Christmas bargain prequel 2023 thread 1 - the one with the sales

[Sideorderofchips]

Hi all!

Thank you @reastie for all the Christmas bargain threads. Time to get my hat on and start the prequels!

So far online sales I've seen are :

New look
Smiggle
George
Claires
Dunelm
Boots
Superdrug
Paperchase
Peacocks

Add yours when you see them!

I meant to link to all three types of M&S sale period pants, but managed to omit the link to the high waist ones.

Thanks for the Mothers Day tips. Got some great bits for DM and MIL in the Boots sale in the end. Bloom and Wild have been not and miss for me. Some great flowers but then one gift that was sent out dead and had to be replaced!

Now looking for a party gift for a 10 yr old boy. Lego maybe?

Hit and miss

Boots has a Freebie Friday, that is a Buy One Get One Free, on a range of items. They start at £2 before the discount so there are many which work out at £1 each.

It’s mostly cheap 17, Revolution and Boots cosmetics with a lot of
nail polishes but could be useful for stocking fillers. Some are even cheaper with a Boots Advantage card.

I have just bought my mum some flowers from Bunches.com
(I’ve not used them before)

www.bunches.co.uk/refer/btmrldr (Referral code to both get 500 points/£5) and then 25% off code is HBMD23

Polite request to keep referrals off this thread.

My eldest is 6 so not sure about suitability, but have been impressed by a kit like This buggy before

@Pineconederby by the time ours were that age / friends that age we just put money in a card then they can get what they want.

Thank you for the heads up about period pants. Snapped some up for dd and then felt obliged to spend enough so as not to pay postage so bought trousers for me and a bunch of stuff for dgs so maybe not such a bargain after all grin
Arena flowers have been the best flowers delivered here. Dd gets me a subscription for my birthday and more for Mother's Day and have never had a dud flower and been receiving them for years.

Apologies
it was more for the discount code but thought I’d add referral too

Always had a hood experience with Serenata flowers.

@Famousthehero - these look great! Might get some for my DC actually. Thanks for the tip.

I remember these being quite popular. I've just had an email saying buy 1 box get 2 free with code BOG2F

I didn't buy what I was getting from Argos in the end (thanks to a cracking eBay offer of 20% off homeware, with another 10% from the retailer on top), so my £6 off £60 is below:

Great thread thanks everyone 😊

£7.99 for this Kinetic sand set seems like a good price - have bought for our 3yo who plays with kinetic sand for hours

I've messed up and left it too late to buy something and now it's out of stock near me and for delivery.

Does anyone have this in stock near them and they'd be willing to post me one please?

www.argos.co.uk/product/7849367

I would of course pay for postage and you could wrap in a couple of bin bags to post and it should be ok.

ASD DD goes to a sensory play session every week and they have one of these and she spends the whole time playing on it. Also obsessed with Animal Crossing. It's not even the fact it's a bargain, I'd pay full price too but I literally can't find it anywhere except Argos. I meant to buy it a few days ago, then got distracted by something and forgot to check out. Have tried postcodes by in laws and various friends scattered around the UK to see if they could grab one but it's out of stock in a lot of places.

@TheSoddingCat i just went to have a look for you after looking for my postcode - not available I asked Argos to show me where it was available and it says “it’s not available for collection in any of our stores”

@TheSoddingCat just checked various postcodes, and none available. But there is a few on EBay. So maybe worth a look if Argos haven't any

@TheSoddingCat if seems to only be in stock at Barrow in Furness. No where near me unfortunately, but it might help in narrowing down a potential helper.

@TheSoddingCat it’s telling me it’s available in Wandsworth if you know anyone nearby, I’m not near unfortunately.

Sorry @TheSoddingCat it's not in stock near me. Hope you get sorted.

@TheSoddingCat it looks like it's in stock in the Tottenham Court Road branch, if that's any help?

Boots £10 Tuesday offers are online now. The site has been glitchy for the last half an hour but seems OK now as long as you sort “Low to High”

The most reduced item seems to be this No 7 Booster Serum which it says is normally £34.95.

@TheSoddingCat is it the gaming rocking chair you’re after? It’s in stock for same day delivery to me. More than happy to help if you want to message me.
