forgot who asked but for an 11 year old that’s just starting in skincare then simple is a great option. Cheap and cheerful, they also do a range of serums. You can often find the basic moisturiser, cleanser, toner at places like home bargains for £3-£4 each

Can anyone tell me how Quidco works please? Just joined it and done a purchase for argos over £50 when will I get the cash back and does that go to the card I paid with? 😊

Did you pay on a desktop or a mobile?, did you activate the quidco app before the purchase? My top cashback and my quidco flash here when I go onto a website- I have to click on the and activate them to ensure they 'track' my orders. Dont forget to check the site for deals

they have a deal on toys but you must 'opt in'

I done it on my mobile, I clicked through to argos from the quid co website. I’ve only just joined quid co but did select opt in for the £20 cash back offer.

when I click on activity this comes up (see photo) hoping I’ve done it right 🤞

The LOL Doll 3 for 2 is on again in Smyths.

yes that looks right!

It can be very slow but sometimes fast, its dependant on the retailer opposed to quidco itself. you can withdraw it into a paypal account or swap it for vouchers

Topcashback is a little fast (cant use both at the same time) and only works on a desktop.

I've used the opt in £20 on a £50 spend on Quidco today at the Lego store. There's an additional 15% cashback, plus £1.50 for signing up to the Lego life magazine (free)

I ended up spending £62.98 and got free postage and a free Christmas Fun VIP add on pack, and £30.95 cashback. Result!

So I have been using topcashback through my phone. But you can't order things through apps, has to be the online version :)

Snapfish are offering 50% off cards until 12/11with code BBCR1123

Allbeauty have 20% off when buyingtwo advent calendarswith code ADVENT - also various Black Friday codes, but I think you can only use one per order

Cheeky Wipes havebamboo make up wipes and eye make up removal padsin their Tuesday deals, code 10tues

You can use the eBay app with Topcashback, but you have to go to the Topcashback website, and then it gives the option to continue with the eBay app.

Oh great so glad I’ve done it right. I didn’t know about top cash back. How do you mean you can’t use both at the same time? 😊

Tom Fletcher's latest Christmasaurus book is currently half price on Amazon:

A Christmasaurus Carol: A brand-new festive adventure for 2023 from number-one-bestselling author Tom Fletcher (The Christmasaurus) amzn.eu/d/8lwwFMU

They often both do deals on the same brands/websites but you can only track your purchase through one, they sort of cancel each other out (becuase they are in competion with each other!) so have both and see whos offering the best deal (usually TopCashBack)

Just noticed this has now come up (see photo) but nothing has changed with the £20 thing

Also just says £0.35 as tracked cash back not £20.35 is that normal?

give it time, it honestly can take months, I have £141 pending from a year ago :|

The Valentte two-for-one offer on all their essential oil diffusers is back for 48 hours (including the Bergamot and Lemon that someone on here was wanting).

Join the newsletter via a pop-up on their website first to get a code for a free diffuser.

And, if you go to the page via this link, you can get a free candle if your order is over £35. I don't know if this can be used at the same time as the free diffuser code, but worth a shot?

Note:

• both BOGOF diffusers come in one box so, unless you're keeping one for yourself, you'd need to sort out extra packaging for one of them.

-there's a place on the order/check-out page for notes for the order, where you can ask for neutral shade reeds if you'd prefer them to black ones. -I also would try asking for extra Valentte info cards, so you have enough to include one with each diffuser if you want to give them as gifts.

Can't remember who was looking for a Wok but we got a really good Ken Hom one from Dunelm and it was a decent price I believe

No way! 😂😮 might have it back in time for next Xmas then
