Thread 9 - the one with stocking fingers

@6poundshower thanks for the title. A stocking finger sounds far too small to fit many bargains in though! 🤣

Apologies for belatedly setting this up - was at a primary tour for potential school for ds and then working. Pesky RL! Hope you can all find me.

Does anyone know of anywhere better than Amazon to look for board games? Or wait for Black Friday?

I'd like to buy one each for dc-9&13 & request one for myself. I like the sound of wingspan.

Also if there's any great games in small packages/boxes, that would be fab to know as space is limited

Zatu Games is where I get a lot of ours from and they usually have money off when you buy multiple games. There might also be tbc as well

@ikeawardrobe my dd is 16 some of the items on her list around that budget is a silk pillowcase, a Victoria secrets body spray, Next perfume she likes Just Pink, Joma bracelet.

Lift the flap space book

First time attempting a link this year! This looks to be a good deal, only £4 if you add the £1 voucher and the others in the series are around £8.

WineandDine · 06/11/2022 08:39

No idea of quality, but for any Sonic fans this single duvet set is down to £6 with 80% off voucher. Delivery is a few weeks but before Xmas.

Dontwanttoberudeorwastetime · 06/11/2022 09:01

I’ve bought a few of these for my daughter’s school friends and waited for them to arrive before posting.
They’re really good quality and an absolute bargain at £2.50 a set.

Currently out of stock but can sign up to be notified when they’re back in stock or search for your local shop to see if they have any.

mac1974 · 06/11/2022 09:07

@thaegumathteth plse could you tell me where you found the mini waffle maker? Think my DD would like that too.

TheBigFish · 06/11/2022 09:10

Sorry @ahunf just saw this. Havents used Simply Cook for ages but they are a little like them in that they are dry spice mixes but look much more of a gift as there is a recipe book with 100s of recipes and the spice mixes come in lovely stackable, refillable tins. You also only use a little of each mix within each recipe so can make loads of different meals with the sets.

Aldi queue is paused at about 65,000 customers ahead! There did look like lots of good deals-air fryer, sylvanian family, can't remember what else, but I'm having FOMO not being able to check!😂

labambalabamba · 06/11/2022 09:20

I'm now I a queue for Aldi and I haven't a blue why?

labambalabamba · 06/11/2022 09:21

Georgieporgie29 · 06/11/2022 09:25

Do sock shop ever do discount codes? I’ve got an order I want to place but been hanging on for a code and wondering whether to wait until Black Friday?

dizzygirl1 · 06/11/2022 09:35

Does anyone have a discount fir the Naked Marshmallow advent calendar? I'm think DD15 might like one. Her DF got her the usual candy kittens one I buy each year so now I'm stuck! She doesn't really want a specific calendar so it's up to me to decide on the perfect one 😉🤣

mac1974 · 06/11/2022 09:46

@sprongle1 thanks for the joules eBay tip off. Slippers ordered for MiL

lemonsmum · 06/11/2022 09:49

@buckeejit
I'd recommend zatu aswell I've bought a couple from there recently and they were still cheaper than Amazon even though I had to pay for delivery.

tabbycat985 · 06/11/2022 09:50

Ah sorry @dizzygirl1 That's so cheeky of them! I've used the site before & it was definitely the cheapest I could find the stuff but that puts me right off it!
I have this one for 15% off Naked Marshmallow Company but not sure if it will work on the advent, BLC15

Tamtam86 · 06/11/2022 10:05

@CarrotCarrotCucumber thanks for the upcircle referral, I have just used your link and ordered something for my sister, I hadn't heard of the brand but this is right up her street 🙂

Thanks. Victoria Secret might be good. Will check out the bracelet too. Thank you.

Myleakycauldron · 06/11/2022 10:15

I'm in the Aldi queue as was searching for something specific and it came up - and then I came straight on this thread to see what's what?! What is happening? Is it a special sale?

Ofcourse now I am in the queue I want the bargains!

freckles20 · 06/11/2022 10:15

This thread is fantastic, thank you!

Does anyone have any thoughts about advent calendars being reduced nearer the beginning of December?

I'd really like to get DH a coffee bean one, and DS a hot chocolate one but I don't really have the budget for them.

I know it kind of misses the point but I'm tempted to see if any of them get reduced into December.

UserNameNameNameUser · 06/11/2022 10:17

I am also in the Aldi queue for no reason 🐏

friskybivalves · 06/11/2022 10:19

Are the £9.99 milk frothers in the Aldi special buys by any chance?

MoveMore · 06/11/2022 10:20

I 2nd (3rd? 4th) the Aldi queue questions. I usually always check the app Sundays when the new specials are released but today I’m 175534th in a queue so wondering what the big items are that have got everyone so excited to be queuing eeek fomo indeed.

on another note has anyone see gravitrax PRO (the black boxes) on offer? Keep checking Amazon but prices aren’t changing. Thanks

Letthesunshineonin · 06/11/2022 10:23

Everyone’s after the Aldi air fryer today. The site crashed.
