Thread 5 - the one where it's OCTOBER already!

[Reastie]

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.

I ordered yesterday using the code. Was even successfully tempted to get the lucky dip box as well. Candles for me if nobody else!

Apologies if I upset anyone with the Temu post, just thought some of the tips I mentioned might be useful for someone. I promise not to mention Temu again on this thread and happy to delete it if need be.

Also it's not all Chinese crap on there ...the last couple of weeks I've bought things from Search Press, Books2Doors, Save on Books etc. You don't have to buy the Chinese crap.

Amazon, Amazon Haul, TikTok Shop, AliExpress, eBay, Shein, AliExpress....they're all the same.

Ah no, I don't have it then. Worth looking though, just in case!

I've bought myself a gorgeous cynograph print for £15 and shared the website with several friends. Thanks to whoever originally posted about it

Can you remember which screen you were able to enter the code on or was it applied automatically? I either being really stupid (entirely possible) or there's nowhere to enter the code

There's been lots of posts about Amazon Haul this past month, I shouldn't worry about it.
Temu has it's place imo - it's great for kids birthday party bits

Agreed. I’ve bought lots of wooden blanks off there for crafts and they’re good for little Christmas bits for my class.

Thank you for the tip 😊 I've had a look and unfortunately they don't have the set I'd like in stock but I've noted it for future purchases.

Just done this - added 3 candles to basket, took the view basket option then pressed checkout. There was a discount code box below the list of items and before pay now ...

@Yalz thank you for the SUPERSECONDS tip off.

I have just ordered myself two mismatching sea glass mini pendants/droppers to hang on my earrings.

For those struggling with the site - it’s super-glitchy but refreshing the pages worked for me.

I have far too much jewellery already, but there’s some lovely stuff on the site and I am tempted by a few other things too.

I am not buying any ceramics this time as I disliked the mug I ordered last year- there was nothing wrong with it, but it’s so hard to judge texture online!

Playmobile have 20% off atm, my 4 year wants pretty much their entire catelogue from Santa. Does anyone know if that's a good deal or if I should hold off?

Thank you. As suspected, am idiot 😂

I also ordered Pintail candles yesterday, no problem using the code. Thanks to whoever posted it, they look lovely. Excited for the Autumnal scents of apples, woodland etc that I chose.

@Serenitesanta I haven’t quite caught up with the thread so apologies if someone else has already mentioned but fangamer.eu is excellent for merch for the slightly more obscure games. Not bargainous at all but definitely made my kids happy to get plushes and various figures for their favourites.

*should of added the playmobile are selected items with the code: HALLOWEEN20

Silksong was so eagerly awaited it crashed Steam and the PlayStation store the minute it launched! Most hotly anticipated game of the year - my sons had both outlets on constant refresh waiting to buy it.

There's a shed load of merch you can get into. None is necessary or relevant to playing the game, it's just about what sort of thing your child will like. T shirts were always my lads' preference.

The Superseconds sale was due to start at 10am today: you posted at 9:45am. Some of the sellers were starting early just for their subscribers - you had to email them in advance if you wanted to be one of those, and they sent either a special link or a password.

It should be easy for everyone to join now as it’s past 10am.

I haven’t had any issues at all, but I was working from a set of links I’d set up in advance, rather than the main website.

If anyone is after some new baubles some of the individual ones in the range are down to 35p each.

I wonder if they were the ones I dithered over for quite a while. You’ve given me a good reason to think I made the right decision, as it meant another MNetter could buy them.

Edit: I did not need them. I have bought other things.

Small world @Yalz ! Was one green, one yellow? £8 each?

What did you get?

Just purchased 4 scarves from the superseconds sale that were end of season for £1 each plus a lovely necklace for £1.50 and got free delivery

Was this from Xander Kostroma? I just ordered a tote bag and a scarf from there for a friend too! Only came to £5 and free delivery. The scarf is current collection and retails at £25 but got it for £1!

this super seconds sale is dangerous I’ve got so many tabs open 🤣

I’m so impressed with Tiptree, who were recommended on the last thread for their gin liqueurs which were on a 3 for £30 offer at the time.

I ordered quite a few things, all of which were absolutely lovely, but the gift packaging was damaged.

Their customer service (an actual human!) was absolutely excellent. They sent me replacement packaging and also a lovely and very generous gift as an apology for the issue.

I would 100% use them again, with or without discount, although it does look like the discounts come up often. They also do really lovely selection of jams, marmalade etc with personalised labels.

Yes, it was!

I don’t like to go into details … but earrings, notebooks and a couple of very pretty china pint mugs.

@MissNixsoh thanks!!
