Thread 20 - the one with a drowning Gary Barlow in hot chocolate

[Reastie]

Poor old Gary - he’s gone from money off his concerts to being drowned in hot chocolate 🤣. Thanks for the title @iklboo

New Pokémon game preorder (remakes - brilliant diamond/shining pearl) are on the eBay Black Friday discounts. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-SWITCH-PRE-ORDER-ITEM-Release-Date-19-11-21-/174970864978?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Finishes midnight!

Thanks so much for this. Also managed to get an XBOX Nerf Blast game for £30 which is the cheapest I've seen it

@SapereAude I'm afraid it's not a bargain (though there's 10% off for new customers) but I thought this underground brio train was exceptionally cute, particularly the way they come apart:

@Justonemorecup81

Thank you so much *@newdad19* for the barbie info, I managed to get one of the last barbie food trucks at a great price.

For those looking in Sainsbury's it's worth checking side aisles if main sections are empty

Brill so pleased that helped as there was some great prices

I’m a Spicery evangelical and their customer service is amazing too

The Works code if anyone needs a refresh! AMS 15% off 'selected orders' - my order was £16 pre code, but once applied it looks like that's on no minimum spend :)

I mighy just end up buying a few things for myself then too. Almost everything was calling me (😂) so good to know they’re good as they look!

On a side note can I just grumble about Smyths toy store. Not impressed with them at the mo, no sale, no discount codes, not even any sodding cash back. I need to spend over £200 and the things the kids have picked out can’t even be bought elsewhere 🤦🏻‍♀️

How do you add this to an order please? It’s only giving me the option to add two free samples x

Sainsbury’s Laos had big sylvanian families Josie reduced to £21, cheapest I’ve seen it is £35 on offer everywhere else, RRP £70!!
Lots of other big box toys as well, big displays around the store rather than in toy section.

Sainsbury’s also!!!! Oh for an edit button

Thank you so much for the pokemon game tip, one of the last things I have on my list apart from a bottle of mezcal? A new request from my oldest, anyone any ideas?

@Runforwine this looks like it has a flat label.
I thought it looked really long but some shorter people are saying in the reviews it is OK. It is in red and a less cheerful grey

@Justonemorecup81 did you get it for £18? I’m gearing up for a sainsburys tour tomorrow

Bargain playstation plus membership coming on Friday

I may be imagining this, but a few threads ago was there a charity investment thing recommended? Where you lined money to a little startup and when they repaid you loaded to the next one?

I seem to remember looking into it and thinking what a great idea but google is not helping me find it again!

@sycamorescrumptious I do Lendwithcare

@DillieDoily I have a £15 off £150 Argos voucher if you still need it?

Does anyone have a Matalan discount code spare?

@Essexmate love The Spicery and like pp our favourite is the curry legend book. Don’t forget to check the referral thread for a code, if you spend over £20 you get discount 10% I think.

@Scout2016 that was it!! Thank you (and well done for figuring out what I meant despite all the typos )

Cinnamon buns…. Add code BFWINS for free delivery.

Woolovers... Those who ordered the year of the crazy discounts, how did you find the quality? DHs jumpers are falling apart so I'm going to get him a couple and wondering if theirs were actually any good in the end.

@IggyAce is there a current code for the spicery?

@buzzing I bought DD a Gravitrax last year based on seeing it on here and and DH have played with it loads. She was 10 then. I got it in the Black Friday Amazon sale it was £25 reduced from £50 which seemed like an artificially inflated price as def not worth £50. I see it is £35 at the mo so it might drop

DD then spent some Christmas money on an expansion pack as really needed more of the tower blocks to make more levels.

We have got her two add ons for this year

@torthecatlady Just not CDKeys is usually only downloads, so if you want a cassette, the prices you have seen at argos and curry's is good. Game collection and Base.com are ones I usually use and they both want a lot more.

Urgh just typed out long post and lost the lot! Was staggering back to thread after awful day at work to thank @gracesquirrel and @newdad19 for helping track down Oceana di Gioia for me. Sadly the Perfume Shop seems only to have the Air di Gioia in stock atm, because that's the cheaper option... I will hesitate a little longer before taking the plunge for my DD and perhaps sniff both to see if she will be able to tell the difference!

In return, I can offer 50% off Gruum giftsets with code GIFT50. They do what I think are mainly vegan skincare/beardcare stuff - really nice smelling and sustainable packaging. Can recommend!
