Sainsbury’s had some cheap hot choc Gombe’s with marshmallows when I did my food shop on Sun. About £2 iirc

@LilLauraloo these tie die ones are real oodies sometimes with the label cut off. They are fab for all the family - adult ones fine from average sized 9 year old I'd say

dye.

The everything £5 have occasional more styles come in & out. Got a Rick & Morty one for dd a few months ago. If there's a specific design you can google the design & oodie & usually tell if it's genuine or not. Proper oodies are thicker 💚

I got a proper Oodie last year from 5poundstuff.com. They are in the VIP premium section and cost about £10. However they are probably slight seconds, and you don't know which ones are Oodie brand because they don't say, some come with tags cut out. I just looked at the Oodie website and compared the patterns so I chose one which I was pretty sure was Oodie. Mine came in an Oodies bag with the label intact. I don't know if that is helpful or not 😂

I have ordered oodies after our fake ones not last long, I bought the £39 ones for dd and I. I’m hoping they are better than our fake ones as we wear them a lot.

Did anyone register for the £1 Oodie Black Friday sale? Is it actually real 🫣

Ikea have some free Christmas family workshops, film nights and Breakfast with Santa (you buy the breakfast). This Bristol Ikea Bristol but I am sure they are nationwide.

@IHeartKingThistle

gym shark seems to the the brand of choice They do sales and black Friday deals now and again. Not the cheapest but I use the vests and hoodies and they last ages. Legging don’t suit my shape otherwise I would have them

@WhatICallMyUsername i did and received a message just now saying it goes live at 7 but am sure the site will be crazy

@TreesandRug i picked up two in Tesco for £1,25 each

@TreesandRug and image now attached

B&m and home bargains have loads of hot chocolate bombs as well as floating marshmallow toppers, hot chocolate mixes etc

Thanks @LilLauraloo I wasn't sure if it was real as no one has mentioned it on here! I'd completely forgotten until they emailed. I'll probably forget at 7pm anyway 🤣

@WhatICallMyUsername and @LilLauraloo - the site is already crashing so I am not hopeful😹😹😹.

I have so many Snuddies from primark, (various thicknesses), and a real Oodie via 5 pound stuff, that I think I have a problem 😹. I wear my real Oodie at night when it gets colder - it’s too warm for the day.

As well as checking the patterns on the website you can usually tell by the pockets. Oodie pockets are really wide and go across most of the Oodie length wise.

@Dee1224 I was trying to get ahead of the game and register my address on my account and can't even do that 🤣

The Oodie I got from 5 pound stuff last year was a genuine oodie. Bloody heavy thing - very cosy. You could see where the tags hadn’t been cut out properly.

I’ve just ordered another so thank you for sharing!

@Justonedayatatime11 if you need any more or if anyone else needs something out of stock at John Lewis, click ‘check in store stock’ then on any store with stock.

Then click ‘Request collection or delivery’ and fill in the form. They will call you and arrange to post the item. Simple but genius! I can’t wait for other shops to follow suit 😃

I also bought coffee creams like this!

Re the Quidco £20 bonus on £50 toy spend, does anyone know if I ordered from Argos could I use nectar points towards the payment or would this make the payment track below £50 & then invalidate the cash back bonus??? Hope that makes sense!

Sold out in 1 minute 😭

Managed to add a £1 black oodie to my
Trolley and start check out, half way through I got a sold out message. Gutted

Well that was short lived!
The £1 Oodie sold out in ten seconds!

The £1 oodie flew got one in my cart and added to queue to check out and then flashed up sold out

Lol how many do you think they had for £1 🤣

Same happened to me. Clicked the link at 7pm got onto the site, Oodie in my cart, said checkout wait time was 2 minutes then came up as sole out at 7.01.
