Thread 2 - the one with a bath humbug.

[Reastie]

Ho ho ho and welcome to the bargain Christmas thread - home of the discounts for Christmas shopping.

Great bath bombs from Primark for £1 each. I was looking at Bomb Cosmetics earlier, but can make my own bath bomb hamper instead now 🛀

I buy these all the time and make hampers for my daughter. They have so many colours and designs it always looks really good

Thanks @kiwi17 for the Homebase seed post. Coriander is currently rarer than hens teeth . So I’ve bought some seeds to grow my own, bought some more and some £1 plant pots for the MIL’s Christmas too.

That's fantastic, thanks for pointing that site out - I got 2 Joules dresses for £3.18 plus P&P!

Does anyone have any suggestions for an anime/manga mad teen girl, she loves New Game! and Spy X Family. Besides the dvds or books /i cant find anything but she would love some merch if anyone has any ideas?

@psuedocream3 lots of Spy X Family stuff on aliexpress.

@psuedocream3 I'd definitely recommend a Crunchyroll subscription if she doesn't already have one, I think it's £60 for the year.
For merch, Aliexpress is your best bet. They'll have literally everything, keychains, tote bags, figures, washi tape & clothes!

@AlabamaWorley22 thanks for the TopCashback tip, I've ordered a £5 Costa giftcard for myself. Merry Christmas 🤣

Glad to hear it @CakeCrumbs44 . Now you just need to plan a solo Costa session with a good book and go wild on cake and coffee. Happy days!

Only one week of the summer holidays left and I think I've earned some alone time!

For any jigsaw mad children like my DD, Amazon have this two pack of 100 piece puzzles reduced to £12.85. They are a bit different and have positive reviews. There is also a two map set for £9.99 but the map and space one will suit my daughter better

Thanks for the giftcard reminder, £5 cafe nero giftcard bought.

Why is coriander rarer than hens teeth at the minute? I hadn't noticed. We grow our own and probably far too much than we can consume, so I will save the seed from the ones that have gone over.

seem to remember lots keen on the neon diffuser thing - Look Fantastic have the pod and oil for £76.50 with another 10% with FLASH10 - so just over £70

Who remembers the 1kg of Dairy Milk bargain for last year? I resisted it for ages before finally buying it and it was the DC's favourite present. They just couldn't believe they had that much chocolate. If anyone sees similar this year, please let me know!

It would probably be mine too!

From memory, it was £5.90 I think. I got one, and it was never ending. Just looked on Amazon and they are selling an 850g bar for £10. I've set a CCC to see if it drops in price, but I'm reckoning like everything this year, even if the price goes down then the weight will too.

Not quite so big (and may be store specific) but my local Sainsbury's were selling the football/Premier League 360g bars of Dairy Milk for 50p earlier today. They had Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal available. Best before dates good until end May 2023.

This should be 20% off on Matalan online

My niece is into all that, bought her a necklace of her name in Japanese and she hasn't taken it off since

Amazon have an extra 20% off the warehouse today.

Have just bought DS a new (well A class 2nd hand in original packaging) tablet to replace his dying Amazon Fire.
It came in at £70 when I was looking at the same thing for £130 at CEX

This was my husband’s favourite present last Christmas! Only topped this year when I recently bought him 50 Freddos for his 50th birthday…

@spiderontheceiling oooh almost hoping for a similar deal this year. Not gunna lie I just bought it for myself and slowly munched away at it throughout December.

I am tracking the price of this chocolate advent bar as I love the thought of driving my husband mad by him only being able to eat one piece per day for December…
