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.

Glad the tik tok link was helpful! I really like baked in so hope I'm wrong!

Thanks @woodwaj the mug mixes are a great bargain, 20% off if you buy four and the 25% off over £5 spend!

Shame I missed your Argos voucher but made me look elsewhere and found what I was buying cheaper so result/expensive evening! 😆

The harijuku sets at bargainmax are reduced again. £3.49 and an extra 25% off with code spring25. I've not purchased any but I remember them being popular on here at Christmas

@WidowedMum the cookie mug mix is 🤤🤤

How do you get the TikTok vouchers for baked in please?

@woodwaj Good to know, I bought a couple for ‘gifts’ 👀

@BippityBobbityBoo I used the TikTok vouchers button on the shopping cart page, think you get a lot more off if it’s your first order.

M&S have their summer beauty bag for £25 when you spend £30 on clothing, beauty or homeware. Contents are worth £155 apparently. Might be nice for gifts/to split up for advent calendars.

Thanks for the heads up on Bargain Max - I’ve looked at those sets a couple of times and succumbed at that price! Bought 6 sets in total, some for the present cupboard.

@WidowedMum thank you! I needed to click shop, I was clicking the url. 8 mug cake mixes delivered for £6, postage 60p, hoping they have 2024 dates 😊

Thanks @woodwaj , I wasn't on the app so no shop button. Thought it was just baby brain 🤣

Thank you for the m&s beauty bag heads up !!

Finally spotted something and got before out of stock !

My Baked In order arrived today, ordered last Friday and shipped on Tuesday. It was very well packaged. The jam/lemon curd had dates into 2024, and the vanilla essence is dated up to November 2023.

I also bought several types of sugar, both Billington’s and Silver Spoon, but they have no use by/best before dates on them, just the manufacturer’s codes.

I ordered before the posts about TikTok, so paid their standard sale prices.

@woodwaj , who I am not quoting 😀, wondered. I think it may be telling that a baking company is selling off such basics as sugar, but I know nothing about such things…

I hope I am wrong but it doesn't look promising does it @Yalz i bought their baking book recently, its good I would recommend for any keen young bakers!

@MerculesHorse I only know of tik tok on the app. I'm glad you figured it out because I never would have! 😀 it's very easy to shop on tik tok! I'm eyeing up freeze dried candy constantly 🤣

A lot of the kids stuff in the WH Smith sale is also on the 3 for 2 and would make good presents especially for class birthdays around the £5 mark e.g.:
Usborne book & jigsaw set
Toy Story paint your own canvas
Magic sand
Peppa Pig rock painting kit
Buzz Lightyear set
Buzz Lightyear paint your own money box
Disney princess paint your own canvas
Eric Carle book
Peppa paint your own canvas

They also have quite a few book advent calendars in the sale - Marvel, Disney, Peppa, Gruffalo etc.

Thrilled with my Bakedin order. It was delivered today. I got wire a lot of mixing bowls, some of the smaller sized plastic non slip ones and a few of the metal ones for cooking as they will come in so handy. Also got a couple of the small wooden mixing spoons and small children's rolling pins for both DDs. Going to pop the mixing bowls, spoons and rolling pins away for Christmas and make up a baking set for them. Also bought loads of the cookie and brownie mixes in the bottles, all with dates into 2024 so they can have one of those each too. Spent over £50 so got free p&p.

3 for 2 on Pandora early access if you’re signed up for My Pandora

My baked in order has arrived. Sticky toffee cookie has a best before of oct. The rainbow cookie & choc Brownie are both 2024 so they can be stocking fillers.
My banana bread bottle broke in transit 😭

Oh no, that must be messy.

I'm tempted to order more. Must resist.

Fortunately they were individually wrapped in brown paper so it was contained.
I keep wondering about ordering more too

Lisa Angel has 24% off for 24 hours with code BIRTHDAYTREAT.

Oh yes, I forgot about that, that was lucky. I got one of the banana bread ones too as an extra little gift for someone for their birthday in a few weeks.

So tempted to order more baked in. The bottles are such a good bargain. I ordered the cook book too, which I got for about £3 and its lovely

I'm so tempted yo do a baked in order but I've nowhere to store it! House is small and my Xmas stocks are already bulging so I've told myself to slow down with the bargains!!

I’ve twitched and made a baked in order- have paid £35.59 for 10 bottles of baking kits, a muffin tin, mini rolling pin and sprinkles. Pretty bargainous if I’ve got a year to use them for gifts.

My baked in order has arrived, didn't know about the tiktok thing so had to pay a fiver postage but still good value.

Mine have dates of either December 23 or April 24 so pleased with that.

I've just had an email to say they've restocked the sale items if anyone wants more, I may get more the kits are so handy for school holidays and someone said upthread about giving them as gifts I might get more for my "birthday box" I try amd keep a box of generic presents under the stairs for DC classmates etc
