@Lovemusic82 our local Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and B&M all have the mint oranges. All still sitting at £1.50 at present so I am limiting myself until someone drops them to £1, but I can confirm that they are nicer than the regular oranges. (I may have sampled one several already)

I might have to buy a few as chances are they won’t make it till Christmas. I love mint chocolate way more than orange. I will raid Tesco tomorrow.

Ewock · 08/11/2023 19:05

I also may have sampled one and can agree they are delicious. I like both mint and orange. Also waiting for them to come down to £1, then will need dh to hide them!

Blessedbethefruitz · 08/11/2023 19:07

Saw these for cry baby seekers. We have the dino ones from the works (£10 there). They're an excellent size for small toddlers!

dramalamma · 08/11/2023 19:15

Has anyone had a despatch notice from Ulster Weavers yet? I've had an order confirmation last week but nothing since.

@Claramay78 that was me!! It seems there are dark chocolate toblerones around but not anywhere near me!!! Anyway the good news is a wonderful mumsnetter is posting me one! So the quest for a dark chocolate toblerone can be laid to rest for another year - thank you to everyone who has been searching and thanks to the person who is sending one my way - you know who you are 💐

If you have Asda rewards they are doing 75p cash back on chocolate oranges of all varieties. But just checked my app & it says this is ending soon…

AnotherOne4 · 08/11/2023 19:54

After today's announcement of Caramac bars no longer being made, I've been asked to get some 🙄
Anyone got any ideas? 🙏(Preferably online, as I can't get to shops till wkd)

Thank you so much for this, I have virgin and I never knew 😊 have downloaded the app now.

If you buy it from Asda then it’s a star product and you get 75p back in your cash pot so they work out half price. I’ve just checked my app to see if the offer is still on and it says 7 days left

Yay, glad you’ve got one! I checked QD on Monday for you but they were sold out. I can stand down now 😂

I wanted to do this yesterday when I went to Asda to replace the stocking filler I rage-ate on Sunday afternoon but they were completely sold out! Must pop back before the offer ends.

Georgieporgie29 · 08/11/2023 20:02

@ClaraLane oh wow. They had them in at my Asda on Saturday so hopefully it’s just a case of waiting for a delivery but yep you’ll have to stock up!

WhyDoesItAlways · 08/11/2023 20:05

Are the mint chocolate oranges actually both mint and orange flavour? I just can't imagine it, I've had orange juice after brushing my teeth before and it's gross.

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 08/11/2023 20:06

@WhyDoesItAlways no just mint as far as i know

Elpheba · 08/11/2023 20:10

Just mint- have just eaten one for research purposes…

I went to my local shop and bought 7 today 😂 they had loads in so if I get more I don't mind posting you some?

MayaTheBusyBee · 08/11/2023 20:12

Boots let me order two wax melt burners and two melts for £10. Hope they will honour it

After inspiration please! After a family bereavement on my side; and illness on my ex husband's I've landed the job of buying presents from both sides of the family for my girls aged 12 and 7.
All suggestions of gifts I can get are totally welcomed.

Plus sure it's already been posted but free delivery on shop Disney tonight and also blue light discount!

IfyoushouldmeetaCrocodile · 08/11/2023 20:17

Thank you so much for all the ride-on case suggestions. @SadlyACupOfTeaDoesNotSolveEverything @hiredandsqueak @Callmesleepy @NoSquirrels and @HerInfiniteVariety
Unfortunately they are all too big for Tui size limit, except the Stokke which is a travel bed so no room for her things. The only one I couldn't check is the Jurni as I can't find anywhere that actually sells them.
The great thing is though that I hadn't come across most of those options which gives me hope that there is still a possibility out there waiting to be discovered!! Thanks again for helping, I really do appreciate it.

Snowflakes2 · 08/11/2023 20:21

Are there any deals on electric blankets? I want one for my always cold teenager but I'm an anxious person and scared they will set on fire so preferably recommendations on what people already have. Thank you 🎅

Fillyfrog · 08/11/2023 20:23

May be a bit late but Shopdisney have their large soft toys on offer (amongst lots of other things) it's free delivery today, plus another 25% off, I managed to get DD a large Stitch for £18.75 delivered which she will be so chuffed with.

That's very kind of you. It's seems the world has gone crazy for them.
I'm going to try my local Co-Op on the way to work.

You don't mention a budget but could you all contribute towards a switch and some games if you don't want loads of stuff?
