Christmas Bargain Prequel Thread 1 - welcome 2025

[Sideorderofchips]

Evening all!

Welcome to the first prequel thread of 2025

These tend to run slower than the run up to Christmas ones but doesn't mean there are no bargains!

Happy Christmas Bargain Shopping!

I’ve also seen this on the Ocado site, first orders only but looks good.

Sainsbury’s cheese truckles went down to 1p each, and there were loads, so I now have several dozen stashed in the freezer 😅

In my opinion great quality 😊

@User236792 happy with sons coat i collected today although it's no way worth the retail price of £70 it says on the website. I'd say it's probably worth half of that but I paid £15 for it.

I used to work in an outdoor shop (many years ago!) and we would rarely get any regatta returns.

Yes this was wild! Not much when I got there but I got some wendsledaye that is good until the end of the month and a 1p truffle brie which I made into a tartiflette thing. Also party food was 1.30 and brandy butter was 1p so great as we had friends for lunch. Definitely our last day of Christmas eating!

Got 30p gingerbread baking set in m and s. 30p cards and 50p wrapping paper in waitrose.

Has anyone seen any good deals on Christmas pyjamas? I usually buy some in the sales for the next Christmas but so far can't see much (or it's too pricey!). Last year I got Christmas pudding fleecey pjs for the whole family for £3 each from Frasers, so looking for something equally bargainous!

I'd love to know if/how the make up organiser is packaged if you have a pic. Also if you got a six pack of nail varnishes at all? I assume 6 minis but look a sweet gift. Did you buy any necklaces? Thinking these items may be good for a secret shopping room we do with the PTA! Thanks so much.

I have picked up some wrapping paper and gift bags at Sainsbury's but think that's it so far really! Oh and some money holder keyrings for £2 at Tesco which are perfect for giving the nephews their Christmas cash in a more interesting manner!

M&S had gingerbread syrup reduced to 85p today. The use by date is May 2027, so I've bought a couple of bottles- one for me and one for a hamper.

Pictionary AI is at £6.80 right now on Amazon. Got it for my friend's daughter age 10 at christmas and it went down a storm.

Im looking to make dd a sock advent nextbyear, has anyone seen any christmas socks reduced? Thanks.
Off to look at pp for the regatta deal....

LP20 should give £20 off at Celtic & co

@Wigglewoowoo dunelm &
Boots had some. I think white stuff has their 12 day sock calendar reduced recently too

Not the best bargain but asda have some musical christmas items for £6 instead of 12 my autistic child liked them they have chicken, snowman and many more.

also picked up some £2 men t-shirts for birthdays

A lot of reduced (mostly half price or better) Christmas bits in our local garden centre including nice Gisela Graham decorations and lots of types of lights.

Hi, Xmas trees for £18 in my Tesco, plus some alcohol gift sets half price.

Managed to get a couple of huge pork pies for 78p each, (so that’s DH and DS sorted for today and tomorrow!)

Waitrose had huge jars of mincemeat for 29p with a summer expiry date.

Check the expiry dates of fresh stuff:

I had a word at Tesco today about a load of cheese that expired 29/12 that was mixed in with stuff that had today’s date.

Just a reminder that you can get some nice things for free on your birthday via loyalty cards.

I got a free birthday gift from SpaceNK today - no spend required.

I also got a large and expensive liquid hand wash from Rituals (£14.90), with only a token purchase instore last week. They even gave me a choice of fragrance, so I got the Jasmine.

Apologies for I do not come bearing bargains but seeking advice. Boden sale, I currently have a basket of children's clothes that are in the sale with a code for a further 10% off. Am I likely to get any better? Code finishes at midnight tonight so I either buy now or hold my nerve and hope for bigger reductions! I can't decide 😩

@CapybaraParty - you could always return them if bigger discounts come along. Or call CS and ask them to refund the difference, (or you’ll return).

Ooooh I hadn't thought of that, good call. Thank you @IlovePond

@Wigglewoowoo seasalt have "snowy scenes" reduced as well as fluffy bed type socks

I've ordered a box of their sparkly ones, that could be split.

Please can someone link the latest referral thread for me? Thanks

The fleece Christmas pudding ones are £4 at Studio at the moment. I’ve just ordered some. They look like they might be too warm to sleep in, but perfect for lazy days in December.

Waitrose had christmas palmpals reduced to 1.99. I got the snowflake one for the stocking.

Weighted blankets down to £11.99 on online home store
