Any way to get a discount at TK Maxx? I can see 2% cashback via TopCashback, but that seems to be the best I can find.

evtheria · 19/10/2023 12:32

PS. Lego Dreamzzz Treehouse also significantly reduced on Amazon, plus an additional discount coupon:
£62.99 + 15% discount of £9.45 = £53.54

Hello any ideas of what to buy 5 female work colleagues in thirties/forties previous gifts Turtle Dove gloves, big Lindt chocolate ball… Looking to spend around £10 each 🙏

The Valentte diffusers? I got 5 for £40 with free delivery when they were doing the relevant offer recently. They smell gorgeous!! You'll need to get gift boxes for them though as they send two per box.

Someone earlier on this thread described a clever way to also get other free gifts at the same time so it might be worth checking the early part of the thread for that...

They seem to cycle around between offers (it's BOGOF on refills at the mo) so I imagine the BOGOF on diffusers will pop up again soon. To get the fifth one free, use code FREEDIFFUSER (I think?) at check out.

@Qwerty21 I suspect they’re not as strong scented as Lush, judging from bath crumble I had last year, although the scrub seemed better.
@cymrumam I’ve checked and it’s definitely my referral link, but I can’t see if it works myself. Perhaps try the suggestion on the other thread about the email pop up?

Thank you

Qwerty21 · 19/10/2023 12:39

Can anyone recommend a good child's beanbag? One that has a machine washable cover and is robust enough to stand kids jumping on it (because that's definitely going to happen!). Bonus points for being on offer somewhere. Thank you

Anyone have any activity tracker suggestions for a 10yr old? The got to use grandparents Fitbit on holiday recently and loved it (and made walks less moany!!) They do not have their own phone and won’t for at least a year although I wouldn’t object to any activity watch being able to make limited calls or texts (unsure if this is more a feature for younger kids smart watches though and we’d need something “not babyish”). Obviously a bargain is preferable (Black Friday?) TIA

We like the Xiaomi range. Robust, cheap replacement straps and rechargeable battery that lasts weeks. I got mine from Amazon with Black Friday discount. I much prefer it to the Fitbit that I previously had.

I came on here to say Argos have it at £63.34 and, if you can get a £6 off £60 code, that would take it down to £57.34. But your deal is even better @evtheria

Argos also have the Lego Dreamzzz Nightmare Shark Ship reduced to £80 (from £120) which is the best price I've seen it anywhere in the past month. With a code for £7 off £75, that takes it down to £73. I'm so chuffed to have got it for that - thanks so much @Polywhirl for the code!🙏

Thanks also to others who offered codes to me. This one from @IggyAce is still available if anyone needs it: ASEJ6GFEYA3J. for £6 off a £60+ spend.

Inastatus · 19/10/2023 12:51

If anyone is still after a £10 off £50 Boden code I’ve got this one

Random request but anyone seen any bargainous Lightning McQueen crocs?

Please let me know if you find these as I am after the same!

Went to my local Aldi this morning. Not a single wooden toy to be seen. Felt confused and when at the checkout I noticed a screen advertising the wooden toy sale from Sunday!

Daimyum · 19/10/2023 13:11

The bubble drink sets were half price in the reduced area of my local asda this morning. Dates ok too, Sept 24.

Got to Aldi on opening. No sign of the chicken nuggets but managed to get the coffee set and macarons. Plenty of grandparents looking very pleased with their haul! Such lovely stuff and it does get played with.

Sorry had to giggle at the seriousness of "no sign of the chicken nuggets" 😂 @reastie vote for next thread title.

stepfordwifey · 19/10/2023 14:06

Man, I was on a mission to get those nuggets! Don't think they were even stocked in my branch. I spent a happy morning showing my Nana haul to my friend. The coffee set is adorable though.

They had lots at mine. If they've any left when I go next would you like me to get you one?

livingthegoodlife · 19/10/2023 14:37

Show quote history

Yeah it was very strange. I was in there at 9am after the nursery drop. They hardly sold out of everything. TBH I didn't ask but I was in there a while picking up other bits and not a single wooden toy to be seen. Maybe my aldi isn't big enough 🤔

my contribution is that WHITE FOX currently have 30% off everything with code TREAT.

dd has been desperate for one of their hoodies but at £50+ i was not getting one but the 30% off convinced me!

Thank you for this. Hoody purchased for DD who will be very happy
