Thanks @Reastie!

Gosh these threads are moving so fast!

Thanks.

Posted this on the last thread before reading to the end!

Can anyone help find shoes like these for DD? Spotted on a friends floor, River Island, but clearly a long time ago! She says they’re her dream shoes! Size 7.

Someone on the last threat posted about heroes being £4.92 on amazon - just wanted to add that sainsburys had them this week for £4.50 a box (all 4 types) and morrisons has £9 for 2. Even better if you use topcashback for a gift card.

I'm torn between buying some because they are the cheapest I've seen (don't think I even got them that cheap last year) and not, because I'll eat too many!

That was me! This is an even better price that you’ve shared so I’ll look out for those 🥰

@WannaBeOrganised @hugsandpugs The Morrisons offer has finished. Currently £6 a tub with a More Card. The 2 for 9 will probably be back. It's already run a couple of times.

The 325g pouches are currently £3 with a More Card in Morrisons. The tubs (certainly of celebrations) are 500g so it's actually currently slightly better to get 2 pouches instead

I would recommend putting the pics you’ve posted into the Google app to do a reverse image search - if you open the app, you click on the camera icon and you can upload pictures. It will then find the image or similar - this is how I find a lot of clothes etc that I randomly see! Might help find something similar.

If you use the free prints app you can get a 12x9 canvas print this month just pay £7.99 postage

(Edit for quick comparison 12 x8 on snapfish is £11 plus £5.99 postage. )

@Nellynoo182 depends what kind of decor you're after, we moved earlier this year and I used wall stickers in the kids rooms (Boy 3, girl 1). I'm really impressed with them, they brighten up the rooms until we have the time to decorate properly. Can link if that's the kind of thing you mean?

Checking in 👋

im behind on the other thread but commenting on this one as I really want to be as organised as possible this month. Happy bargain hunting all!

Hey everyone

Happy October 🍂

Its the most wonderful time of the year ❤️🎄

@Kittkats i had a Quick Look on vinted and these seem close

https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/2700577329-river-island-platform-high-heel-brown-sandals-size-7

they may not be the same/you may not want second hand - but always worth checking on there for specific things as people sometimes sell them from new

Oh I just saw they don’t have to be the same - there were a few similar pairs available too although not sure which aspects she loves. Vinted filters are good for narrowing down a search though and you can specify new :-)

No good savings to offer but thank you to the poster who highlighted the smiggle sale. A great chunk of DCs stocking fillers bought and new lunch boxes (how very festive!)

Hi DS is due to start guitar lessons and needs a guitar. I don't want to buy a really spendy one just yet as we aren't sure of his commitment yet. Has anyone here got any knowledge on 3rd avenue guitars?

My whistlefish cards arrived with the gorgeous free Santa tin so thank you to whoever posted about that 😊

Has anyone any ideas for dinosaur gifts for a 10 year old please?!

For those with young/teen giftcare fans… boots are doing a Boots x Bubble edit. £35, includes four full size products and a bubble branded makeup bag.
