Thanks for the last thread @MissCherryCakeyBun and thread title @OneMorePieceOfCheese and @room4onemore

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

Thanks @Reastie.

Code sheerluxe20 gets 20% off everything today at cartilage cartel. I've had lovely earrings from there.

Looking forward to the new thread. Thanks!

Wowsers, I'm sure we're moving quicker this year!!

I'm looking for a bargain on UGG womens slippers if anyone can help please

Just sit my butt down here...

Just noted a mention of the Dualit milk frother on last thread. We had one. It was pretty pants. Didn't give us that "ooooh this is nice" that you get from a barista hot chocolate. Just made tepid milk, with a foam head that was essentially a nuisance on top.

Thanks again @Reastie the threads are moving quickly. Do you think we are going to beat last year’s total.

Thanks for the replies about the faulty Bank Attack. Amazon have dispatched a new one and a Hermes person will be round to collect the faulty one. Hope the next one works fine, the kids loved it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks to the poster who said Lush are sold on ASOS, going to watch for codes now.

I remember there being chat on salt lamps, did someone recommend where to get one?

Thanks @Reastie

Thanks for the new thread!

Was there a deal for the Lego Gauntlet a few threads ago please? DH has just requested it for Xmas and I vaguely remember reading something but can’t seem to find it. Thanks!

I couldn’t get DS’s student discount to work on Lush from ASOS.

@GirlWithTheYellowHat be aware these need to be well out the way of pets, my cousin is a vet and has had quite a few cats and dogs who have had salt poisoning from licking them animals love salty things and just keep on until they get taken away from them. I've seen a few salt lamps on Amazon, you can also get them as tea light holders if that's more your thing.
