Christmas bargain prequel 2023 thread 2 - the one without a side order of chips

[InDreamland]

Hope everyone is okay with me starting this new thread off. Thread 1 is at 992 so thought best get a new one up and running so we don't miss any bargains.

With thanks to @sideorderofchips for all your work keeping these prequel threads going. Hope everything is okay and you'll be joining us again soon to reclaim your fab threads.

The prequel threads are kept going through the year in the run up to @reastie taking over for the Christmas bargains threads late summer/autumn.

I've been looking for cheap bath bombs. Finally came across some at Wilko which I thought were a bargain at 60p (and they're a good size, not the mini ones) but in my local store some of the colours were down to just 25p! Great stocking fillers!

The pokemon advent calendar linked to a couple of days ago is now down to £15.76 (lowest price in 30 days, apparently RRP £59.99)

POKÉMON DELUXE HOLIDAY CALENDAR - Features 15 2-Inch Battle Figures with Special Finish and Nine Diorama Accessories https://amzn.eu/d/7HftoKz

Many thanks all 🙂

Music Magpie is where I've had them from. SUNNY15 gives an extra 15% on eBay at the moment (and stacks with 3% TopCashback).

football down from £20 to £6 at Studio

Although the RRP is a bit inflated this is a bargain! I paid £30 last October for very similar. I have bought and stashed, thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior!

Anyone seen any dinosaur bargains got 2 party gifts to sort.

This Dino fossil game is reduced - says age 4+

What age range @lancslass17 . The entertainer have some e Dino reductions

Sorry should have said age 5

The vanilla Burts bees cracker is down to £4.03 - some of us got these as teacher gifts last xmas and they’re quite small (the size to fit a lip balm + little tin of hand salve).
I’m hesitating to buy as I’m sure they did go down to £3.50ish at one point last year…

Possibly a result of Phillip Schofe's demise, The Cube board game is down to £8ish on Amazon. Had it on a watchlist for quite a while and it's always been £25+

Another board game called What Next with fab reviews is 60% off down to £15 so I've gone for that too. It's collaborative like Pandemic so good for all ages together

I’ve just checked my account - got it for £3.33 last year

Lots of dinosaur themed things on Rex London, and a few things in their sale.

I've just placed a big order of things from the Rex London sale.

I’ve placed an order with Rex, too. Thank you @InDreamland

Oh thanks for the Rex London sale heads up. Ordered a couple of bits. The gardening set with seeds is cute. My 8yo will love that.

Is there free delivery on Rex London by any chance? I know the items are bargains but I hate delivery!

I've rarely got free delivery from them but you can select slower delivery, up to 3 weeks during sale period, if you don't need the items quickly, which is a couple of quid cheaper.

Tesco are doing Disney heroes board game for £5.99 down from £25 atm

Tomagotchi down to £12.99 on Amazon (only in certain colours). Just bought a few for nieces and sisters in law who love 90s toys/memorabilia.

Thanks @InDreamland 😊

@InDreamland thank you for sharing the Rex sale. I got quite a lot and used the £1 cheaper delivery.

Ee! I'm excited now I'm properly starting to Christmas shop. I love that smart buying across the year means I can be really generous but without the financial stress (and the December stress!)

Thabk you to whoever pointed out the FurReal friends Cinnamon pony having 70% off on Amazon. First Xmas present purchased (unless I decide it's for her birthday, which is before then..).

We decided to purchase our youngest a strider balance bike and pedal kit for Christmas.

Amazon has it for £130 currently

Strider - 14x Kids Balance Bike, No Pedal Training Bicycle, Lightweight Frame, Adjustable Seat and Handlebars, Optional Pedal Kit, for Children Ages 3 to 7 Years Old - Tangerine amzn.eu/d/cWjh6LF

It's cheapest I've ever seen it. Quick look online and managed to get the pedal kit for £30 on eBay.
