Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 2

[Sideorderofchips]

6 months to go!

Hi, just type clearance into your search bar on the app and it comes up.

Bigjigs are always worth keeping an eye on - they do all sorts of toys not just wooden railway stuff.
7" Lottie Dolls £12.50
set of 7 Lexi Mouse phonics books £7.50
Wooden railway sand tower £13.79

re the boots app, is that the same stuff as on the website? always have trouble with boots online in general

The Boots' app and website are diabolical! It's amazing how anybody ever finds anything they want in the first instance, and then manages to pay for it!

I only ever buy stuff I've specifically gone there for. Browsing is a huge no!

Half price sale at

Wouldn’t have thought the dates will last to Christmas (guessing!) but may be useful for birthdays before then!

Case of Paddington books for £3 www.amazon.co.uk/Paddington-Suitcase-Eight-book-Bear/dp/0007251947/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=1Y8H0YSEFRJ9Z&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XrMaEDFvVXaCfpzy5N0BUze1M4tV7V5IkXsETVfpWAVoSj513voN9O_PuCgGKyyqQfSc7GPhTGCiV4Nm85pTI1s9nZuW6XGHh5VKrID6vgQNdGV6YnCndv-r6Yd2uVfJ20BhxNKgjaqTkU-dO8LZrU0D7A1orzmJv52hLaoo6D-2YKHBXGj8ZITVn5fqa9_FoxWJxXB-vGhEUHu2OA6Gjw.eMu4RA-WsxAqJqT2ldNri0BV3yHh1hogVurrGbOvCew&dib_tag=se&keywords=paddington+case&qid=1721564673&sprefix=paddington+case%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

awww, Paddington is 12.48 now! They do change prices quickly!

Does anybody have an Argos code for an over £60 spend please?

Agreed!!! I've actually stopped using it for that reason - shame as some of the kids clothes are lovely, but the functionality was horrendous.

Sale on at Tinc (it's like smiggle) , the advent calendar is down to £14
Also think you get 10% off with TINCTREAT

Some decent bargains in zavvi clearance. Harry potter hoodies for 7.99 and DC t shirts for 4.99. Also extra 30% off some collectables and graphic novels. Good for teens.

Think postage is 1.99

Just a warning on the naked marshmallow offer. The plainer flavours are nice but all the more unusual ones taste vile to me. The fizzy cola in particular made me want to vom. My dd has asked to do s’mores this summer and we still have a burner from the kit but you could just light a candle. I have bought a packet of chocolate hobnobs and pink/white marshmallows and suspect ours will taste every bit as good for a fraction of the price. It’s not even as if they will be long dated enough for gifts at Christmas. Rant over!

Can concur on the Naked Marshmallows... Even my teenage sons weren't keen and they usually eat anything. I couldn't even bring myself to eat them on the grounds I'd paid for them so didn't want them to go to waste! Look great- taste weird. Not even the usually reliable vanilla flavour was nice.

Disney princess annual down to £1 on Amazon

Habitat, via Argos has some much reduced Christmas decorations.
I put 'Christmas' in the search box.

I felt the same with Nakedmarshmallow. They tasted strange.
We use the burner with normal marshmallows.

Another one that doesn't like naked marshmallows. I had their advent calendar a few years back and it was grim, I ended up opening all the doors and giving them away to my nieces and nephews. Bubblegum was the worst (and not even remotely christmassy) 🤢

Agreed re naked marshmallows we also didn't like them

Bird and Blend have their sale on with some Christmas flavoured teas www.birdandblendtea.com/collections/sale

Adding my agreement regarding Naked Marshmallows. It's like Joe and Sephs Popcorn. (I had to beg my mother to stop buying me this in the end)

Unless the recipient loves bizarre flavours, stay away.

It's like the wintertide bear to me. Worth a quid and no more.

There’s one fairly recent development on the Boots website/app, which is that there’s now a filter for “Hide out of stock items.”

It saves searching through pages and pages of eg clearance items to find the very few which are available.

Drat back to £12

Some good deals on WH Smith's though take a bit of finding - a lot of annuals down to £1, as well as a Jamie Oliver book and a frozen book with a make up case.

@ShinyPrettyThings87 oh it was the Barbie collab nail polish with opi, which was blue bizarrely!
I order a facial kit too so if you wanted one of the gift bags let me know and I can post one!

Randomly in the stationery section of my local Morrisons were some reduced "gifting" sets - they'd found in a warehouse somewhere and are clearing out for this year's stock. Might be worth a look. Candles, desk organisers etc.
