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.

@Haudyourwheesht yeah I think codes for smyths are few and far between but to be fair the items my daughter wants aren't cheaper anywhere else & some of the items are on offer at smyths

I had an email from Bargainmax yesterday, saying there's an extra 25% off loads of toys. I didn't go on to see what, but could be worth a look?

My DD loves it too. I'm not so sure it's a bar again but George, Asda are selling some figures for it.

Thank you for this, there are some lovely bits. Do you know if there’s a way to get free delivery too? Mine said free (one item) but then stung me at the end. There must be a minimum spend surely?

How did you get free delivery?

I got free delivery on the jewellery site automatically, I did spend £80 though 😳

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile I ordered from the OPBC on 20th, had a tracking code added yesterday and it arrived just now by DPD.

That may be why. I was only going to buy my daughter a little necklace as a stocking filler.

really hate spending £4 on postage when it’s only £10!

Ive never heard of latelita jewellery. Feels like I've been missing out. Some beautiful bits on there.

Christmas chocolate tubs (celebrations/ heroes/roses/quality st) are £4 in Asda but if you have their new rewards app you get £1 back in your ‘cash pot’ so works out at £3 each.
Cheapest I’ve seen elsewhere is Tesco 2 for £7 so £3.50 each.

Loads of fairy doors, garden stuff etc in the Olive & Sage sale - they have a few discount offers but have stated you can only use one per order. The codes I have are:

15% off everything in stock with HOT15
25% off sale items with EXTRA25

The little radios were a failure. I was told they were only dispatching one and the other was on back order. I needed a guarantee that I'd get both, so cancelled. Ah well, it was a good idea!

Half price stockings from Pottery Barn Kids UK:

The usual warning about reading descriptions carefully. The jewellery on Latelita which is described as gold in the main heading is actually sterling silver “dipped” in gold, at least all the items I checked were. A bracelet described as silver is stainless steel with rhodium plating.

Still good prices for what they are.

Does anyone know any good tips for discount on Vans online? It has to be the actual company. I signed up for the newsletter ages ago but there's only ever publicity, no codes.

Agree with reading the description carefully but they do both solid gold and dipped so just check what you’re buying.

I only spent £30 and I got free delivery but actually the free delivery was showing when I had two items for £20 in my basket.

Just browsed the rest of the Pottery Barn website after looking at the reduced stockings... Yikes, beautiful stuff but definitely out of my price range!

I just added the pottery barn stockings to my basket. I estimated shipping……..£12 for postage!

@EverydayIsPJday that's really helpful thanks. I'm a day behind you then so hopefully will hear something soon, I must learn patience!!

Hi all, not really Christmas related but I need your bargain hunting skills. My dd has been invited to her first birthday party from nursery and I need to order presents for twin girls turning 4 I believe. Anyone seen any bargains which would be suitable?

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile i got a shipped email on the day I made the order but then got another shipped email today- so hopefully something will arrive soon!

@Travelplans why don’t you look at the orchard toys games in aldi? Believe there around £3 each. They make a nice little gift

I’m an unpaid volunteer and have just had a link to the following from my local council (so I’m happy it’s legit!). For anyone who works or volunteers for a charity a free discount card for a range of retailers. I confess I haven’t yet done a deep dive into the t&c.

@IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile I ordered day after you, shipped email that night and nothing since but hopefully will get something soon going on the experience of others.

Thanks @ClaraLane for the bunting. Just ordered for god daughter and a friend's daughter. So pretty.
