Christmas bargain prequel 4 - the most we have ever had!

[Sideorderofchips]

Wow we are filling these threads!

Thread 4 so we don't lose track

I put them in an airtight Ziploc bag until the occasion so they stay fresh. Then wrap them in tissue paper

Sometimes trip do offers. Trainline is also on tcb.

Do the White Company ever do sales on their candles. Really want a large Winter candle, but can’t bring myself to pay £65.

Yes they do, around 30% off in the sales. But the winter one probably won't be reduced until after Christmas, if not later.

Thanks Virgo. Maybe I’ll have to look out for one in the New Year and put it away for next Christmas x

Good tip @chocolateisavegetable
I do a weekly Tesco online shop and didn't know this!
I'll keep an eye on them in future!

Got one of these in my local Sainsbury’s yesterday, at least 5 more still on the shelf. I have had this on my Amazon wish list for at least a year. Can’t believe the price! Perfect gift for someone.

Thank you for running these threads. I've been ona few years. Found them the year of Robert but I was sadly to late to buy in.
You've all been wonderful, especially a few years back when my dh was made redundant.
You've already helped me so much this year, I've bought a pack of the Dino bath bombs and also got some lynx body sprays and body wash, they were both down to £10 for a set, which is a good price.
I'm keeping my eye out for any bargains to post on here, hopefully I can give something back to you all.

Hi, someone mentioned the genuine Oodies that were on 5poundstuff last year. I had a look and some of the current listings for hooded blankets seem like you might still get an Oodie, (with label removed). Of course, there is no guarantee, but they do accept returns. My pink one from there last year was a real Oodie and the listing is the same now:

I have also bought genuine Oodies, (again with labels partially removed), from this seller on eBay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234529952210?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dlPuZvgaRnS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=WtkarQQgRiK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I ordered a few from here for last Xmas and they were all genuine Oodies with labels partly removed. Their c/s is also pretty good - they gave me a big discount after I contacted them about a minor problem with one order.

Hi, could someone post a link to the referral thread - I can’t find it. Thanks

Thanks @Justhereforthechristmasthreads !

@Ilovepugs2017 are you travelling alone or with someone else? Before the DC's were old enough to need a ticket we used to get a Twotogether railcard.

@Fuckingfuckssake Im going on my own and it’s 6 and half hours so around £140 for a return 😬

@Ilovepugs2017 I don’t know where in the country you are travelling. I have a Network Railcard for the South which saves 1/3. I presume other areas have similar

Network Railcards do seem to cover quite a large area @Ilovepugs2017 On the website it says

"Enjoy 1/3 off rail fares in the South East England area for you and up to 3 other adults and up to 4 children. The Network Railcard spans more than 16 counties in the South East including Greater London and in the area bounded by places as far afield as Exeter, Worcester, Northampton and Kings Lynn so you could travel further than you think.
A Network Railcard costs just £30 a year."

Have you looked into split tickets @Ilovepugs2017 ? The Money Saving Expert website has a good explanation of it and a link to tools from memory.

Northern and TPE usually have TCB offers too, only small amounts but better than nothing.

Does any know of any good discounts for yoto minis please? Not sure if they tend to do good deals around black friday or not.

I'm on a yoto group on FB and they seem to think Black Friday will be the one.

Hope so, would like one for DD. DS has been a superstar about sharing his but it is his most treasured possession so we're going to stretch to one each!

Travelling from Wales to Lancashire. I did look at railcards but there seems to be none for my age group travelling alone. I’d probably only go once a year too as going to visit a friend X

@TheWeeDonkeyFella yes I did download train pal but wasn’t sure how it works and whether I’d get confused doing it that way lol not used to long journeys on a train. I’ll try and have a read up in a bit more detail about it though

Re train tickets have a look at redspottedhanky website. Bookin ahead it the best thing for reduced fares or a rail card of some sort. What about the coach? National express or there’s others that I can’t of the name.

@Clucket87 thanks for the kids bath bombs tip! I got a few sets, dinosaur ones and gross science. I have a DC with a birthday close to Xmas so I'll split them, some for each! 🙂

He will like that one of the dinosaur bath bombs has an ammonite on it! ❤️ He likes science stuff too so I'm very chuffed and wouldn't have seen them without your post.

Some free trial/half price offers - dog food, cat food and Harry's razors
