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 https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5212180-bargain-referrals-thread-7 and share around the joy/referral perks.

For anyone who has the O2 priority app. I looked under my priority today and have an offer for a free £5 gift card. Hundreds of retailers to choose from - Ikea, M&S, John Lewis, Boots, Amazon etc. Worth checking!

Which category is it in as I can't see it just scrolling? Maybe I don't have it. 😭

I don't believe all of this Temu rubbish and think it's all cheap crap anyway.

Please can another thread be made for sharing all of the temu stuff?

Granted some of it is rubbish, but its easy enough to send it back and sometimes they say keep it we will refund you anyway, but i managed to kit out both my older kids new rooms doing the offer above for pretty much free and their rooms look amazing xx

Trainstrike · 04/10/2025 08:57

Yes I agree, some of us don't want to buy Temu crap, it's hard enough trying to navigate Amazon etc. now that they seem to be selling more and more of it through "sellers".

(Is this the first time we've had this conversation? It feels like it may be a new one that gets repeated every year like referral codes, starting new threads etc. 🤣)

fishfingersandchipsagain · 04/10/2025 09:00

I think it would be ironic to banish Temu discussion to its own thread while we constantly post Amazon links on this one.

Doublebubblegum · 04/10/2025 09:00

To be totally fair - Amazon Haul is the same sort of thing as Temu, isn't it? And we've had lots of posts about Amazon Haul...

Trainstrike · 04/10/2025 09:03

I feel the same way about Amazon Haul to be fair so it's probably just me!

Just come across these earring diffusers on the seconds festival website not on sale until 10 but they seem a really nice gift Diffuser earrings down from £20 to £5

If anyone spots an offer on Advocaat in any of the supermarkets please shout! Thanks!

Anyone else having trouble getting on super seconds festival website?

It’s just started getting glitchy for me, I’ve been going through all the sellers to see who has bits I might be interested in. I assume it’s extra traffic

lifelongfrugaleer · 04/10/2025 09:27

For teen / tween scents. While not a perfume the So! Body sprays are popular and often on offer in Superdrug they are about a fiver each usually. There used to be a So! Perfume as well but not sure if they do. Or go retro with impulse or Charlie red

I found it by clicking on ‘my priority’ at the bottom and it came up under ‘your exclusive perks’.

SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease · 04/10/2025 01:06

I say this with utter kindness - I promise. Yardley would not be well received by any teen I know.

I’ve never been cool in my life, and I’m in my 40s now, and even I associate Yardley with “old lady” soap and hand lotion.

I agree with @SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease

OnionBag · 04/10/2025 09:45

When I try to view a product on the super seconds sale, it asks me for a password which I don’t have. How is everyone else getting on to it? Do I need to register somewhere? Thanks

Tesco have it on offer Clubcard price £11. It’s also £11 today on Amazon prime.

What is the upper age limit for magnatiles please?

To be honest, I’m a grown up and I think they are pretty cool. People of all ages tend to gravitate towards them if left lying around

FallingIntoAutumn · 04/10/2025 08:10

Do remember when buying temu stuff it’s not safe for children or to be given as gifts. It doesn’t have the same safety standards and contains dangerous fabrics and metals etc.
no matter how cheap something is your kids safety isn’t worth it.

I suspect this is true of Amazon Haul, Temu, Shein, AliExpress etc. and probably some suppliers on normal Amazon too.

Sideorderofchips · 04/10/2025 09:47

I dont see a problem with temu being on here. This is the first thread it's popped up on and we share amazon haul bargains and such.

Lets not disrail the thread discussing temu. Same as all bargains, if it's not for you keep scrolling

Famousthehero · 04/10/2025 09:51

£15 for the Marc Jacobs Daisy drops on Amazon - I haven’t price checked elsewhere

Fillybuster · 04/10/2025 09:56

@SkinnyOatFlatWhiteForMePlease & @Realfastfoodie fair enough….😂 My teens are fairly (not very) cool - they def wouldn’t be happy with a celeb product but no idea how they’d feel about Yardley. I kind of assumed it had shed its old lady vibes. Maybe I’m now an old lady….😉

Pintail Candles have 50% off their classic candles with a code on the site this weekend only

they also have lovely mystery boxes which might be good to split as raffle/tombola prizes

This is brilliant but I can't find anywhere to add the code at check out before getting to the pay noe button which I dare not press in case it goes through at full price. Has anyone bought from here with the code successfully?

hugsandpugs · 04/10/2025 10:06

I can’t seem to get the super seconds website to load. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yeah it’s crashing constantly for me. I can’t really get onto any of it

It’s loading for me.

Seems a bit different to previous years. The makers I was interested in haven’t added any seconds stock, just given a code for eg 20% off across the site.

Same here or the page is taking forever to load

Bluey mud kitchen reduced in Aldi to £14.99. I was seriously tempted but then remembered the play kitchen we have in the living rarely gets played with now.😔
