Just picked up a half price fleece jumper for dh (bday not Xmas) in a regatta section in our local garden centre (£26 down to £13)

my onthatass order came but I’m still in the trial period so can’t cancel - just hoping I can cancel before they charge me 🤞

@WingingIt101 I am happy to be corrected but I don’t think Next do any discount codes. I’ve def never seen one.

A couple of months ago Next sent me a single use discount code for £10 off a £20 spend. No idea why as I'm not a vip member and have never received a discount code off them!
I was made up though as bought ds a joules waterproof coat for school rrp £40,then reduced in the sale, then the code worked on top so got it for £8!!!!

@Wait4nothing - you need to cancel in the trial period or they will charge you!

They (obviously) don't make it easy but look under your account and you'll find a bit to manage your subscription and cancel it

Ahh no worries - wasn't sure if they did student discount or blue light card maybe! Never mind!

Does anyone know if Ancestry DNA kits or similar ever get a reduction pre Christmas or on Prime events etc? Currently £69. I know it's a bit niche but it's been suggested by the recipient as an idea!

DrLucyVanPelt · 07/10/2023 19:10

Naledi

This keeps popping up on Facebook, can't personally recommend but gets good reviews and some lovely jewellery on there

gawditswindy · 07/10/2023 19:18

To the PP who was asking about the Chronicles of Narnia - the set is in The Works for £10. Not a particularly pretty version I wouldn't imagine though.

Silk pillow cases, I really like Blissy ones, they aren’t cheap but last and are very luxurious. I buy one every Black Friday sale, they do take a while to come through. Also not too keen on Jasmin silk but I’ve only had the full silk ones from there.

Thank you @Martinisarebetterdirty can you remember what sort of discount they do on Black Friday?

TheCrow · 07/10/2023 19:42

Some great bargains for Revolution eyeshadow palettes in Farmfoods (of all places!) They had the small cookie palette for £1.99, medium palettes for £2.99 (the tropical one in the photo, a bright pink one and another one) and the xxplicit palette for £3.99 which is huge! I got the big one for DD11 who is just starting to get into makeup but I'm going to go back tomorrow and get one for myself as well. They had revolution makeup sponges and some brushes etc as well next to the tills but each till has different things so it's worth checking them all

I'm pretty sure we bought the 23 and me DNA kit because it was greatly reduced around Black Friday. This was 2 or 3 years ago.

jamrolypolyandcustard · 07/10/2023 19:47

Thinking of prime day.. I have my eye on the marble rush sets, do these generally go down in price? 😁

Inspirationpending · 07/10/2023 19:55

Yep, they definitely get reduced and they’re a great gift idea. I’ve bought loads of them, never at full price. I think they go down to about £40.

ivelostmytrousers · 07/10/2023 20:22

Not a huge reduction but some of the story orchestra books have reductions, including the nutcracker, my kids (3&5) really like them

I can't get the code to work on any bag, Christ knows what I'm doing wrong 😂

DrLucyVanPelt · 07/10/2023 20:29

Thanks for the info on the dna kits, will keep my eyes peeled for reductions

Loulouli · 07/10/2023 20:29

@liveeverysecond I'd be careful with Blissy the reviews on trustpilot are pretty bad.

Inspirationpending · 07/10/2023 20:32

HoHoFuckingHo oh no I managed to get one of the minis for £14.50 with code

mumonthehill · 07/10/2023 20:33

We print balls have boxing gloves for a £1!

HoHoFuckingHo · 07/10/2023 20:35

I'll keep trying then! Wonder if they've taken it off if it wasn't supposed to be on clearance items, but it won't work on any bag on the site at the minute

HoHoFuckingHo · 07/10/2023 20:36

Who knows!

@DrLucyVanPelt another one advising you hang on. They'll definitely come down - I've bought them the last couple of years for £ 49.99 for certain.

HoHoFuckingHo · 07/10/2023 20:42

Yeah the top banner is still advertising as is the image advertisement which links to both outlet and clearance bags so I don't get it 🤷🏼‍♀️

HoHoFuckingHo · 07/10/2023 20:46

Okay it's applying now but not to clearance bags, only the ones that are outlet(full price)
