Thanks @raindropsonrosesand for the title

I just accidentally set up the thread in the wrong talk board 🤦🏻‍♀️!

Think this will be the thread with Christmas Day on it. I hope all of you have wonderful christmases (well, as wonderful as possible atm) and everyone enjoys all the bargains and you’ve saved money. We’ve been quite careful this year and I’ve definitely saved even more money than usual!

Keep an eye on the sales, I’m assuming the actual shops, given many are closed in the SE atm, will have pretty mega discounts to shift stock once they’re reopened.

You’ve all kept me sane in a slightly insane world this year, here’s to next year Brew Wine Thanks

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.

Marks and Spencers gifts always used to go down to half price a few days before xmas, has anyone noticed if they've gone down?

MysweetAudrina · 24/12/2020 08:38

Neom have up to 50% off some of their best selling products. I didn't just spend £70 there a minute ago.

If anyone is looking for an advent calendar this hatchimals one is reduced to £5. Good value at that price not worth the full money, my dd got it half way through the month and has enjoyed it. Shes 8! www.thetoyshop.com/collectibles/collectible-playsets/Hatchimals-CollEGGtibles-%E2%80%94-Advent-Calendar-%28Styles-Vary%29/p/550717

Very Merry Christmas everyone Xmas Smile. Thank you for all the bargains, but even more for the good cheer and camaraderie in difficult times.

Thisyearis2020 · 24/12/2020 13:02

@PinkDaydreams, M&S sent me an email to say their sale has started.

There might be some gifts in there.

(I won’t shop there until they go back to having single-sex changing rooms.)

MsMiaWallace · 24/12/2020 13:32

Thank you so much for this thread this year. It's helped me through my maternity leave.
Merry Christmas everyone xx

Lots of bodum stuff in Lidl. I picked up the Assam tea press for £10 but they had a bodum milk frother cafetière type thing, another cafetière and a few smaller bodum bits, along with their own brand electric milk frother.

WisestIsShe · 24/12/2020 13:33

@thisyearis2020 I totally agree about m&s but I read on the fwr board that they had reversed their policy. here

@WisestIsShe - I also read that, then apparently they announced that they hadn't backtracked & it's still a free for all.

Notlongnow1 · 24/12/2020 15:59

Thank you thank you thank you @twnkltwnkllittlestarfighter!

Your Ender Dragon has arrived in time to save Santa's reputation! I am so grateful for the gesture which sums up perfectly the amazing camaraderie of this beautiful group of strangers ❤

littlestpogo · 24/12/2020 16:15

I also just wanted to pop on and say thanks so much to everyone on this thread this year!

Aside from the bargains it’s been a lovely, warm positive place to dip into. It’s made such a difficult period that bit easier.

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas

@PinkDaydreams there was 30% of gifts today in store and 40% off decorations. Not much by way of stock though.

Thankyou! I was going to buy father's Day presents Blush

Theonlyoneiknow · 24/12/2020 16:36

Is it wrong to be upset that a present ordered for DD on the 10th December hasn't made it. I feel so guilty for being sad about that in the grand scheme of what's going on. And now I don't want to chase the company as feel guilty about that too! It was definitely shipped as got a despatch email.

I think I need to focus now on baking DS's birthday cake for tomorrow!

Thanks for all the wonderful joy from this thread everyone and merry christmas when it comes!

Thisyearis2020 · 24/12/2020 16:54

@WisestIsShe, I rejoiced quietly when I read that M&S had reversed its policy.

That was until I read further down that thread that they hadn’t, as @greyanddecaying says.

PostPopper · 24/12/2020 17:17

Are your M&S changing rooms open though? In Scotland north changing rooms have been open in any shops since March!!

PostPopper · 24/12/2020 17:53
  • no changing rooms

Going to miss this bargain hunting thread...it's been a lovely distraction from real life. Thanks everyone and happy Christmas 🎄

PinkDaydreams · 24/12/2020 19:08

Boots sale!

Rockhopper81 · 24/12/2020 19:58

Thanks for all the bargains over the threads - did the beautiful puzzle so many of us bought this afternoon, was a lovely few hours (and for anyone who hasn't assembled it yet, it's absolutely lovely!).

Merry Christmas to all! 🎅🏻🎄
