Thread 8 - the one with the giraffe toilet roll holder that

[Reastie]

@AnotherOne4, thank you for introducing us to something that sounded so wrong in the thread title. Also loved the review you shared:
‘ Not only is it decorative, but also quite heavy. If you had intruders you could take them down with this also. Multipurpose’

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.

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

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.

Some top tips from thelegohooverer:

My tips are:
check out companies on trustpilot before ordering
be wary of companies that only have email/contact firms for customer services and no phone numbers or addresses (unless of course you enjoy meaningless replies from bots)
keep a list of what you’ve ordered so you can follow up if something doesn’t arrive. Sometimes it’s a numbers game where they’re betting on people not following up on missing orders.
check where things are shipped from, particularly if you need them quickly. I’ve got caught out waiting for the slow boat from China when I thought I was ordering locally.
I’ve started using Revolut to avoid putting in my main bank details (and it helps me budget)

Aliexpress have lots of stuff very cheap, order early as it’s all delivered from China here . Be aware some items are a bit knock off in quality and safety, check reviews and be aware. Clothes can come up v small and take the photos with a pinch of salt as a guide for what you will get.

Amazon free delivery tool here

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

Lisa angel sale is popular when on, apparently arrive nicely packaged too here

Magazine subscription offers here and here

Netpricedirect has discount toys and party bits here

Toys for a pound here

Thanks Reastie

@thegirlhasnoname thanks for the tip about Candles Direct! Not only do they have loads of candles on sale, lots of them 30% off, but you can also save an extra 10% with welcome10. Did post in the last thread, but thought I better post here just in case.

Hahaha I made the thread title For anyone who wants a Giraffe Toilet Roll Holder. They've jumped back up to £10.00 (were £8.00) still great value though

Big thanks to @sorryiasked for the Totes tip on the previous thread. Purchased some of those socks and manicure sets - bargain!

badgerface could you please tell me what elemis moisturiser it was? Thank you!

Checking in, thanks Reastie

HYPE50 still working at everything at hype including sale! Thank you whoever posted about it I saves £45

Just ordered this Schleich farm animal set from amazon for £12.99, you get four animals included so it's a pretty good price here .

Has anyone seen any good deals on bigjigs or brio train sets? I'm also still waiting to see if the £65 toy kitchen on asda will go on sale.

Does anyone know if QVC are likely to do the Hotel Chocolat TSV on the gift sets of selector packs before Christmas again? I've bought them the last 3 years and they always go down really well with the recipients.

Thank you

Just delurking to check in

Our local McColls has multipack sheets of Christmas gift wrap on sale for 10p (the folded kind) and tags for 15p.

itsonlysubterfuge I wish I had thought to get the extra 10% off! Mine have been dispatched already (ordered this morning) so I’m quite impressed to say I only heard of the company earlier this week 🙂

What was the Elemis thing? I can't find it!

Keep an eye on the Shopping TV forum and the QVC page. It’s great for advance notice of what’s coming. There are loads of adverts which is annoying but some good stuff coming into November.

Does dr Botanicals usually have a sale/code nearer Christmas does anyone know? I’m sure a few years ago I stocked up for presents

Has anyone seen any nice wrapping paper that has a green background suitable for a child?

I was just looking at clothes in tesco and a lady working there told me to come back tomorrow as there will be 25% off.

If anyone else has a child that's a fan of cut the rope/ om noms I found these blind bags for 10p in home bargains.

20% off everything at ASOS with code SPEEDY20 until tomorrow morning

Thanks @woodwaj I'll be heading there tomorrow

Kids go kart in Aldi for £49.99 go kart
