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 have it currently on my sparks card and ordered this week, not sure how I got it

Just to add I don’t have the 20% off sparks voucher on my acct but my app is still giving me 20% off school uniform so might work for others too

Thanks @NoWordForFluffy . Rubbish though for buying summer uniform

I got 20% off at M & S without my sparks

Oo I'll have a look

Thanks for the heads up about Smashed Grapes. I used the contact us form on the website and had a refund & 30% off voucher within the hour. I'm glad they seem to be sorting themselves out. I got a box of Malbec and a taster kit prior to the Xmas fiasco and was really happy with them. The wine tasting kits are lovely gifts. Might chance my arm with another one, sucker for punishment 😂

Boots £10 Tuesday is live again.

A particular bargain is this apparently well-reviewed offer MAC Studio Radiance Moisturizing + Illuminating Silky Primer which seems to be sold at £28 in many places.

I've finally found someone to purchase one of the harumika sets for and seem to remember someone mentioned somewhere you could get fabric samples that were the right size for the set, does anyone happen to remember where it was?
Thanks!

Can someone please remind me where was good for reconditioned iPhones? I know about music magpie but they seem to have become expensive and my elderly father needs a new phone (he understands iPhones!) thank you!

we used backmarket.co.uk, was happy with them

I've just bought one for my daughter off giffgaff. I went through topcashback and there was £35 cashback for it too. It was not perfectly clean, but works and good condition. Was a iphone xr for about £160.

Thank you @Daimyum ! Much appreciated

I received my new (to me) one from Music Magpie yesterday. I really rate them.

Thank you @NoWordForFluffy - we’ve used them before and rate them they just felt to be expensive, maybe costs have just gone up everywhere

Both myself and my dad have had refurbished ones from Amazon recently and had no issues

Backmarket was for second hand phones. Sorry forgot to say! :)

I think it was BargainMax?

I remember lots of posts about these before Christmas. I think most people said ant bundles of fat quarters were a perfect fit for them. Just Google and it brings up loads of stuff

If anybody has Stormtrooper fans, I've just managed to get a Stormtrooper note book from the Co-op for £2.50. It was in the clearance section so not sure if they will all have them or not but worth a look.

Got a glossybox code for 20% off, SPRINGTREAT. Not sure if its account specific but worth a try if you are making a putchase.

I've just got back from seeing My Fair Lady with the cheap M&S sparks tickets that someone on the Xmas thread posted about. It was brilliant! I would never have found them on my own.

I also went to my fair lady last night such a bargain, enjoyed it but was a bit long 😂

Yes I thought the second half was long. Brilliant acting though.

Hi, scrawlrbox are doing buy one get two free at the moment on previous boxes. They have some great boxes with quality materials available now. My son is arty so I’ve bought some to put up for him and gifts for nephews.

That sounds good. Thank you!
