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.

Should have said it works out at roughly £217

TheJohnLewisIntern · 22/11/2021 19:09

[quote Minionbums]@TheJohnLewisIntern I’d have got it delivered so they couldn’t notice the discount! I bet the staff spotted it and that’s why they refused to hand it over.[/quote]
Yes, retrospectively I should have done! Never mind! Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Anyone liking all things mystical WITCHY have their gorgeous tarot candles containing crystals reduced from £36 to £20 using code VIPsale

AnimalTheDrummer · 22/11/2021 19:14

Does anyone have a recommendation for a drone please? I was hoping to spend around £50 but the reviews for that price range are poor so I guess I could go up to £100.

@psuedocream3, someone posted about a lovely looking set of baby girl clothes yesterday from Asda but when I went on the site there were a fair few other items in the sale and I purchased some baby boy/ unisex clothes for 2 December babies that we have been told are boys - but time will tell on that !

Namechangesagain · 22/11/2021 19:25

@psuedocream3 youknowwhos website had loads of gorgeous baby clothes when i was looking earlier

Hi,
Does anyone have a code for Brew Tea company and a recommendation for discounted books/whsmiths code if anyone can help me please?

Helssjbells · 22/11/2021 19:31

Hello! Can anyone recommend where to get a 6ft snow effect Christmas tree from? Some of them seem extortionate.
A discount code would be a bonus - well it would pay for the fairy at the top of the tree!

Tailrunner · 22/11/2021 19:35

Hi, thanks for all the bargains so far. Can anyone recommend a cheap smart watch. DD(12) has started making envious eyes at her friend’s Apple Watch. She definitely isn’t getting anything that pricey as she already has some bits but I could stretch to £40/50 for something easy to use, reliable and impressive enough for a 12 year old. She has an old iPhone if that makes a difference for connecting.

@Doomscrolling

Thank you, *@AnnPerkins! Your Debenhams code SAV3T3NNOV and the £1 delivery code I saw on the site BLACKFRIYAY* Saved me about 15 quid. Very kind of you!
These also stack with a blue light code. Got a lovely coat down from the original £100 to 38. Need to stop shopping for myself 🙊

@Helssjbells No idea of your budget but my mum loves her M&S one

this is the 6ft version

@RainbowZebraWarrior

I'm pissed off. I've been in Aldi 7 times since Thursday and still no squishmallow.

And according to my Sparks, I've got Gary bloody Barlow haunting me for another 25 days!

I want nice offers!

Anyone know best deal for set of extra Nintendo joycons?

@RainbowZebraWarrior, the Aldi I tried last Thursday still don’t have them in but I tried another one yesterday on the off chance and they had them, so it looks to be a bit random

I'm actually finished with Christmas shopping now but can't bring myself to leave the threads! I'm going to hang about for a bit if that's ok. I like the chat and am happy to contribute any bargains I see. 🥰🎅⛄

The Fitbit Versa is a similar size and shape to the Apple Watch
Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 22/11/2021 19:59

I lovey fitbit versa. Just don't wear it swimming, it is supposed to be waterproof but kept glitching after being wet and eventually died. Fitbit sent me a new one and it's never going in the pool.

Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 22/11/2021 19:59

Love my versa not lovey versa!

BlackandJello · 22/11/2021 19:59

There are plenty of squishmallows in my local Aldi. I bought DD the tree and deer to add to her ridiculous collection.

imnottoofussed · 22/11/2021 20:01

The JL deletion message said something about a bun fight I think and not being in the spirit of the site Confused

A lot of my order got delivered this evening. Still some items due which two are arriving tomorrow but more may get sent this evening.

It's all very bizarre.

Ive sent you a referral code by pm

Jaques of London have some fabulous Black Friday daily deals. I imagine they will change each day but I bought 3 clocks and a stacker for grandchildren because they were irresistible. If you sign up to the news letter it gives you an extra 15% off which takes care of the delivery charge. They are all still full price on Amazon.

I got my DD a Xiaomi one from Amazon for about €23 and it was one of her most favourite and most used presents. The band has now snapped but she's used it every day for 2 years so I think it's paid for itself tbf!
Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting · 22/11/2021 20:06

Yeah I'll probably end up twitching! Grin I'm not ready to leave just yet. Ho ho ho

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 22/11/2021 20:06

@RainbowZebraWarrior I am with you re squishmallows in Aldi. Seen plenty of posts about them being in some stores but non local to me and non local to my Dad who is also looking for me. Think I am destined not to get one of the Christmas ones (it's only for me, it won't ruin Christmas Smile )
