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.

Yes bebe have money off codes this weekend for the bank holiday. You need to be a member but it's easy to join. I think it's £10 off £50 and £25 off £100. Codes are on the website front page, think it's 10OFF50 and 25OFF100.

Has anyone got any RSPB shop codes I want to stock up on bird seed?

Typo have a sale on although they seem to have them pretty regularly. The item I was eyeing up has been £8, £20 and now £6 over the last two months. I finally went for it and got lots of things for stockings - shower speakers, phone stands, notebooks, sguish toys, water bottles. Postage free over £35 I think

Did anyone else order the M&S beauty box ?

Mine has arrived and I am pleased with it but....I just cannot unscrew the nail varnish!

I have tried with my kitchen jar gadget and everything.
Just wondering if I got a dodgy bottle ??

Got a few things ordered from here. Thank you.

@bizzey put it in a mug of boiled water up to the base of the lid, leave in for a couple of minutes and it should open then.

Yay I found you all, I haven’t been on this or the last thread due to a rough pregnancy and c section but now I’m ready to go. 🎄

DD ordered herself some playmobil with some birthday money. This set is £6.81 and has 3 people, a dog and 2 boats and came in a pleasingly big box. Good for present cupboard, or a nice wee gift for children.

Don't forget about changing Tesco clubcard vouchers to rewards before the 13 June. They are worth 3x as much until then and only 2x from 14 June.

The vouchers are valid for 12 months so you don't have to use them straight away. I've just got a years worth of Disney+ on my vouchers.

You can get a lot of magazine subscriptions which I've used for presents before.

Is it definitely always a year? I thought somethings were less

Show quote history

There is a message at the top of the clubcard website that says they've extended all the vouchers bought before 14 June to a year.

Cuwins · 30/05/2023 14:57

@Blixem thank you. I didn't see that on the app.

Givemeahigh · 30/05/2023 15:19

Just had Amazon cancel my monster truck due to incorrect pricing! Did seem too good to be true!

Yalz · 30/05/2023 18:39

I haven't been in M&S Food department for weeks, so I don't know if these offers have just happened, but today I saw several "ambient" items priced at 10% of the original price eg, spiced coconut chicken bowls for 35p, bb 3/2024.

Those cook in the microwave so might be good if you're looking for things to donate to food banks.

Out of interest where are people spending their Clubcard vouchers? I have a lot and a will do zizzi, I have bought a family railcard and will buy a voucher for next years but other than that I’m not really sure what to get

I have done some for longleat today as we are staying near later in the year. Recently used some for a sealife centre. My sister is using some for drusillas soon.

BonesBrennanz · 30/05/2023 21:01

I might go for the Disney plus subscription as we already have it and it says you can add it to an existing one. Then some pizza express vouchers as the kids are always happy to go there.

sittingonacornflake · 30/05/2023 21:14

Butlin's and pizza express here.

Just ordered from baked in, thanks. Will put a bundle of things together for my daughters birthday

MerculesHorse · 31/05/2023 21:13

@Notlongnow1 that's a shame! I've not ordered yet, do we all think it's a fairly safe bet for now? We actually do need something on their site now
