I concur that the BAM socks are lovely. If you want a little more bargainous, TKMaxx always have some instore and online. I just ordered some yesterday- Sock Shop ones and Glenmuir. I've had both before and are both really good.

I've just popped my smashed grapes referral code on the referrals thread if anyone wants to order a kit. £20 off your order. Currently available for order from late Nov throughout December.

I find Primarks are good

@mummysandwich - we use the Amazon basics ones - 40 for £9 or so - they seem to last long

I'm just laughing at me not reading the full thread, not noticing the 5 other posters recommending TK Maxx bamboo socks 🤣

If you can stretch the budget I would try some rechargeable ones. It's so, so, so much cheaper in the long term and better environmentally.

IKEA are great and really good value if you have one near you.

Just a thought.

I want at least 4! So I'll head over and check if they have the scent I need. Thanks loads!

Amazon basics (agree with PPs to get rechargeable but they also sell non/rechargeable) are generally on sale in Black Friday. We always stock up then

I usually do a day trip to France to get my cheese (and wine) but the ferry and tunnel are so expensive this year so I'm interested in the responses you get.

I try and get my cheese early December to make sure it has enough time to get really ripe and stinky!

DD has asked for shower steamers- anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks for the battery recommendations!!
I would like to try rechargeable but hadn't thought of ikea. We live fairly far away but I need to order a new desk for wfh so could combine with that. And maybe some Amazon basics as a back up for when we inevitably forget to charge! Alas, not near a primark either 😢.

Hopefully this time posting on the correct thread ....

Anyone with a teenager know if Boss Bottled Night is an ok fragrance or willl I be hoping for a return to the god awful Lynx (right of passage tho) and apart from Very any bargainous ideas of where to buy ? Thank you

We use Amazon basics rechargeable and one of their chargers and they are great

There's a maker who sells them on the Facebook group Not On Amazon which people always seem to rave about...

I don't mean this as a daft question but have you joined as a member ? It's free and then u get no end of discounts offered to you and it's free p&p

Look Fantastic have it on offer 200ml for £48. If you are a new customer you can get £10 off with refer a friend. I will add my link to the referral board if you need one 😀

@Dogmatix34 This is their etsy shop. Seems a lot cheaper than I remember them having advertised before, so this might be for a smaller quantity...

@Athlebad got one. Thank you

I've used your code Nevertooearly . Thankyou!

Was just saying on the referral thread that I don't get it when companies don't ensure that products are the best deal on their own site? Surely this means the small company is making the most money, as they offer other businesses a keener price as they need to make their cut.

I used to always order direct, best for the company, but not now when every £ counts.

Could someone who has received the Green & Blacks chocolates let me know what sort of date is on them please?

Another one hoping I'm on the correct thread this time . Does anyone know where I can buy a set of decent Flannelette sheets. I'm reluctant to get them from Amazon etc, as the reviews are mixed with a lot of complaints about the fluff they create, and the dye transferring. They're for my DMIL who has dementia and she wouldn't be able to cope with that. So I need to find good quality ones. Thank you

I was going to say the same thing @mummysandwich. Amazon basics / Robert dyas / whatever and it saves so much money.

@PissedOffNeighbour22 my green and blacks are july23 - from Tescos clubcard prices (£6) rather than amazon
