Thanks @GoatsareGOAT for the title. Luckily, she was referring to the board game peeps!

In message two are the links and info from last year - if anyone has anything they'd like me to amend or add, please do tag me and I'll update.

A reminder not to post affiliate links in the thread but that MN do change amazon links shared by posters into MN affiliate links.

Please do watch the thread rather than post to mark place to make it easier for everyone to keep up and find relevant info.

@Noideawhatnext Converse have 40% off at the moment, and Topcashback is good too. 15% back if spending over £150!

Does anyone know if Converse ever do discounts? I am trying to get warm lined trainers for my 8 year old. Or if anyone has other suggestions (they should be waterproof though).

Try La Redoute. They often have big discounts and they stock Converse

Can anyone help me identify a Rubik's cube speed mat and timer? DS has requested one and whilst I really don't want to spend a lot, I don't want it to be tat that falls apart/ doesn't work

Sorry if you've already had a response @lotsofthingstolearn, I am way behind on the thread 🤣

DS has this one and is happy with it

DD has asked for the Revlon One-Step Blow-Dry Multi Styler. It's currently £42 at argos. I know nothing about this type of product lol so just wanted to check if this sounded like a good price?

LudicrousDickbiscuit · 19/11/2023 11:26

We have used the endoscopic camera for ears and throats but not once it became the drain/mouse camera.

I'm now thinking perhaps we need two 😁

Mummypete · 19/11/2023 11:31

Yes I bought the Mitre balls. My names aren’t peeling off but I do think they look a bit naff and I’m probably going to have to point it out to them that they’ve got their names on!

LudicrousDickbiscuit · 19/11/2023 11:33

I've just bought another endoscopy camera - this one which was £8.54 as there's a 50% off voucher option.

Mummypete · 19/11/2023 11:35

Is there a certain amount you have to spend with Anthropologie? It looks like I’ve successfully added the code but no money has come off.

Also looking for an Argos code, basket is sitting at £300 at the moment.

Hibernatalie · 19/11/2023 10:25

My half price apothecary wellness basket arrived - absolutely gorgeous. Thanks to the PP for posting when it was re-stocked online. £25 is a steal.

Can I ask about this, please? Where is it? Is it still available?

Yes still there - just search “apothecary gift set” in M & S online

CheesyChipsOnWembleyWay · 19/11/2023 11:47

Looks like typo Black Friday offer has started

Christmasmcchristmasface · 19/11/2023 11:50

I left stuff in my Argos basket and they emailed me a code for £6 of £60 the next day.
so perhaps log in and leave basket filled overnight and they might send something

bluebrickbutterfly · 19/11/2023 11:55

If anyone has a spare argos code for a £75 spend I’d be very grateful please. The item I want is currently oos but when it comes back I’m going to go for it.

I’ve stopped getting emails from argos for the past couple of months. I’ve checked my account settings and marketing emails are still on, but I’m not getting any and they’re not going to my junk mail either.

shinny · 19/11/2023 11:59

I’ve stopped getting anything at all on my Sparks card which is so odd as I always used to have a few offers. Wonder why. I also hope they do their countdown to Xmas which was great last year.

You might need to create an account and log in for the code to work. It’s a VIP preview.

Did you have an extra code there for additional off sale?

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 19/11/2023 12:04

Late to the thread this year as in the middle of a house Reno/move.

What are the Argos codes everyone is talking about. I order loads from them but haven't had any codes?

DS19 is after some new AirPods. I have just seen the Beats Studio buds down to £99 on Amazon Black Friday deals. Does anyone know if these are just as good as Apple AirPods.

redjoker · 19/11/2023 12:09

Tempted to get this but not sure if I should

House of Marley | Sale (thehouseofmarley.co.uk)

House of Marley (Bob's son) is a cool brand my teenagers like and the sale is really good for Black Friday - I just bought 4 pairs of the wired earbuds for plane travel but they have nicely designed airpod types too.

fishfingersandchipsagain · 19/11/2023 12:10

@BeauticianNotMagician81 snap on both counts. Argos end me plenty of marketing, but never once have they sent me a code.

And I’m also on the lookout for Apple earbuds. I’m holding out to see what comes up in the last week. Someone said Very had a discount on Apple, in addition to the new credit account discount, but I couldn’t find it.

I’m about to buy 2. not sure if i should either but they are lively gifts!!

I am also tempted by a couple of the hobo bags, but I did spot that the ones I am interested in are the same price in Next so I don’t feel that “must buy now” feeling.

I adore my endoscopy camera. Very satisfying for checking for earwax.

Saves the NHS waiting lists.

Crikey. Most of my Xmas shopping has been done on this thread.
