Thread 2 - the one with the return of the buns

[Reastie]

@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

[quote Maharajah20]Urban Decay palettes on offer at Boots. Half price plus extra 30% off with code VILLAFAVES

@shipperssss

seconding @Scout2016's plea for somewhere selling weird flavour KitKats....I'm particularly keen to get a cauliflower one for DD!

These giant gummy snakes/frogs were only £1 each in B&M www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164936791620?hash=item2666ffb644:g:nb0AAOSwxbBg3DYO

@ClosedAuraOpenMind @Scout2016 Japan Centre always has interesting flavour KitKats, like salted lemon or green tea off the top of my head,

(I could be wrong as I've not checked every item but) I think this is the full list of boots items that work with the discount 'VILLAFAVES', it's quite a lot more than just the urban decay bits :)

@ClosedAuraOpenMind @Scout2016

Or a selection form Amazon

Oh @Fubbs don't tell me that now I'm going to have to blitz my debit card to make up for lost time
Thank you though, it's great to know, especially for Lego!

@ShoppingBasket I’m also ROI and haven’t had any extra charges ordering from Amazon UK. Saying that, I haven’t actually ordered anything particularly expensive. As far as I can gather there shouldn’t be customs duty on orders under €150. This site is helpful.

I’m lucky as my lovely SIL in the UK is visiting in October and is happy for me to order some bits for delivery to her which she’ll bring. Lots of these bargains are less so without the free postage unfortunately ☹️.

Could someone who's bought the reindeer serviette holders please show me a photo of what I've missed? Also if you have the link I'd be grateful. Thank you.

Oh I like that Kitkat idea for splitting in to teen stockings. Anyone here really, really want to find the deal of the year? I’ve been here for donkeys years and never won (not competitive really)

[quote Adelais]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.

Thank you for this

Quite limited stock but I thought this was a good price. Argos do have some good deals in their clearance on toys but stock isn’t great and it’s tricky to see what is available, I’ve just added loads of things to my basket and only about 3 things were available, got some good bargains though.

@TakeMeToYourLiar if you can share an idea of what you'd like I'd be happy to source and re-size from Unsplash - I do this kind of thing regularly so wouldn't take too long - I could also recommend a few places to get them printed too?

That's so kind of you.

In my head I have something like this, but three separate photos

@TakeMeToYourLiar fab! I'll have a hunt around tomorrow

@WhatsMyNameGonnaBeNow @Fubbs @ShoppingBasket @Carrie76

I’ve found Amazon ok when they’ll deliver but almost everything lately has been “this item cannot be shipped to your chosen location” and weirdly I’ve been getting that on Amazon.fr and .de as well

I was gutted not to be able to get the velvetiser deal

Has anyone ever bought from www.mysantasack.co.uk ? They have an early bird offer with 50% off at them moment

Boots no. 7 mascara down to £5 in the clearance. Buy 4 and use code NO7SAVE10 and it knocks £10 off, so 4 mascaras for £2.50 each. Currently free delivery to store. Offer code can be used against various things (it's a labyrinth) can't be used on top of the love island deal though

Oh and if you buy two no7 mascaras above you get a free eye and face pallete worth £25! So £10 for £35+ worth of stuff

Gillette have got a clearance and there is a lovely travel kit half price for £6.67 and a few razor/gel sets also a beard kit all reduced. Free delivery if you sign up to their newsletter and the code NEW15 might stack if you're a new customer.

Sorry, my mistake the travel kit was £10 so a third off not half price - still a good stocking filler for teens/men though.

I've just put through two separate boots orders on the deal above, one for four mascaras. Another for some eye shadows and face masks. Both come in at £10 and £11 each and I've saved £81 when I get the two face palettes free

Thank you for this!

Thank you for this thread. I have ordered the Where’s mickey for my 3 year old and will get her one of the play doh sets.

Missed the cocktail shaker which would have been for DH but contemplating the honey gin hamper instead!

@igina pleasure I've put two orders in in the hope I get two palettes. That what each niece gets a palette and a some mascara and it's cost me £2.50 per person. The other bits I can spread out elsewhere.
