Does anyone have an Argos code they would be willing to share? Unfestively, we need a new microwave...

Apologies if this isn't the right place to post but I'm sure I recall some Hype bargains being mentioned on last years threads. I've used the search facility but can't seem to find anything. Does anyone know if Hype has good offers before Christmas on their hoodie etc? DS wasn't interested last year but I think they'd be well recieved this year. Thanks in advance.

I can nip to Sainsburys tomorrow to see if they have the tree house in stock @Qwerty21? They also had a spaceship of some sort and a sonic set but the sonic set wasn't that great a price imo.

The watercolour brush pens a previous poster mentioned are back to £3.99 again on Amazon.

@poostinkywink I am sure I saw the 5 pack of ruffles in the Heron in the village last week. I am going tomorrow, do you want me to get some and post them to you? Hopefully a padded envelope will protect them from getting squashed!

Is there a link for these? My Dd would love these

GriseldaClement · 19/10/2023 21:47

Creativepeak store on Amazon for the watercolour pens 😊
sorry can’t do links! Thank you for sharing the deal

poostinkywink · 19/10/2023 21:55

WhatICallMyUsername Thats very kind of you. I’m just keeping the cost down really though. They do sell them on amazon but with an inflation - so I can get them but just seeing if I can find them for normal prices in a shop somewhere first before I fork out on the small increase. Apart from wanting them for my Xmas gift, I do love them myself and got a bit twitchy when I realised my Poundland didn’t have them anymore, so I have to find a regular local stockist 😬 Thank you so much for your kind offer though ❤️

They currently have 3 for 2 on sale items and there was code EXTRA20 for another 20% on top but not sure if that's finished now. Quite a few hoodies for around a tenner each in the girls section. I can't remember what the deal was last year, they have promotions so often it's hard to know what the best deal is

paintyhands · 19/10/2023 22:04

Yes, search Creative Peak for the watercolour pens. I noticed a 24 pack is £5.99 too.

Was the spaceship the 3 in 1 roller coaster rocket one, for £45? If so I would be extremely grateful if you could. May I PM you?

Missed a bargain on ebay and I'm gutted! I'd messaged the seller asking how much they wanted for make an offer, and whilst waiting for a reply (for over 24 hours) the item sold 😭
Son loves Disney Luca (he's asd) so I'd found some figures, looks like they sold for £5 but other sellers are selling same set for £40. Moral of the story.....I'm an idiot and shouldn't have messaged, i should have just made an offer!

Sorry to moan guys, I just need to vent my frustration at missing out on a bargain

MerylSqueak · 19/10/2023 22:31

@Shufflebumnessie sign up for their emails. I used to get them and they sent offers pretty frequently

Oh no. Have you looked at the my busy books? My dds loved them when they were younger. We had so many for the various phases (perfect for cake toppers too!)

Keep an eye on vinted too, I sold loads of disney store figures sets a few months ago for around £5-6 and I saw loads when I was listing.

For anyone who plays football. https://gaintheedgeofficial.com/

Up to 80% off gain the edge but only 5 hours left. The grippy socks usually £30, 4 pairs for £22. Sock sleeves reduced too.

Thanks for this! Just got four pairs. You can also add a pair of shin pads for free. Not bad for £25 delivered, they were on my sons list!

Thank you for this! I have actually looked at this book but quite a few reviews saying the figures don't stand and poor paint quality sadly :(

I've not looked at vinted but have preciously tried to purchase and my bank kept blocking any attempts to purchase from there so I've given up!!

@LemonFrosting Is it worth sharing the ebay listing so we can all keep an eye out for the set?

ChristmasFanatic · 20/10/2023 00:05

Lego space coaster is top of DS list - mum and I rang every Sainsbury's within a 50 mile radius and none have them in stock. Gutted! What an absolute bargain.

fourelementary · 20/10/2023 00:24

I have Lakeland discount vouchers including the one off heated throws. Pm me if interested.

kkr168 · 20/10/2023 00:34

@LemonFrosting there are a few sets on Facebook marketplace for under £10, if there's none local to you I'd try messaging & asking if they'd be willing to post

Xmasgifts · 20/10/2023 01:30

@Qwerty21 are we the same people lol. Both after bean bags, both done a wooden toy run and both wanting the train from Lidl 😂

What a shame you didn’t get the slide! Would be happy to post if there are any when I next go but I bet they will have gone, and the weight might not make it such a bargain!

I think someone else asked but does anyone know if people get there early for Lidl?

Lolandwoody · 20/10/2023 06:03

FizzyOranges · 19/10/2023 17:29

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

@DamitJamit I am buying one of those throws if you still have the code please? Thanks

I'm not on Facebook so I can't actually access market place unfortunately!

These are the two sets that I'm trying to track down!
