Thread 9 - the one with stocking fingers

[Reastie]

@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.

@Puffalicious thank you! That's a brilliant idea.

@gavisconismyfriend try Suzanne charles

Please can someone repost the country living Christmas fair free tickets, i canna find it

@sorryiasked thank you so much for trying! Unfortunately the knitted ones on this site are acrylic. I may have to learn to knit/crochet and make one myself!!

I bought DH a craft beer advent calendar on 1st Dec last year and it was heavily reduced. I wouldn't have afforded it at full price. I'll be trying to do the same thing again this year. Its probably worth waiting to see what deals you can get!

@lifelongfrugaleer country living tickets

I have a 20euro voucher for a 40 euro spend on zemove.de it says its personalised but I'm not going to use it its maybe worth someone trying?
I bought DH a microscope thing that connects to your mobile last year. The site itself is good and I had no issues with the company.
Some of the stuff is already on sale.
If anyone wants to try my one off code it is MCG20JG

I found one…but it’s £75! Slenderella do a cotton one if that’s an option?

Actually I think they have been very clever. They have got people all hyped up over what is essentially a box of samples. They get their name out there, people are more likely to use them again at full price, the people getting the gifts will then also use the “£10 voucher” which has a minimum spend, etc.

I think it’s like those ones where you get “£75 off a case of wine” via leaflets packaged in with Boden/Seasalt etc. I don’t think the Smashed Grapes code was a “glitch” at all. I think it was done for marketing hype. People get excited at a bargain, but if they literally gave it away free there would be less interest because no perceived value.

@UserNameNameNameUser do you think they were not £26 to start with?

Lots of teens I know are into crystals and horoscopes. You can get some cool bits in AliExpress if you type either of those things in

My M&S card app had free chocolate cookies today FYI

I agree or it’s a scam 3 x £3.99 per person who used diff email addresses all add up!

Sorry to do this but someone posted a remote control car a few threads back that they recommended, said it had been ok outside and been rammed into many walls and survived or similar. Does anyone remember which one is was please? I was sure I screenshotted it but can't find it now.

My kid's new obsession is football. Not the game, but the more expensive hobby of collecting football shirts.
www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk has loads of old season shirts from UK and international teams really cheap. Also loads of team socks and accessories from 99p.

I got my DC's these calendars from a site called Anorakonline last year which had a 15 or 20% sign up discount - free postage too I think. My two loved them - great range of flavours.

Thank you @BloodyMabel hadn’t found that one!

I bought cheaper ones on Amazon think they were £80 and I used them for me and my ds for rugby.

Candles direct have a massive discount on their mystery box. (But it describes contents). And if you sign up you get an extra 10% off.

Thank you for the tickets @Reastie
my daughter and I had a fabulous time -productive but expensive! Much better than the awful Ideal Home one. We picked up the tea-set no problems and it’s lovely. The man on the stand was also really lovely 😊 Thank you again

Just received my 15% discount card for White Company. Welcome to use it. Valid till 17th January.

What size rucksack would you get for a 5ft 3 22 year old to take back packing? 65 or 85 litre?
I've seen some good half price deals with Blacks and Mountain Warehouse but I'm clueless.

@Theimpossiblegirl if possible it would be better to take them to the shop. It's best to get measured and some makes suit better than others, I have quite wide shoulders but am short and needed a totally different brand to my husband. Could you take the recipient, narrow down makes and then look for bargains?
