You're welcome

According to the friendly guy at my local Aldi (when questioning where the play kitchens were when I turned up at 8:56) there were queues outside the store before it opened and people were buying multiples of the bigger items (maybe to resell on eBay, who am I to say 🤷🏻‍♀️). One woman bought 7 kitchens! It might be what has happened here but more than likely it is as you say, it’s not big enough. You would think they would stick each store in proportion to size though and so you would have seen some bits still!

That is weird

This is the reason I had to go first thing, so I could avoid the vultures snapping everything up to try and spin a profit on. It's so frustrating that people do that

It is obvious that this is my first rodeo with the toy special buys, next time I will not be casually strolling in 56 minutes after opening with DS2 in his pram.

Just looked on eBay out of curiosity and they have started to appear.….cuthbert cake for £20!

Please rap my knuckles if alcohol is not allowed!
Amazon have a £9 voucher on cases of McGuigan's wine which takes it down to £28 and a further £4 off if you opt for subscribe and save. Just ordered 6 bottles of white and 6 red for £48 and can cancel the subscription once they arrive.
Good for splitting for those wine and biscuits household gifts.

Ooo.. yes please!

@Georgieporgie29 what colour did you go for? My delivery just turned up, exactly a week and a day after placing the order. Kicking myself as didn’t get the 30% discount, I had a code for 20% but I love a bargain.

@stepfordwifey im jealous of your haul anyway! I've not had a chance to go (Storm Badet and have kids with me 😂) but was going to head out later to have a nosey but now I'm wondering if there will be nothing there. I quite fancied the doughnuts! 🙈

@Mentaldays there weren't many left in the xs size, I would have liked the blue one your dd has but unfortunately no stock in that size so I went for the other blue one (I think it's called azure). Thanks again for all your help I really appreciate it.

No way?! That's so shocking!

Good wine tip Goodgrief. There's three choices at least for reds with differing discounts

Not sure if already mentioned but Asda have Bluey's caravan at £15. This is half price to most other places.
Picked ours up today. Looks a decent toy!

@Qwerty21 I'm sending dp for 2x rc trains too! Sent him a link already.

I was in Aldi at 9am and completely forgot it started today 🫣

@mummymummymummummum

@Qwerty21 looks like they do have the remote control train. I’m a little sad my ds is now too old because they look lovely toys.

I spotted the treehouse for £45 in the clearance at Sainsburys if that helps anyone

I've seen a Cuthbert on ebay at £31, another one with a BIN of £40. And some of the food trays they had in my local Aldi at £10 each are on there at £20. It's appalling really. I dropped in there earlier and got a couple of boxes of toy groceries, and their little wooden supermarket. The kids are going to love it, and that's them mostly sorted now.

I managed to get my wooden kitchen from Aldi in Nuneaton.
They had just brought the last 2 trolleys out according to the man when I was cheeky and asked if I could have one.
It was the only thing I wanted so I'm really pleased. The other stuff looks fab but I did t want to go overboard until I see how he plays with it.
Thank you for those that mentioned the Aldi wooden toys my nan is now off my back with what to buy my little boy for Christmas! X

Thank you!!

I ended up going for a different throw so couldn't use the throw specific code but saved £20 with the over £50 spend which is amazing :D

Do people do the same at the lidl toy releases, does anyone know? Will there be none left if we're not there first thing?

I always get the bubble bars from Lush instead of bath bombs, they're still expensive but I got around 8-10 good bubbly baths from each snow fairy bubble bar this year.

any links for the amazon wine, plz? can't find it!

Thanks

This is genius!
