Thread 8 - the one with Poopy the troll

[Reastie]

@NobodyGivesADamn thanks for the title

Greetings and welcome one and all to a friendly and joyful corner of mn - the Christmas bargain thread. Here, we share Christmas present purchases, ideas, links and discount codes, with the aim to spread the Christmas magic and joy and reduce the financial stress.

It's a very busy thread, so see the tips below for helping everything run smoothly and avoiding repetitions of Cookiegate etc al. It's a lovely, friendly bunch and I'm so grateful to each and every one of you for building such a warm, fuzzy and generous spot on mn. I know I've save so much over the years and am so grateful to all of you for sharing.

Pull up a sleigh and relax with a mulled wine and mince pie, for Christmas has nearly arrived!

@ me if you need anything or you want to let me know anything - the thread moves so fast I can't always keep up so this really helps

A few pointers to make everyone’s life easier and the thread be as useful as possible:

• It’s handy to put in bold the bargains so they’re easy to spot
• No affiliate links
• No need to place mark or post messages of hello or thanks at the start of a new thread - use the ‘watch thread’ button
• Be nice or leave

The current referral thread for sharing referral codes https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/4940918-4940918-bargain-referrals-thread-6 . Please use this rather than this page to share referral links to make the sharing fair.

To make clicks links, you set it up like this only without any spaces apart from between the website and the word(s) you’re writing: www.bargainsahoyeveryonecomehere.co.uk

Thanks @RainbowZebraWarrior for the instructions below.
To make something bold, put this star * either side of the word you want to bold (with no spaces in between)

So starhellostar would look like this.

hello

Obviously use the * not the word star

Some of the below is copied and pasted from previous years, so do @ me if the links don't work

@imnottoofussed i didn’t really see any, it was more smaller home accessories.

i went to Sainsbury's today in search of cheap lego but no major reductions. i scanned lots to double check (no buckbeaks!). the shelf edge label said until 1st Nov. anyone know if its worth me going back tomorrow? or will it all be taken down tonight?

managed to get a reduced playdoh set down from £50 to £15.

I have one going spare if you’d like it?

Just got a email from Lakeland - only a tee towel - but on a £10 spend so might be worth it for someone.

i managed to get Leap Frog pizza cart for £20 in Sainsbury’s so thank you whoever mentioned the toy clearance in the first place.

Yes please TheChirpyWasp, I would be so grateful x

I don’t think it was any better last year for Black Friday

They have loads of adult and kids ones at really good prices on tk maxx online at the minute too.

A lovely previous poster gave a link to a Nespresso pod converter on eBay… are you still here? Wanted to ask if you’ve used it yourself, and what pods you buy for it. My machine came today and I’m over the moon, but it’s gone away to give to myself on Christmas Day! Thanks OP!

I was just about to post this too. My store had gorgeous dressing gowns for £29.99 too. I was rushing but will be popping back to check sizing and pick some up.

Sainsbury’s have some lovely Marvel kids pyjamas reduced to £6.50 online. I got 2 different pairs and used BLC discount to get them both for £11.70 delivered to store.

I’ve just had my first (decaf) Nespresso coffee - amazing! Thanks so much OP for sharing that offer!

I saw mention of a subscription code inside the box, I don’t think I have one, what does it do please? 🥰🎄

Thanks for the Football poster suggestions, have just bought two

Slight derail but....

this is just to namecheck @HulahoopsBBQbeef from all the lucky £29 Nespresso Vertuo recipients

Pokemon fans - Just picked up BOGOF Pokemon card packs at Smyths Toys and a Flareon plush reduced from £14 to £10, reserved to collect at my local store. They have both Fuecoco and Sprigatito plushes reduced (both lead characters in the latest cartoon series on CBBC if that's useful for people who don't know much about them!)

Clearance section and Toys under £10 also worth a browse

I just had an email from Argos tooting reductions on these tomorrow so if you're after them it's worth a look there tomorrow.

Some very good bargains on the Tog24 website including ski kit and some bargainous sports tops for £8 - they are very good quality and my DC like them as much as I do. Also some half price winter jackets and coats.

Sent you a PM x

Thank you I’m just pleased it worked for everyone. I kept expecting it to be cancelled.

Was some on qvc today with some cleansing balm. 39.95, only 30ml but still good value

PLT have 35% off.
Code GET35
Not sure if it starts tonight or tomorrow.
Good for anyone with tweens and teens after clothes

DH is after a new dressing gown, £49 from m&S 😮 I have a 15% off sparks offer right now - do you think I should cash in on that or m&S may do a better generic offer at some point does anyone have any insider info??
