Posting on behalf of @Reastie as I'm guessing she's busy and the last thread was almost full.

This post is a work in process and if you have any links you’d like to share or would be good to add then please do let me know. The general consensus for the thread is to share any bargainous links, ideas and/or discount codes or information. No affiliate links (is that the right word?) And any referral links to the separate thread linked below. This is a warm, friendly, kind and cosy corner of mn filled with Christmas cookies and hot chocolate - let’s keep it that way!

If you have any referral links then please post on this thread <a class="break-all" href="https://_[[//https//www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

Just gone back on to order some of the rainbow gloves but the price has doubled now!

I tried to order some earlier, I tried 3 times, the order wouldn't go through. Then went back on and yep double the price, bet the order would go through now. So am not buying now from principal 🙃

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 08/09/2025 22:21

For those looking for Oreo sets, it might also be worth checking in Herons frozen food shop if you have one nearby as whenever I go in the one near us it has lots of B&M stuff (I think they might be owned by the same company these days).

If you click on the item for the hat from the same seller you can select the gloves for £3.90.
I was going to get 2 pairs at the super cheap price but I’ve just ordered one at the new price.

I think this is a pricing error but Biscuiteers have their Christmas hamper tin priced at £20. 18% off with SWEET18.
I wasn’t sure about the freshness so I’ve selected delivery for 1st Dec and keeping my fingers crossed that they don’t cancel.
Nice biscuits, great for grandparents or those that have everything

Thank you for this 😁 ordered 2

@MaybeMrsive not seen the Oreo sets irl but I believe they are £4 in b&m. Have a glass and the accessories to make Oreo milkshakes. Perfect for my girls as this is one of their fave things to do…just need to find them!
I’ve got a big b&m near my work actually so I think I’ll try there next week

Thank you. They were definitely double when I checked again, so they must have amended it just now. Thank you for letting me know

@Ewockim trying to find the Oreo milkshake sets too! There was nothing in my local at the weekend but I’m hopeful there’s still plenty of stock incoming 🤞

Me too! I was told they have deliveries everyday but can't be sure what will be there. I've tasked dh with lunchtime walks to keep popping in.

LostMyRubySlippers · 09/09/2025 01:31

@Emarosa
We have this ambulance or similar, from the same make. I’ve not looked around for best price, just went for a link which showed it clearly!

Thank you for all the great bargains!
All my DS3 wants this year is an “ambulance with doors that open”. Has anyone one spotted any good ones? I’ve seen a great looking playmobil one, but he might be a bit young.

We had the Happy Land one at that age, it was very popular here! I liked this one cause the sound could be turned off when I couldn’t take it anymore!

Looks like Happy land toys are buy one get one half price at the Entertainer but you might find another offer somewhere else!

The thing that makes toot toots especially bargainous is that if you indicate you’re willing to have it in the house, distant acquaintances will appear from nowhere to hand down great boxes of the noisy stuff.

Ladybaga · 09/09/2025 06:45

Just a heads up that it looks as though the 3 for £20 on argos toys ends today.

HolidayInCambodia25 · 09/09/2025 07:25

Boots £10 Tuesday has a number of nice looking grown alchemist stuff listed, but all as out of stock so what's the point in that!

Aldi have mosaic sticker sets in at the moment that I’m going to pick up for my present box - think they’re £1.49 or £1.99.

weareallqueens · 09/09/2025 08:12

Sometimes the Boots stuff comes into stock as the day goes on. A lot of things tend to be OOS first thing but not later.

ilikeeggs · 09/09/2025 08:15

Does anyone think Smyths toys is likely to have any kind of sale? My dds main present is only sold there but hate paying full price for anything 😁.

DressOrSkirt · 09/09/2025 08:16

I ordered 2 of the biscuiteers tins yesterday. I thought of one more person they'd be good for over night so went to order another this morning and they are now £40 so I think it was an excellent bargain!

I've ordered them to arrive in December so hopefully it is honoured!

Here4the · 09/09/2025 08:26

As a heads up with biscuiteers, there was an offer shared on here a few years ago that I used. They then cancelled the order a couple of days before it was due to arrive without telling me by which point it was too late to get a decent alternative. Biscuits are beautiful though.
