@jumpingintosummer thanks for the inspiration for the thread title, I’m now singing ‘return of the buns’ to the tune of ‘return of the Mac’

Thought I’d do a ‘how to’ for a couple of things people often post about not being sure of

To do click links you do this put link in here then a space then the name or phrase you want to go with the link . Don’t put a space between the start of the link or the last word next to the like I have or it won’t work but I had to to demonstrate.

If you’re posting anything specifically for me please do @ me or I may not spot it. It’s helpful if when sharing bargain info you bold it to make it easy for people to differentiate between chat and bargain links.

To follow the thread without using up a post to mark place you can click on ‘watch this thread’ at the top of the first post.

No affiliate links please.

Referral thread here to use for if you’re posting your personal referral link to others.

Second message has a few links and info which I’ll slowly build up, let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to add to it Thanks

Hey @Shimmerandsparkles no need to ask. Everyone's welcome here. . . . . Well, everyone who loves Christmas and bargains!

Shimmerandsparkles · 22/08/2021 13:47

Thank you Wisest! I bought my first gift yesterday. A top my husband had mentioned he liked, was £25 but managed to get for £12.

Typo have some mystery boxes at the moment, and as they're classed as full price items even though the value exceeds the price by a fair bit, can use discount codes on them. I got some back in March I think it was and was pleasantly surprised by the contents.

@Shimmerandsparkles

triplechoc · 22/08/2021 14:34

@sueelleker I may or may not have chosen it so I can remain just in the Christmas forum Grin

Thisisbatshit · 22/08/2021 14:50

Thank you all for the skateboarding advice! I'll have a wee browse. DD is usually pretty nervous so I imagine after one fall she will reject it, but I'm always up for toys that get them out and about so it's worth a shot.

lgina · 22/08/2021 15:00

Chuffed with the urban decay deal in boots, have ordered a few for people and will be giving my mum a heads up for the great bargain :) thanks!

[quote Someaddedsugar]@TakeMeToYourLiar have you tried searching for some royalty free images on Unsplash that you could send to somewhere to get printed? Or print at home on photo paper? Unsplash is a site full of photography and it's free.

Or alternatively if it was illustrations a site like iStock or similar would have some that you could pay a nominal fee for? I'm sure it's about £24 for 3 credits. [/quote]
I hadn't thought of that at all, great idea thanks

Sorry, I’ve seen it discussed multiple times but I can’t quite pin down….what exactly is the paddy and Scott’s deal?

Coffee Box there's usually a code too so it comes down to about £20 for a nice boxed coffee gift ☕️
MissMarple0203 · 22/08/2021 16:05

Someone asked about Bluey toys, I seen some in Tesco's today. ( It won't let me upload the pic I took)

RainbowPhilosophy · 22/08/2021 16:06

If anyone is buying clothes or accessories for younger children or funky adults, this site has up to 60% off lots of organic stuff: natureskids.co.uk/

I think it ends at midnight though so get in quick!

Adelais · 22/08/2021 16:20

Just in case anyone elses dd has asked for a dream seeker doll, they are reduced to £14.99 on Amazon today which seems to be the cheapest I've seen them so far.

I know someone asked about Harry Potter things, not sure if it's already been mentioned but the works had quite a few bits in today

daisyboo1 · 22/08/2021 16:46

Does anyone know if the coffee packs in the starter pack from Paddy and Scott's are whole bean or ground packs?

FoolShapeHeart · 22/08/2021 16:54

I've not had one myself but it says freshly ground in the link description.
Scout2016 · 22/08/2021 16:59

My Paddy and Scotts look to he ground and the dates are Oct 2022 if that helps.

Someone posted a link to Japanese snacks their teen son liked (I think). But I can't find it. Does anyone know pleadr? Especially looking for weird flavoured kit kats if anyone knows any good deals.

I think this was it

Just brought this fleece star glow in the dark blanket for £5 from the argos clearance. Thought my youngest will appreciate snuggling in it as the nights draw in. Also available in pink.

Thanks @Scout2016 and @FoolShapeHeart

whatwillicallmyself · 22/08/2021 17:27

Hi Everyone nice to be back, I must go back to thread one to see what I have missed. @jrek I would also appreciate an ROI thread too.

shipperssss · 22/08/2021 17:40

I'm sorry for asking but I have searched to no avail, what was the urban decay offer? Thanks

Scout2016 · 22/08/2021 17:41

Thanks Jolly. They have lots of questionable blackouts, go fit the bill! I might take a punt at their membership scheme for £1 to see what the lower offers are for members.
