look at!

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 29/11/2020 18:39

Thanks @NaturalBlondeYeahRight and @Sunshineskies will take a look there too. I'm quite curvy so the thought of a Christmas jumper horrifies me but it's all in a good cause 😂

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 29/11/2020 18:40

You can also get a free highland cow toy if you spend over £20.

dancemom · 29/11/2020 18:44

David Walliams thongs 😆

@Reastie the thread is filling up ...

Reastie · 29/11/2020 18:52

I can’t believe it’s getting filled up when the shops haven’t even opened yet 🙈. That’ll be Black Friday!
