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 🤣

Allbeauty have code FESTFREE for orders over £30 which offers a free gift and a mystery discount. The gifts look ok - YSL shower gel, Ralph Lauren bag, Diesel wash bag. I got an extra £5 off my order so managed to get 3 Ariana Grande body sprays for £28 delivered plus the free gift

The offer ends today

I've just had an email from Royal Mail saying they have my item from Tottenham. Hopefully a few others will get them too. Mind you with all the strikes I still might not see it for quite some time 😆

My Van's order finally went through seemed to load better on the Google browser rather than explorer. 20% also came even though it said wasnt valid🤷‍♀️🤞

Does anyone have any tips on the best place to get Sylvanian Families from? I’ve been checking ebay and Facebook marketplace for some bargains, but none of the bigger items (treehouse etc) are coming up!

There were animals and a couple of playsets in the TK Maxx I went in to recently.

Oooh I've also got a Royal Mail email for the Spurs order. I'm going to assume it was for the book that was discounted to £5 and not the cheeky second order of the passport cover which was 'free' 🙊.

I placed a Vans order last night via PayPal and I have had confirmation of the order. However I have had a refund notification from PayPal this morning to say the full amount had been refunded

blusteryshowersaway · 27/10/2022 09:49

I've just put another vans order in. Will see what comes of it.

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

This happened to me. It said the items were eligible and took the money off but it kept telling me to choose a different pick up hub - it wouldn’t accept any near me. In the end I contacted them and they added the credit to my account as it seemed to be an issue with their site.

I've had the attached offer by email from craft gin club. I don't know if it's account specific but might be worth a try if you have gin to buy for anyone

@Changingagain my DS has the ender 3 Pro - reasonably quiet, he has it in his bedroom... He uses it for all sorts - from printing presents to making clips for DIY..

HollyPupp · 27/10/2022 10:21

Managed to get a Vans order to go through at 9.30am! We shall see if they deliver or not.

If not I should invoice them for wasting hours of my life with their backwards website😂

Restlessinthenorth · 27/10/2022 10:23

Also struggling with the £5 off £15 offer on Amazon. It says I've successfully applied it to my account but nothing is coming off despite trying various different items. Anyone any ideas?

@whoknows1230

Thanks! Same here ... don't know about you but I still enjoy sending cards and love receiving them and WF are beautiful. I got a great tin of x 20 Christmas cards last time, I was so chuffed with those.

Anyway I'm trying Vans again today but (is it just my phone?!!!) it's still so slow when it isn't down for maintenance. Christ, I can see me hitting the gin before lunch at this rate Confused

It took me 2 hours ish to finally get the order through! Eventually done it but it was painful.

I managed on my phone but I found it best to wait 30 seconds after each page loaded before submitting or progressing to payments. Took a while but got there.

If I try for the Amazon £5 offer I get a message saying I'm not eligible 😔

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 27/10/2022 10:50

BIG shout out to the lovely poster who mentioned the Barclays home insurance quote ... I've received my Costa voucher today! So chuffed Grin

whoknows1230 · 27/10/2022 11:01

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz

Same here! I sometimes buy the tins of notecards for birthday cards too - they work out even cheaper than the 80p/90p ones

I can’t even get on to the Vans website 😩

Blessedbethefruitz · 27/10/2022 11:02

Does anyone have an argos code please? I have to order bunk beds 😅

Gladysrocker · 27/10/2022 11:04

Am I being super thick? I can’t find anywhere to put a discount code in on the Vans website!!

It’s on the checkout bit… just above where it says about shipping…. It says something like promo code and has a + next to it.

I would try and get a screenshot but I can’t get the page to load!
