Thread 7 - the one with the hook a fuck game

[Reastie]

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 🤣

@MrsNowAndAlways Thanks for that. I couldn't resist a second order and both discounts worked plus used the PayPal credit offer.
Fingers crossed it all goes through ok.

I’ve just done a vans order with both codes stacked and top cash back - thanks OP!

Vans discount worked and straight through at 6.15am

Vans order went through for me just now no problem! Two full price pairs with the 50% and 20% stacked and cashback! Hope they don't all get cancelled now- does seem almost too good to be true!

Thanks to the original poster! I did see it had been posted on Facebook yesterday which makes sense as to why they site was so busy last night.

I'm on the lookout for some walkie-talkies for my four year old if anyone has any recommendations? Don't need to be amazing but want them to work ok and not break after a few weeks. Loads on Amazon but most have varying reviews... probably don't want to spend more than about £20 max. Tia

Thanks to whoever posted the vans code, got 3 pairs this am for DS and DP so I’m chuffed!

What is the Vans code please?

@lotsofthingstolearn EXCLUSIVE50 and VANS20OFF-B28MD-DG34U.
Hope it helps. X

Managed to get a vans order last night but haven’t had a confirmation email yet, did everyone get an email? It definitely went through as an order as got an order number which I didn’t write down😬

Just found it in my junk folder yay great discount

M&S beauty advent calendars are go!

Baker Ross have a few stocking fillers and craft toys reduced on Amazon.

I missed the extra 20% off vans code but the website is so slow again ‘twas still a bargain at 50% off

Ah brilliant.

It said on my email 11:30pm but presumably that would have been to make me buy asap then!

Code is EXCLUSIVE50 if it still works today for anyone

I got confirmation email right away but I ordered this morning

Ignore me I've just seen your updated post about junk mail!

I haven’t got my confirmation email but screen shot the order. I have 4 PayPal notifications but only 1 amount gone out re vans

Coverless duvet and pillow sets are down to £15 as of this morning at aldi. There's paw patrol, peppa pig and 1 other, I forget which!

@lifelongfrugaleer I got 4 PayPal notifications too but my confirmation came through immediately.

Vans site down for maintenance 😓

I'm trying to place an Amazon order to a pick up location to get the £7 off £20. I have 5 items, all Prime items, all small things, but when I chose the location it says there is an error for 3 items and I have to choose a different address. Argh! How can you tell which ones you can get delivered to a pick up location? I'll prob miss the offer by the time I have another £20 order

Someone asked a while back about kids fitbits. My 7 year old got the actual kids fitbit (Ace 3) for his birthday and it's been good. They were cheaper than I thought they'd be and then reduced for Prime day, so I'd assume that they will be again for Black Friday.

I mainly went with it as I have a fitbit, so I could use the same app on my phone.
It was a good gift as it was a "grown up" present rather than a toy which felt special to him, and as well as encouraging activity, it's helped him and his friends with understanding time.

The one down side is that he's not allowed to wear it for PE at school and because he's quite slow at fastening the strap he leaves it at home for the day instead.

@Turtleoo - I tried last night and it refused to apply the discount for me at all, even though I was over the £20 limit. I gave up in the end after about 5 goes, so following to see what the problem is!

Does anyone have any advice about 3D printers please. It seems to be something that DH would really like but I'm not sure how much he'd use it after the novelty wears off so don't want to spend too much. Our house isn't huge and we don't have a garage or anywhere like that to put it so it would have to be a closed one that doesn't create any nasty fumes.

Any advice appreciated.

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz, I’ve been looking for an alternative too, as I’m in the same boat. I’ll let you know if I come across anywhere

Just managed to put a vans order through - had to keep going back in and out of basket because of ‘website being down due to maintenance’ but it eventually went through and had confirmation immediately.
It may get cancelled but thought it was worth a shot - was losing the will to live!
