Sainsburys did a double up in April 2022. They called it the big points swap.

I doubled up £50 worth to £100 and it was much better because you could spend on groceries. I stocked up on cleaning goods and washing powder!

Hoping for another one very soon!

Not everybody was invited to that. It was specific people only.

CoffeeAndEnnui -
Thank you, must be all those chocolate potential buyers. We’ve broken Amazon. 😂

@Reastie, 'the one where we broke Amazon' as the next thread title?!

Chocolate showing at £3.83 right now but is failing to go into my basket!

www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08FJ97LJ5?smid=A2YCTJUHN5OGGG&psc=1 This the dye set has reduced from £10.15 to £7.99. Add a couple of plain T-shirt’s of tote bag and would make a great gift.

Needtostartover · 23/11/2022 05:25

@NoWordForFluffy I am still to see it show at a reduced price for me. I didn’t even want chocolate when it was first posted 🤣

I still don't really want / need it, but it appears to have become my life's mission!

His I go to bed early and page 7 of a new thread lol

Needtostartover · 23/11/2022 05:36

@NoWordForFluffy Each (failed) day I tell myself I don’t want it anyway and that I’m not even going to look anymore and then it gets mentioned again and I’m compelled to have another try 🤦🏻‍♀️

Needtostartover · 23/11/2022 05:37

@Room4onemore I think we need to put sleep on hold for the foreseeable future

IggyAce · 23/11/2022 05:42

I got the chocolate in my basket but it wouldn’t let me check out! I’m getting closer it’s my mission to get the chocolate now 😂.

Room4onemore · 23/11/2022 05:45

Amazon won’t let me check out with a box of Lindt and 3 boxes of after eights, unusually high traffic for some reason lol

Can anyone suggest an advent calendar for a 12 year old boy?

Not Lego, he's had that the last few years and says he doesn't want it again this year

Loves Rubik's cubes and puzzle type things, not into sports

Potentially a foodie one but not degusta (someone else in the house has that one)

I get mine the pringles one which is their most requested Christmas item every year. Only a 12 day one though

doctorboo · 23/11/2022 06:12

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin Saltwater currently have their sale on and I’m sure their dryrobes have money off?

doctorboo · 23/11/2022 06:14

@Fueledwithfairydustandgin Silly autocorrect - that was meant to be Saltrock

Unfortunately the chocolate got posted on a bargain Facebook site this morning, so now there are just under 50k extra people trying to snaffle it 😢

Hoping someone can remember a L'occitane deal one previous year that was ideal for secret santa gifts. I can't remember if it was a normal price or a bargain deal 🤔 I think it was hand cream.

This one

Thanks so much for all the dry robe recommendations. Off to have a look
To the poster looking for good quality toy animals, sorry I don’t remember who it was. I asked the same question a while ago and was advised to get the chad valley bucket from Argos. It’s £10 for the bucket and the animals are good quality

Mads96 · 23/11/2022 06:57

Hi all!

I'm after some nice pyjamas for my Mum(72). Wide leg jersey trousers with 3/4 or long sleeved top, preferably a pretty pattern. Everything I've found is short sleeved, flannel or brushed and it needs to be cool as she gets so hot. Has anyone seen anything, or could suggest somewhere to look that I might not have tried?

I like Chelsea Peers pjs or Their Nibs
