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 🤣

This monster jam kinetic sand set was priced at £9 on the shelf label but went through at £6 at the checkout - the trucks are usually £5 on their own so a really good price.

Where was this please? Thank you!

Someaddedsugar · 25/10/2022 08:57

Sorry @LemonFrosting - a shop would help! It was Sainsburys!

LemonFrosting · 25/10/2022 09:05

@Someaddedsugar to be honest I'd guessed sainsburys in my head 😂thank you!

Anyone got any recommendations for a child's Fitbit thing?! He is only 5, so nothing pricey or too technical but is very interested in how many steps he's doing when we go out for a walk 🙄😂

Hi, where was the aspinal sale, and what's the code, please? Thanks x

There is a fab Caudalie face mask in that £10 Tuesday offer today. I got it in a beauty advent calendar last year.

What is the buyagift code/deal please? I've scrolled back through pages and still not found it!

buyagift code is HRE57219EML for £15 off with no minimum spend (although you have to use a workaround to get it to work on lower priced items - add a more expensive item to the bag, add discount, remove expensive item).

if you check out as guest you can use it multiple times.

I got a couple of the £39 “experience boxes” for £24 each, which includes “Segway Rally for 2”. The same experience sells separately for £59 per person. It’s always a good idea to check if what you are wanting is included cheaper in one of the bundled boxes.

@lozabella and @Dancingqueenwannabe

Re cheap Switch, they said this last year about a shortage of Switches and then miraculously they had loads in stock ready for Christmas. I would recommend holding out for Black Friday or the run up to it AND create a free account with HotUKDeals.com and set up a notification alert for the Switch. Check the site every day and when you see a price you're happy with, just buy it. Don't second guess. Also, once you find a good deal, check out Topcashback and Quidco in case you can save a bit extra that way too.

There's a great post on the Hukd site re how to set the console up and download games, create a Nintendo Switch account etc so kids aren't waiting hours for you to do it/games to download when the Switch servers are super busy on Christmas Day, and they can just play it immediately. It's worth trying to find it.

My DH purchased the switch and some games last week from Very as new customers got 20% off, he also mentioned he got cash back? Might be worth having a look? Sorry I don’t really have the full details!
I was prepared to hold out for Black Friday but he said it was a good enough saving so went for it 🤷‍♀️

I'm struggling to get the Buyagift workaround to work- when I remove the more expensive item it just removes the discount. Do I need to go through to the delivery options before removing?

Ilovewheelychairs · 25/10/2022 09:44

It also won't let me use the code on Experience boxes?

Irisbouquet · 25/10/2022 09:45

Thanks for the Buyagift code, that's sorted quite a few people out!

Fancyateapottea · 25/10/2022 09:51

For anyone after Tonies, they’re 10% off and 4 for 3 at Smyths so I got 4 for about £40. I also got the Roald Dahl 16 book collection for £20. Been impressed with Smyths prices this year.

BEE08 · 25/10/2022 09:52

Hi all, I posted a little last year but not had much of a chance this year yet due to work. I’m after a blue Kiddiezoom camera for DS who will be 3 and a half at Christmas. Does anyone know if they were reduced in price last Black Friday deals or know if there are any discounts now. Thank you.

@Martinisarebetterdirty can I ask what you means by a Google play? I’m an apple girl and a Google search is just showing me it’s like the App Store!

Reminded me of Mary in Ghosts 😂😂

ahunf · 25/10/2022 09:57

If the buy a gift codes aren't supposed to be used on certain items be wary they may not be accepted.

OnAStarryNight · 25/10/2022 10:01

I've just used the buy a gift code for Afternoon Tea and it worked fine, paid £13 instead of £28 so less than half price. Thank you for sharing!

Jedstre · 25/10/2022 10:28

Spend £40 at Space NK on hair care and get a hair gift free. They’ve got some good sets of haircare, like Olaplex and JVN and they do a dry shampoo I like which is two for one in a set. It’s also free delivery over £40 plus two free samples and I went through Quidco for cash back.

There are some items which are genuinely not eligible, even if you use the ‘workaround’

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 25/10/2022 11:10

Does anyone know of bargain prices on Tommy Girl EDT 30ml? Best I can find is £13.95 delivered on Fragrance Direct but if there's a better offer that would be ace.

Looking for DD Grin

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz not much of a saving but £13.60 on Debenhams with free delivery using code SWEETTREAT

LemonFrosting · 25/10/2022 11:21

octonauts on amazon a few things reduced. I have ordered the orange gup b for £9

2lostsouls · 25/10/2022 11:22

I just used the buyagift code to get a goape tree adventure for my niece & nephew for £21 instead of £36, and have now been emailed a £10 voucher for signing up to buyagift (I think it just meant checking out!) so check your email if you’ve used the code too.

Oooh thank you ... I'll try that out in case there are other items and:or Cashback anywhere on top Grin

OnAStarryNight · 25/10/2022 12:03

Blade & Rose have a free pair of leggings with any spend over £5, if you enter the code FREE5 at checkout. I've not bought from them so not sure what they're like, but might be good if you have little ones to buy for!
