@captainjacksparrow

Hi all,

Delurking to say thanks for all the bargains so far.

Re squishmallows, a pp was looking for a bunny one, there are loads on vinted. No idea if a bargain or not as all different prices.

Also, ds is 9 and space mad. Do I need the space squishmallows or is he too old? If so what is a good price? I’m nowhere near an Aldi so will have to buy online....Smile

@captainjacksparrow My dd1 is 13 this year and has requested them. And dd2 is 9 and adores her one. Perfect for leaning against, cuddling on the sofa. In Aldi they were £7.99. I have got a spare astronaut one I picked up incase anyone here wanted one. If you wanted it I could post to you for the aldi cost and postage. Send me a PM if you do, but I won't see it until later as heading to work soon and can't check my phone till I'm out about 4. 😁

Another thanks to @FancyNan - just discovered that they had Bluey PJs for DS who is a fan 😁 Unfortunately they only show in the "girls" section even though they are completely neutral 🙄 which is annoying - good job I looked!

ItsAllBlahBlahBlah · 05/11/2021 07:23

Does anyone know of a wya to get discount at george asda? Need to order some pj's and socks etc ans I hate paying full price. Worried if I leave it to long they will go out of stock or we freeze

ItsAllBlahBlahBlah · 05/11/2021 07:24

Sorry I forgot to say please 😅

Please does anyone know how to get a discount at george asda 🙏

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts
That would be amazing thank you! Will send a PM now (I need to remember how Grin )

psuedocream3 · 05/11/2021 07:29

@sorryiasked Hope it helped. I have the extreme version in my basket, I am wondering if it would be a good idea or a bad one, but might be a fun way to get everyone outside on Christmas day. I also seem to be heammoraghing money with all these great deals, not sure if I am looking for an excuse to throw a burrito at my kids Grin

@oatmilkisntsobad You are very welcome Smile

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 05/11/2021 07:29

Awesome @captainjacksparrow. I have no idea how to do it either but I know it must be possible as I've recieved them before 😆

On the note of squishmallows Aldi have confirmed there will be Christmas ones too this year. An angel, Christmas tree, deer, gonk, Mrs claus and santa. On sale from 18th November apparently. Saw it in a Facebook group im on.

IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 05/11/2021 07:32

These Christmas bath toys from Dunelm could be good advent fillers for those with younger kids - 10 in a set for £5

@psuedocream3

Sorry I can't remember who wanted throw throw burrito but it's now £14.99 on Amazon. I really wanted to buy it for my kids but I know something will get broken with a throwing game Hmm

Also have game of cat and mouth, exploding kittens and exploding minions reduced, I know someone was looking for the cat and mouth game.

Clicky Link

Thanks @psuedocream3 for my new discovery! I clicked through to have a look at cat & mouth, as we all love exploding kittens and my interest was piqued. Unfortunately it's not quite right as it's a 2 player, but I did spot poetry for neanderthals instead (from the same company) also on offer - I didn't know it existed, and looks like it would be perfect to play with 5 and 7yo DCs. I've ordered it and am looking forward to smashing DH over the head with the inflatable club when he inevitably gets it wrong

We don't have the burrito game for the same reason as you. I'm glad we're not the only kill joys on this 😬

psuedocream3 · 05/11/2021 07:37

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts Oh thank you! I have been stuck for ideas for our littlest psuedos (almost 3m at Christmas)... bath toys are an excellent idea! And our toddler loves bath ducks so I'm going to order some of those for hers too. Great find!

MydeamonsanOstrich · 05/11/2021 07:40

Thanks @SkankingMopoke for the bead shop that game of cat and mouth was reduced. Just ordered it.

captainjacksparrow · 05/11/2021 07:40

@IveGotALovelyBunchOfCoconuts

They are lovely. Dd will be 18 months and these are perfect!

She’s just started playing with the infamous hand puppets from last year Grin

captainjacksparrow · 05/11/2021 07:42

@nocutsnobuttsnococonuts

I’ve sent a PM, hopefully to you if not there will be a very puzzled Mumsnetter this morning!

@Picklesbaby

Anyone whose ordered second hand books am I better off on world of books or music magpie ? Ds is obsessed with baby Jake but the only books I can find are used Also have stayed away the doll as it is terrifying and looks nothing like him 😶
@Picklesbaby it's worth keeping an eye on Vinted. I've seen some baby Jake stuff on there recently.

Finally managed to get my hands on the Dunelm Santa hoodie yesterday! another thing I did not NEED

Avoca76 · 05/11/2021 07:58

I think it might only be on for a few more hours but there is 20% off these cute rabbit mugs and tea towels. My sister is collecting them and they have lots of cute designs.

Sleepdeprivedzombie · 05/11/2021 08:14

Echo dot £24.99 on Amazon. Down from £39.99

SewVeryLazy · 05/11/2021 08:18

Anyone know the best current deal on a box of normal Lego? A couple of years ago Asda had a super bargain on a big box and now I begrudge paying too much

mummyof2boys30 · 05/11/2021 08:20

Any recommendations for something barbie for a 6 year old. Only suggestion her mum has given me. I only have boys so not clued up on the barbie front 🙈
