Thread 13 - the one with the loot from Black Friday | Mumsnet

13 - unlucky for some. Let's hope it's very lucky for us! I bought a couple of things in the Black Friday sales - an amazon stick (I'm pretty sure we...

@Igglepiggleandhisboat Do you have any tesco club card points? You can use them on Denby. Just have to pay £5 postage

Saw a few different smores kits in the Range earlier that looked really good but no price on the shelf. They were in the sweets/food section if anyone is looking for them

Thelifeofawife · 29/11/2023 20:38

@shinny I did. It was off putting and so I left it in my basket for a bit, then I decided to go ahead and got code pop up for 10% off, so as I was buying the 5 boxes it cost me £27.50 including postage. The code was EXTRA10 (not sure if it still works but worth a try)

anyone else having trouble with the boots website, and app? sooooo annoying!

keeps emptying basket and logging me out!

You are very welcome 😊

The good will and help offered here is amazing as always but am I alone in thinking this year has been pretty rubbish for bargains?

Sorry a question - has anyone found the physical Fortnite v bucks gift cards anywhere? I can see them on game online but was really looking for the 15.99 one ( no smyths near me I know they do them in there)?

I saw these today in Sainsburys.

Reepycheepy · 29/11/2023 21:06

@frecklejuice - thanks, will try the bigger sainsburies ( didn’t have them in my local where they have previously)

Yes! I've finally managed to get my order though 😤

Thanks to the person who said about the free No7 palette, my 9 year old asked for some "proper makeup" to play with but I wasn't going to pay lots of money for her to just play around so that will be perfect!

It's been dire. No dairy milk, and not really a Wow 'thing' (except maybe white stuff socks)

I also noticed this year that nobody has really mentioned Neom. Last year loads were buying the diffuser thingy must have been rubbish

Iwantniceclothes · 29/11/2023 21:14

Delurking to say how much I appreciate these threads, they've given me so many ideas and saved me a lot of money. I think I saw something a few threads ago where you could buy fossils or ammonites to break into. I didn't think I needed something like that at the time but now I do and I can't find it! Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, interestingly I saw 3 small bottles of Neom essential oil boxed for £25 in TK Maxx (usually £40). I was intrigued, yet the scents weren't at zll to my liking (2 different boxes, so 6 in total). I bought the Tisserand Xmas mix of 3 bottles for £12 & they're divine.

SweetPeaPods · 29/11/2023 21:16

@RainbowZebraWarrior there doesn't seem to be as many neom bargains. I was looking for a set for my sister but really struggling for a decent price.
Agree though, I've not really seen any wow bargains this year. I thought it was just me as been dipping in and out of the threads and can't keep up.

SweetPeaPods · 29/11/2023 21:17

@Reepycheepy our Asda has them in

OliverBabish · 29/11/2023 21:22

I’ve been pleased with the price of most of the purchases I’ve made (mostly thanks to these threads) but Black Friday was a dud for me. I’m holding out hope for some last minute great deals just before Xmas… (I don’t need anything else but I love a “bargain”!)

MammaGnomes · 29/11/2023 21:24

Abbott Lyon currently have 2 for 1 site wide. Just ordered my nieces a gorgeous necklace that worked out at £35 each with free delivery. The gift wrap looks beautiful too but I skipped that option

Also just been sent a 20% off code, not sure if you can stack it but worth a go

pinkchampagne1 · 29/11/2023 21:26

I agree that there haven’t been any wow bargains this year.
I remember the year of the 2 for £10 Woolover jumpers (that was a mega bargain!) and I have got my sister bargain Neom gift sets the last couple of years. Last year they even had them on 3 for 2 so I got 3 gift sets for just over £60! This year there have been no great buys like that.

imnottoofussed · 29/11/2023 21:29

Ah I was literally just looking at one of my dads bargain wool over jumpers whilst I was ironing. They've lasted well at least I think he ended up with 6 of the things that year!

Even without the mega bargains I love the range of ideas these threads throw up. I have a feeling my dd will love being able to track an animal with a matching bracelet but it would not have occurred to me to search up such a thing.

SweetPeaPods · 29/11/2023 21:37

Can anyone tell me what the Fahlo bracelet thing is that has been mentioned a few times? Is it an in thing for teens, or a special offer code? TIA

SweetPeaPods · 29/11/2023 21:38

@LastChristmasIgaveyoumyTart possibly just cross posted with your post.
Is that the Fahlo bracelet?

I saw them in Home Bargains.
