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!

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

Thanks to PP who posted about the RNLI. The gin is perfect for my dad! Also picked up some socks and tea towels for ex-seafarer DH :)

Thanks @Reastie

@kinderwild I can’t see anywhere that it says you can’t use it on a child’s ticket. It says that if the value of your basket is less than £25, then you will lose the remaining amount of the voucher. Surely if it wasn’t valid it would let you check out. I have a one adult and one child ticket to Gullivers World and it let me check out my basket fine (total was £24). Just need to give confirmation paperwork and lottery ticket.

Thanks for the Smiths code! It worked in a Pokemon elite trainer set that I haven't been able to get cheaper anywhere else.

Also Raymond Briggs Christmas Collection is on there for £7 - it's £26 at John Lewis

An unusual one which I think may just be a real bargain is the Top Gear Cool 500. It's been listed twice on smiths and is £20 on one listing and £6 on the other!

It's £20-25 everywhere else and the code took 20% off that too

For the lottery thing

It says over 18 only on the t&cs but that you can use it to book a family ticket.

How do you make the hot diamonds codes stack? Only lets me use one.

@psuedocream3 thank you! So sorry to be annoying but do you have one that works on sale items x

I can’t get the hot diamonds codes to stack either Such a shame as there’s a couple of lovely necklaces on there but not without the bigger reductions - glad others managed it though!

To those who are trying to stack hot Diamonds codes - are you getting an error message? I tried it earlier to price something up and it worked, even free delivery, apart from NEW10 (it said I needed to create an account)

WHSmith OFFER
2 Codes that stack.

9516004 and HSD-YV02L5F

One is 10% off and one is 20% off. Which equates to 28% off.

I got some awesome bargains.

They sell SIGNED books so I just got the brand new Christmasaurus HARDBACK signed by Tom Fletcher as a little December 1st gift. £12.99 - 28% = £9.35
ANNUALS are included and are 2 for £10. That's £7.20 for 2. However, they also have these giftbooks that are £12.74 each in the 2 for £10 offer:

Ben Miller's 'Diary of a Christmas Elf' is due to release later this month and at £3.60 it's a bargain! www.whsmith.co.uk/products/the-diary-of-a-christmas-elf/ben-miller/hardback/9781398501836.html

Thanks for the WHSmith code! Have managed to get another few bits off my list!

Yes it says I can only use one code at a time. Am so disappointed.

Holland & Barrett has buy 1 get 1 half price on items plus the code savings for 15% over £25 or 20% over £35.
Free delivery over £25 and also different amounts of cash back on Top Cash Back depending on the amount you spend.

Must resist Hot Diamonds..... I'm off to look at WH Smith to try and be sensible 🙈

I think hot diamonds are on to us!

I can't get hot diamonds to stack either. Hopefully they'll still honour the orders done before they limited it to one code per order.

Having the same. Hot diamonds issue. They are probably onto us

Re hot diamonds, the 30% and jewels for free delivery codes will still stack, but not the others. Must be a recent change as all worked about two hours ago :(

Someone upthread was asking for deals on throw throw burrito. I'd never heard of this game but now I feel I must have it! Were any deals found? I can't find anything cheaper than £25

Whoaaah! These thread move so quick!

I'm looking for bargainous 'colour in cardboard boxes' we're mentioned many many threads ago

I know hobby craft do them but don't think they are in offer... So if anyone has a hobby craft code, and are willing to share, that would be fabulous!

Those successful with hot diamonds stacking codes; have you had email confirmation of your orders? I haven't yet and placed order around 7:45pm. I did screen grab the order completion page, which I always do when buying from a new retailer, so I know it completed but nearly 3 hours and no email has me wondering if they'll cancel my order.

Lots of typos.. Multi-tasking, hungry baby and Sunday night to-do list!

@NigelSlatersXmasTaters Thank you so much for the heads up on the Top Gear book, it's perfect for my DD1 😊

Check your junk folder. Mine had gone into there.
