Any ideas where to get Pokemon Violet and Scarlet Nintendo switch games at the most bargainest prices? They've only just been released so I suspect there won't be much in the way of discounts...

Asda is the cheapest I found at £40 but they didn't have stock on release day 🙄 so Argos was next best at £42. Even better if you have a voucher as PP said.

Any ideas please for an 8 year old boy fill own advent calendar - am at wits end 🤯
I want to fill my own not a pre bought advent calendar as I’ve found they’re always a bit disappointing.
Previous years I’ve done Christmas books, superzing blind bags, figet toy, surprise eggs - it’s something I can (quickly) order and preferably in bulk.
He loves Pokemon, Nintendo, Mario, Lego, amongst us(?) also he’s really starting to get into soccer with World Cup - are there any blind bags/cards or small, a few pounds in price, something that I’m not aware of as I don’t get to real life shops often.
Any help appreciated.

My son likes the same things and I've made a calendar using these cards. I found mine in Asda. https://www.panini.co.uk/shpgbrr_en/super-mario-trading-cards-mega-bundle-bundle004310b8fpktle-uk02.html

I got the chocolate!! Finally, I can rest easy.

it appears to be reduced every half hour about 20/50 past.

Not this time 😭 been constantly refreshing for 10 mins
Think I'm going to give up now and get 2 x 1kg bags of sweets for 10 from the TikTok shop instead..

Also interested in a link for the sweets please?!

@Flapjack637 Am I right that there aren't any discounts/sales on Lego.com for Black Friday - it's just free gifts that are offered for spending over a particular amount of money? That's all I can see on there...

40goingon30 · 23/11/2022 22:02

@wewishyouamerrychristmas on the TikTok shops they are doing 2 x 1kg bags of sweets for £10 - 1 x fizzy mix and 1 x gummy mix.
There are quite a few shops selling them but I think the trending shop is called 'So sweet'.
There are some with free delivery too.

I've now got a basket full of hot diamond presents and the discount codes I saved from the earlier thread don't work. Are there any new codes?

Another tip if you’re not 100% sure about an Amazon bargain - book a Prime delivery day for a week’s time (only if you have Prime obviously), then you can cancel if you need to

Brilliant idea!

I find that Amazon makes me panic sometimes when it says that only 1 of an item in my basket is left, and I’ve left it there because I’m waiting for a price drop. I’ve ordered in a panic in the past to then click on the item and they’re fully back in stock at the same price straight afterwards 😬

Holidayqueen1 · 23/11/2022 22:04

I finally saw the elusive chocolate but failed to add to basket 😳

No link I am afraid as it's on the app...

Search '1kg sweets' on the app, then go to shops and it will bring them up 😊

PeachTea1 · 23/11/2022 22:05

Skinny Dip has up to 50% off everything.
Instax cameras for £78.99 - not sure if that’s a good price

CantStandMeow · 23/11/2022 22:13

Turtleoo I highly recommend the White company oils. With the 20% off everything for BF, they are bargainous and beautifully scented so only need a couple of drops

Yes the offers were bonus VIP points on specific items (free to join their VIP programme) and the give away promotion when spending over certain amounts. I think it was £65 in store for a baking kit or £170 online/in store for the winter elves set.

Anyone that ordered the men's dressing gown from bedroom athletics yesterday did you get a confirmation email? I can see the funds have gone out of the bank but can't find an email

Agree! "Winter" is my favourite Xmas scent.

Serenitesanta · 23/11/2022 22:16

Turtleoo
I got the Marks and Spencer Mandarin, Clove and Cinnamon Aroma Oil in their outlet, was £2-something and is beautiful

For the person who was looking for changing robes, Two Bare Feet have £35 sale on white ones.

I don’t think there are any no. I gave up trying to save a small amount and just ordered what I wanted. There was a free gift offered with blue light card on orders over £80 I think but that was all I could find.

FilthyforFirth · 23/11/2022 22:20

Ah I dont have the app, but thanks anyway @40goingon30! #toooldfortiktok

jocktamsonsbairn · 23/11/2022 22:20

@Athlebad I gave up looking for a Lego deal so used a very one for £20 off! All look so gives me 3 months to pay with no interest.
