15% off crisps too. Typically I bought some of those crisps yesterday when I was picking up my free handcream!

Thank you for all the bargains I've benefitted from so far...
Does anyone have any bubble tea kit recommendations? I'd been waiting to buy the mixed starter pack from Bubble Panda as it said best consumed within 30 days and now its out of stock until Feb!!! I didn't want the xmas themed sets they sell as its for a birthday 4 days before Christmas!

@BadgerLovesMash I think Killstar or Disturbia would be your best bet but they're both super pricey but excellent quality! Or someone suggested SHEIN for goth style clothing a thread or two back but can't vouch for the quality.

101 Christmas Bums book is £2, delivery days it could be up to 5 weeks but I ordered yesterday & it's due on Sunday so might be worth a chance

Also check your emails from Very, they've sent me a code for £30 off a £60 spend!! I'm thrilled!! The code looks pretty generic but does say specifically for my account but if anyone wants to try it's UTKAM

Selling what I’m guessing are the McFlurry toppings at discount dragon, might make a fun gift for any fans.

£20 minimum spend now though.

We few, we happy few, we band of Percy lovers.

Thanks thaegumathteth, I couldn't find that seller in particular but I did find another who does 6 maxi tea lights for £4.50 plus £3 postage, and has agreed to do a mixed box of scents for me.

Still waiting. Amazon says 5th dec- 9th jan.

I got 20% off mixers and soft drinks with sparks today. Boo. Not even off booze. Am donating my Percy Pigs from yesterday as a pp suggested to a food bank DDs brownies is collecting for.

I’ve had a dispatch notice from Smashed Grapes, hadn’t heard anything since original order. Really looking forward to receiving this 😃

@IDontKnowWhatYouMean I just one too!

Same here. Percy's followed by cream liqueur discount.

Wonder if it's linked to spending. I've probably spent less than £100 in there this year, maybe even under £50.

@WhyDoesItAlways

I've spent a ridiculous amount of money in M&S this year as I do my weekly shop there most of the time and almost all DDs clothes are M&S now. I got free stocking string lights yesterday and 15% off crisps today so I don't think it is spending related, just random.

Still no Smashed grapes dispatch order for me - ordered on 4/11 and heard from them on 17/11 saying was going to be dispatched 1/12 earliest...

@Cluckycluck sparks matching discounts! I shop in M&S a few times a week plus regular online purchases so don’t think it’s linked to spending either.

Has anyone seen a bargainous but good quality mirror for a tween - 1 of those that has the lightbulbs around the edges like you find backstage? Dd wanting a bedroom overhaul.

Went to M&S to pick up my free hand cream. My branch don't stock that hand cream. What a faff! Got a free cheese scone which I'd had sitting on my sparks card for a week.

Bake your own Christmas cake kits were half price at £4 and lots of other stuff reduced (those fecking sugar plum gin snow globes are everywhere)

When you get free things from M&S in their advent, how does it work? Do you have to spend a certain amount to get it or do you have to go into the shop to collect ? Thanks

You just have to scan the free item at the till, then scan your sparks card and it reduces the item to £0.

You must have the sparks offer saved to your card first, though. Staff were very happy to help me yesterday.

Estée Lauder 3 piece Star Gift Set, Including Full-Size Advanced Night Repair Serum at Boots for £49

Went to M&S to pick up the free Percy bauble. Couldn't find any. Spent almost £50 on Xmas cheeses.

Bargain fail!

I don't think the amount you spend necessarily correlates to the Sparks advent. I've really not spent a lot in there this year at all and I randomly got my shopping for free a couple of weeks ago. I'd only popped in to pick up a few bits but it was £16 worth of stuff so I was thrilled.

I think the sparks advent is random, everyone got a free gift randomly allocated yesterday, todays it’s all random discounts etc.

Anyone know when the John Lewis member offers update?

Did anyone buy the Quidco Popcorn Shed deal yesterday? I did, it hasn’t tracked so went to raise a claim, it said it could take up to 6months so I’ve emailed Popcorn Shed and have cancelled and refund has been processed.
just a heads up to check your Quidco account

Yesterday I got free Percy Pigs string lights (which will probably go in DD2's stocking) and today I got 15% off their cream liqueur range, which I will almost certainly use.

I also found a £10 off voucher, no minimum spend, which I put towards a Christmas dress for one of the DC, making it £14.

I did and mine hadn’t tracked either but then neither did the Lego Black Friday deal for a few days. I was going to try and cancel but their thank you for supporting a small business email got me! Oh well, let’s hope it takes less than six months!
