Thread 13 - the one with the day of the cardboard boxes

[Reastie]

Thanks @bizzey for the title, which tickled me! The day of the triffids? Nope, it’s the day of the cardboard boxes!

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

@sorryiasked for quiet fidget toys the mood octopus is great or marble mashers, squishies or mochi ones. Tangle toys. Slinky. Reversible sequin toys.

I am so behind so please forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but TKmaxx have some klean kanteens in stores if anyone needs a stocking filler. It appears they have the small ones with a sippy lid, or the 12oz insulated ones with a sport cap, in kids designs.

Also, I bought this game yesterday in Poundland for a whole pound, which is a big saving on the amazon price. It is cheaper elsewhere but £1 beats them all. Might be rubbish though, won't find out until Christmas

@Tinysnickers

I looked at that game on Amazon, glad I didn't buy it now as I shall check Poundland for it!!
Thanks for the heads up. 😊

@nicky2512 and @thaegumathteth - so I called ASDA and as we have the Priority Pass, helpfully given to us as both DC are ECV, it isn't the same as the Delivery Pass, and therefore we don't benefit from the priority over Christmas!

I said that's really sad, as there's no way I'm taking the DC to supermarkets over the Christmas period. There was nothing I can do either - I tried signing up with another email address to buy a delivery pass myself, but it wouldn't let me. 😞

@MahMahMahMahCorona. That’s rubbish! Not surprised though. It’s bad enough that recurring slots are cancelled over Christmas.
Make sure and check when slots are released to everyone else. I think it’s 26th but not sure what time. Hopefully you will be lucky then.

Just been in Aldi and they had some great reductions- Jacqueline Wilson books 29p each (although I would recommend looking at the back as the ones I looked at were about bereavement and divorce which might be difficult subjects) and crime/thrillers and YA books at 99p. Lots of craft type stuff with good reductions and kids clothes- packs of two dresses down to £2/2.50, lovely thick jumper dresses for £1.50, packs of kids socks for 79p

Not so much a bargain and not 100% accessible depending on where you are but Cluedo are doing personalised games in some smyths toys stores. You need to book a slot though

Typical! Normally get totally spammed by Matalan with 20% off vouchers.

Now when I need to order - zilch!

Sorry if already posted. Just seen these in B&M that I though were fun.

There was a cake version & sweets version for £5. Also chocolate one but that was smaller & not as fun for £4.

Gangsta Granny 2 bargain

WH Smith are doing it pre order at £7.50 snd it comes with a free book InvestiGators by John Patrick Green (RRP £9.99), and it will be added to your order automatically

I step away for 5 minutes and you all come up with the goods!!! I’ve got to get to Poundland tomorrow, that game looks perfect for us. And that’s a WHSmith bargain, thank you!

@Christmasmcchristmasface gangsta granny 2 ordered, as well as Journal 29 which was recommended further back, for a total of £16, what a flipping bargain. Thank you!

@Rockhopper81

My Sock Shop socks have just arrived - thank you to whoever suggested them, plus whoever first shared the virtues of bamboo socks, because there feel so soft and I may be inclined to buy more and wear them exclusively...

I was one of them. I do now wear bamboo exclusively- have done for years. Even my teen DC are picky of they're not bamboo -whathaveistarted?-

This isn't a big saving by any means but Fortnum and Masons are encouraging early ordering of Christmas deliveries by offering £3.95 (instead of their usual £7.95) named day delivery, for delivery between Monday 29th November and Sunday 12th December.

I've just ordered all of our chutneys and preserves and some boxes of chocolates that we order yearly, and as they never really have any discounts it's like a lovely little treat to get £4 off of delivery.

You can get 3.2% cash back on Quidco too.

Papier have £10 off with 10DESK
Lovely notebooks etc and can personlise

I have a £5 voucher for Halfords, no minimum spend, I'd like to give first refusal to @ILoveGroot in return for the Boden voucher.

The a little something boots range is back to half price of anyone missed it the first time including the hand creams for £2. I loved mine

Thank you. I was planning on ordering a few bits as a keepsake after visiting earlier in the year for afternoon tea.

IWOOT are running a lego week with additional discounts, 2 for £26, 3 for £20.
Haven't compared prices but may be worth a look.
Usually a discount code about too although may not work on discounted stuff.

There are 3 x mini sets of duplo included in the IWOOT 3 for £20 offer above for those looking

@Daisy829 how much is the personalised Cluedo? I can't seem to find that out on the website!!
