Can anyone recommend some sort of cheese selection? Like the smashed grapes thing really but for cheese? I don't need chutneys or boards, just a good selection of cheese, with double points if I can select a delivery date so the fridge isn't full until Christmas, thanks !

Do you have a supermarket delivery slot near Christmas? If you have a Tesco slot for example, you could order the Celebration Cheese Tower. As it’s part of their festive food to order range, it would be reserved for you

The AtTE lego set is down to £98 now on Amazon, lowest it's been so far. Cashback makes it £95.

The smiley face slippers at public desire which, for some reason, are the 'in thing' have 30% off just now and UKWLCM6 will give an extra 15% off. Delivery is £3.99 which is a pain but still cheaper than the full price slippers alone.

That’s great, thanks @thaegumathteth

@wewishyouamerrychristmas it was MSE40 and JEWELS for hot diamonds.

nicky2512 · 15/11/2022 17:49

Next have bath and body works soap on at two for £13. Still quite expensive but I bought the frosted coconut for my mum and it smells amazing!
Thanks for whoever posted about the green and blacks being down again at Amazon. Three boxes ordered for my three sets of BIL/SIL. Will make a nice change from the tub of Heroes I usually buy them!!

DamitJamit · 15/11/2022 17:54

Does anyone have a lakeland code by any chance? Did sign up for them but have recieved nothing. Tia

vjg13 · 15/11/2022 17:56

Bath and body works foaming Handwash is absolutely lovely. I've tried loads of different ones and always been pleased. I've just bought a few of the Winter smell ones, Crisp Morning Air currently in my bathroom.

For anyone looking for an Nintendo Switch Oled - it’s £279 at Asda (George) which is the cheapest I’ve seen it and cheaper than it’s ever been on Amazon. Topcashback are offering 13.75% cashback at Asda George too - if it tracks, it’ll take it down to around £241 I think.

Ive taken the plunge and bought it with the intention of returning it if there’s an amazing bundle on offer during Black Friday

mac1974 · 15/11/2022 18:03

Can anyone share the link to green & blacks plse. When I search it's bringing up a box for £8 in slightly different packaging

Since being pregnant with DD who is nearly 5, I've suffered terribly with Raynaud's of the nipple. I literally regularly have frosted tits and I wouldn't recommend them 😂🙈

Oh god, you're bringing back painful memories there! Thankfully mine stopped after I stopped breastfeeding.

AlabamaWorley22 · 15/11/2022 17:19

Powder Design does some beautiful bamboo socks - either monogrammed and other lovely patterns.

they are super comfortable, only about £8 and the gift bags are to die for. Literally a work of art.

you may find them in Dobbies with 20% off which is even more of a bargain.

Great customer service too, I bought some for a gift that had a hole and they replaced it for free even though I'd forgotten the shop it came from 🙈

buckeejit · 15/11/2022 18:25

@EverydayIsPJday I really recommend the courtyard dairy for cheese. Leeds blue is the best!

Also delighted to hear the powder socks love - bought some (new) in a charity shop for dd & their look fab

Top cash back question: do you guys have the free version or the one that takes £5 of your annual cashback earnings? Thanks in advance :)

I had the free version for a couple of years which was fine but have had the Plus membership for 3 or 4 years now as I use TCB all the time and definitely get the moneys worth.

Runforwine · 15/11/2022 18:27

@Athlebad Try tescos if you have one close by. I got 6 pairs for my son last week, they were reduced to £3.50. He said they're really soft and keep his feet warm not sweaty!

IHeartKingThistle · 15/11/2022 12:10

Sorry for more oodie talk but what brands of hooded blankets are good please that aren't oodies? Don't want to do the £5 thing I don't think. For 9 year old niece.

My dd (11) has one from M&S and loves it! They have different ages, very soft and not too thick/heavy but keeps her warm ☺️

livingthegoodlife · 15/11/2022 18:51

@EverydayIsPJday try the Cheese shed I've ordered their selections before. Really really nice.

RazorstormUnicorn · 15/11/2022 18:55

Thanks @polmnlj that star wars AT-TE was exactly what my (37 year old!) brother wanted and with the Very credit account discount nearly £40 cheaper than I've seen!

Helssjbells · 15/11/2022 18:59

Does anyone have a H&M discount code please? I remember there was a 15% off one but I think I’m too late for it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

animalcrossingfan2021 · 15/11/2022 19:09

Amazon currently have Baileys 1L on offer at £10

polmnlj · 15/11/2022 19:13

@RazorstormUnicorn it was also my ds12 main wish for this Xmas. I could have waited for Black Friday but this was one thing I really needed to get so I got with Very discount.

kateandme · 15/11/2022 11:19

Wow! How have oi not seen these before. Are they as good as they look online?I mean they do seem a upper cost but wow.

@kateandme

I got one of their large bunches as a gift once and have given a few as presents since because I thought they were so beautiful.

The customer service is fantastic. I sent one to a friend who sadly suffered a miscarriage, she then decided on short notice to stay with her mum for a week and missed the delivery. I called them and they sent another bunch to her mum's for her free of charge.

Athlebad · 15/11/2022 19:31

@Runforwine oooh, great. There's one really close by, I'll pop down to have a look this evening. Thanks!

purplehairtroll · 15/11/2022 19:33

Hey I wondered if anyone had seen the primark American candy hampers and knew what the price is? Thanks!

mummysandwich · 15/11/2022 19:33

I want to stock up on batteries - just normal AA and AAA - for toys, fairy lights, remotes etc.
I usually get them from Aldi/Lidl but have a feeling they're not the best value as they seem to run out v quickly.
Grateful if anyone has any bargainous/good value suggestions?
