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!

@joiedepotato Whistlefish have a free fathers day gift tin on a £25 spend, they do the most beautiful cards 10 for £10 and I think it's join20 for an extra 20% off maling them much cheaper than highstreet. If you need cards anyway, you could get the free tin and get the kids to bake some brownies or cookies, whatever dad's favourite treat is to put inside. The free tin offer ends tonight but think it sells at £6 if you miss it for free.

@Joiedepotato if you have prime, something like this?

@Famousthehero @Wellwhoknewthat @psuedocream3 thank you so much for your help, I really love these threads. I found the photo cube for £12 on Not on the HighStreet so I've gone with that, everyone will enjoy faffing with it. Amazing suggestions from everyone, thank you😊

The leapfrog Scoop and Learn ice cream cart is down to £25.55 on Amazon. I know it went down to £22 on the next website but they seem sold out. It’s currently the cheapest it’s been on Amazon, according to camelcamelcamel.

I've got some Argos codes going spare if anyone wants one:

£5 off a £50 spend: AWUVP8TZAY7H and AFD4NATKPJCV
£10 off a £100 spend: AHDR99QGL55M

Hype has what it’s calling a warehouse clearance sale. I imagine the best bargains will disappear fast, but I got a Pom Pom key ring for 50p and a woman’s hoodie for £5. They have girls crop tops for £1 instead of £18 and a girls hoodie and jogger set for £10. There are lots of half price pencil cases, backpacks etc and men, women, boys and girls hoodies, t shirts, joggers and shorts.

JH20OFF gives 20% off everything I tried including sale prices. Free shipping £40+, or £44.45 before the discount. £3.99 below that.

I bought some £5 Hype joggers in a sale over two years ago, have worn them at home most days unless it’s summer or they are in the wash, and they still look as respectable as joggers can on a size 20 woman.

I just managed to purchase one.

Thanks to the original poster!

I couldn't remember where I'd heard mention of Barry M makeup recently, didn't realise it was this thread, but noticed some bits in Home Bargains yesterday including Fresh Face foundation for 99p.

Boots have Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Illicit Green EDP 75ml for £33.60 down from £112, maybe a misprice as it's supposed to be half price.

On top of this my boots advantage card had 10% off a £25 spend, £10 bonus points on a £65 spend and £4 bonus points on a £60 spend. Also went through vouchercodes.co.uk to get an additional £5 cashback.

Total spend for 2 was £60.48 with £12.86 advantage card points and £5 cashback (£42.62 for 2, equates to £21.31 per perfume)

Can't see this hanging around long, I wouldn't umm and ahh if you're thinking about it.

What a bargain on the Black Opium!! I’ve ordered two, one for me one for my sister. Got over 1000 boots points, also went through Quidco for up to 10% cashback. I hope it smells nice 🤣. At that price it doesn’t matter!!! It also added a complimentary sample to the basket for spending over a certain amount on YSL.

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

@psuedocream3thank you. I need a decent perfume! Ordered for myself.

thank you for Black Opium fragrance, I got one as well and used Jam doughnut and Total cash back for cash back as well :)

Also ordered the Black Opium so thanks Op.

2025 Guinness world record book is only £4 on amazon. It's a nice big gift and good for even reluctant readers as they can dip in and out of little facts. (Can't link as my amazon app is being weird)
