Not Christmas related sorry but it would really help a stressful situation. Work colleague has an autistic son who will only use these cups but there are discontinued.
if anyone would be willing to pass on or sell theirs that would be amazing thank you.. she just missed this auction

@lifelongfrugaleer

I found these, but they seem massivover-priced:

https://gbp-uk.desertcart.com/products/460444056-tommee-tippee-free-flow-insulated-cup-10-ounce-2-count-colors-will-vary-546005

It says £18 on the first page, then £86!

If not a scam, it may be worth messaging the company.

Aldi have got their version of these instore again for about £15 from Thursday next week. I've got 4 sets and can confirm they are lovely

msssm · 02/11/2023 17:52

That's a much better price @RainbowZebraWarrior

pasinphoebe · 02/11/2023 17:57

Thanks for everyone’s tips for lego figures. Did anyone try for a free Birchbox? I ordered one and it was free / 0.00 in my basket (this was maybe 10 days ago) I’ve yet to receive anything but more importantly today £17 was taken from my account?!

RainbowZebraWarrior · 02/11/2023 18:01

I have some of the Canterbury Bells ones and also these pickwick ones that stay up in the hallway all year round. Pic for anyone thinking of getting them from Aldi next week. This will be the third Christmas mine have done.

The National Trust shop has a free delivery code - FEELINGFESTIVE for free standard delivery from the 2nd-16th November.

Ooh, thank you for this - I've been wanting to order their Christmas pudding flavoured chocolate bar but the delivery would have cost more than the chocolate itself!

FollowerOfKushiel · 02/11/2023 18:09

Can I ask, does anyone know of a discount for Joe Browns please?

AW23UK15 should give 15% off and free delivery for Celtic & Co.

Hi, there's a Facebook group called Little blue cup. They just deal with finding items like this for children/ adults with send. Maybe worth a try, hope you get some found.

Itsfridaynightok · 02/11/2023 18:47

Has anyone seen any deals on Posca pens ? Thanks

PlanBea · 02/11/2023 18:54

@lifelongfrugaleer there's one of the blue stripy ones on Vinted? Can't spot the red one though

Looking for a weighted blanket for dd10 if any ones sees any. Not sure what a good price is

Theacademicswife · 02/11/2023 19:20

@Muggcake there are some reasonably priced ones in The Range.
I got my teenage DS one there a few months ago for £18.99 and he loves it.

Honeyandwine · 02/11/2023 19:39

I know temu isn't for everyone but I ordered a fake crimpit and it is amazing. The best thing is that it cuts bread at the same time as crimping it so I use any bread. Highly recommend.

Have you signed up for the Hobbycraft birthday club? I got mine and used that towards the podcast pens x

GettingOldWithoutStyle · 02/11/2023 19:50

Does anyone know of a discount for JoJo maman Bebe please?

PlanBea · 02/11/2023 19:53

@GettingOldWithoutStyle I have 10% off full price if it's any use? Send me a PM and I'll send it across

MammaRoly · 02/11/2023 19:57

Don't even remember buying the Cartwright and Butler biscuits 🤣 (may be because of 🍷) but they arrived today and look like they will make a nice present. Thank you all for the recommendation x

Theraffarian · 02/11/2023 20:04

@pasinphoebe the Birchbox offer is subscription based , you had to cancel the next box before the next payment for the second box went out on 2nd November. I think we are all still waiting to receive the free box still .

pasinphoebe · 02/11/2023 20:09

thank you @Theraffarian I did turn off the subscription-y bit maybe two days ago? I’m not sure whether to email them 🤔

25% off First Shop Over £60 plus 3 Month Free Smart Pass at Ocado

Ive just used the above offer code with a new email address to get free delivery and £15 off a £60 shop. Not valid on some things like alcohol but I’m pleased with my basket of some normal food and some christmas goodies to put away.

nopuppiesallowed · 02/11/2023 20:30

Anyone have any codes for Lego? I'm looking for The Viking Ship and the Midgard Serpent, but it's a bit over budget. Thank you!

lifelongfrugaleer · 02/11/2023 20:34

The really expensive one comes from UEA !
thanks for the vinted link sadly that ones is sold and the Facebook info

gawditswindy · 02/11/2023 20:38

@bizzey Look Fantastic often have good deals with Top Cashback. I've had lots of cashback from them.

My fancy Amazon biscuits also arrived today. They look lovely for a teacher gift. (Hope she doesn't get loads!)
