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

A bit of competition for the thread title this time - thanks for all the contenders and nominees and @Someaddedsugar for the title. This says a lot about your phones autocorrect I think Grin 🤣

The Lego ice cream truck was a great bargain and I bought a few for 7th birthday gifts.

So I hope there is a different Lego bargain this year so I can do it again for age 8!

@Puffalicious if you use already cold liquid it seems to be better than room temperature, and leave it in the cup for a few seconds before smooshing. I can never get the amount correct though and it always seems to overflow 🙄

I'll try to make it extra cold!

@Puffalicious re the slushy cups are you freezing them in a fridge/freezer rather than a deep freeze? My daughter uses slushys for sensory regulation so we have 4 of them. When our chest freezer broke and we tried putting them in the fridge/freezer they turned out just as you described. We had to buy a replacement chest freezer in the end! They obviously need to be really really cold to work properly.

We do have a chest freezer, so I'll give that a go. Laughing at the expense of a new chest freezer for the slashes 🤣 (I know you had to buy one anyway, but it sounds funny!).

Picked this up in store last night. They also have a bright green car of some sort in the same deal which isn't on their website.

I picked up a police set in Sainsbury's the other day (very little left un their 'saie') said reduced from £22 to £16.80. They same set was in Asda last night standard price £16! I hate the false reductions! I have a mind to return it!

Thanks to PP for the Boots Orchard Games tip - have ordered a few, cheapest around.

Do bath and body works ever have discounts? My daughter wants a couple of sprays

Bear in mind that Next won't take returns on unopened items so make sure you know she likes the scents. I ordered a couple of the mimosa sprays on recommendation from here thinking I could spray one and if i didn't like it return the unused one but now I'm stuck with it - it's not a nice scent at all.
I also ordered a mens bath&bodyworks moisturiser and it was thick with black dust when it arrived and definitely not full.

I ordered the cherry blossom and a vanillia one earlier in the year and they were both lovely.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 20/10/2022 10:16

@Room4onemore Sorry that was supposed to reference @LemonFrosting's suggesting of using Next for bath & bodyworks.

Thanks, got one for my nephew! It's his kind of thing!

Brand alley have the molton brown bauble for 8.50 but its 6 quid postage so only worth it if you're getting other bits too

@Purpleheadgirl SChuh kids actually go up to adult 6 (39), in stock at £70 and £5 off if signing up to newsletter, there maybe other codes and topcashback but I just found this with a very quick Google.

Blissfully wishing I had children who could fit in to children's shoes.😔. My 'children' haven't qualified for tax-free shoes since they were 11. Grrr....

*Well one of them still does, but the lanky teens have cost me a fortune for too many years. I'm still blocking out the cost of size 10 Dr Marten shoes for return to school this August🙈.

Forgive me, I'm wittering!

They are £67.95 on the Nike website and there’s 10% off if you know anyone with a UNiDAYS code.

Bluezoo123 · 20/10/2022 12:07

Sorry to jump in on the trainers front but if anyone comes across Nike Air Max Plus black trainers with a discount in an adult 11.5 that would be great. Annoyingly they're not on JD sports website (just the more expensive Vapormax ones are) as I can get 20% on their app.

have ordered one of these for DD who is a massive HP fan - but it does say delivery could be 16 weeks!!!!!

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 20/10/2022 12:17

Does also feel like the Harry Potter coin is the opposite of what this thread is about - have just paid £11 + p&p for a 50p piece ConfusedConfused

Purpleheadgirl · 20/10/2022 12:17

@psuedocream3 @boobybum thanks for that - just assumed size wouldn't come under kids sizes so even better!

Purpleheadgirl · 20/10/2022 12:26

Now to keep hunting for the standard version rather than the LE as DD very particular...

Ilovewheelychairs · 20/10/2022 12:36

Code 15FORYOU will get you 15% off at the Neom site. Doesn't work on their surprise box though sadly! Also, code FREEOIL will get you an essential oil free with every 3 bought. Codes don't stack though!

Magik01 · 20/10/2022 12:40

Saw these in my local Tesco, obviously won’t be nation wide and store dependant but worth checking any reduced sections if your in store.

I went RL shopping today and Primark has their matching family Christmas PJs! They were all spread out in the different sections (mens/womens/children's) but I managed to get all our sizes! Children's were £7, adults £9 in the print I went for (red cotton Scandi style). They had matching cosy socks for £1.80. I spoke to someone on the shop floor and he said how popular they always are and to buy and return if not sure on sizes, as they can be returned till January. He said they will all be put together at some point, but they'd just got them in. Was really happy to have got all 5 pairs for £39. I really loved our M&S tartan ones a couple of years ago, but couldn't justify the cost of M&S this year.

I also went to Poundland and they had some outfits for Elf on the Shelf (snowman and reindeer) for £2 each. I was also thrilled to get Katherine Rundell's One Christmas Wish in hardback for £1! It's a beautiful book and is over £10 on Amazon!

Poundland also had Christmas Disney tote bags for £1 in various different designs and some nice looking Christmas craft by Crayola from £1.
