This post is a work in progress 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?)

Mariah will be singing All I want for Christmas before we know it, and it's only 46 days until Christmas, so let's get those bargains, folks!

Following on from my previous post, this is the Boots showstopper.

@keepincool @nothingtoseehereatall and @LunaDeBallona I said I'd tag you all

20% off the Lego advent calendars at Smyths, Amazon and Argos. Both the £30 now £24 franchise ones like Frozen, Star Wars and Harry Potter; and the £20 now £16 one called City and Friends.

Anyone know how to get further money off at boots?

I have but I feel like at this point it looks like I work for them! The first time I bought from them was four/five years ago and the balls are still in use. I think they still sell through not on the high street too (that’s where I first found them) so you could see if there’s any reviews on there?

@RainbowZebraWarrior you are a star, thanks!

Note that you have to select the 2.95 delivery option as it comes up with 3.95 as the default.

Anyone have a yoto? Is it difficult to add songs too? My daughter likes listening to music on her tablet I thought maybe a yoto would get her off the tablet but I am awful at uploading songs etc

Not very exciting but The Works have wrapping paper storage bags for £2, they hold up to 12 rolls.

Topcashback have 25% cashback at Holland and Barrett today ( plus £2 off a £20 spend ) plus Holland and B have a spin the wheel for possible extra discount too

I bought a yoto for my daughter (5) and it has been honestly the best thing we've ever got her. Highly recommend! You add content via an app/ website, if you have the songs as mp3s it's incredibly easy, although it would probably be trickier if you don't. NB I don't think you can download from e.g. Spotify.

Thanks for this, it’s a great idea!
Have you (or anyone else) had one before? It says it’s valid for 12 months but starts when you purchase it, so I was wondering if it’s wise to hold off getting it for a month or is it likely the offer will be discontinued?

I only ordered mine Sunday night so not received it yet. I have read the voucher and fizz come separately. I think it will be 12 mths from order/ dispatch date but thats about usual so not worried about it and I wanted to make sure I received it in plenty of time.

Thanks to the poster who shared the P.Louise trick (sorry I can't remember who it was!)

I signed up to the loyalty program yesterday, followed all the links and put my birthday as today so once midnight came I got my birthday points.

I got €8.82 worth of points all together so added 'The Perfect Base Pastel Coloured Base Set' from the sale section. It was €8.95 down from €50.95!

Then the free hand cream worth €12.95 was added to my basket, so I got the whole lot for €4.13 including delivery!

Thanks soooo much for the Haul LUCKY11 code - it’s fab!

Your welcome ❤️

It’s great that they’ve given you the birthday points straight away - a lot of companies don’t if your birthday is in the next month for example.

I’ve used a couple of different emails to order from them so should have £5 of points on each account 26th of this month hopefully! (My actual birthday😅)

I have just done another order with them as I ordered DD the Gemini tumbler cup but my starsign was out of stock! Just popped on there and they have saggitarius back in stock but only a few left so I’ve ordered one and will have another free hand cream 🤣❤️

I went to Dunelm yesterday and bought some paint. They gave me a 10% Black Friday voucher. So if anyone’s thinking of a big Dunelm purchase it might be worth popping in and getting one with a small spend.

wow thanks for the LUCKY11 Amazon Haul code- I was a bit sceptical as these things don't always work for me but just got a 15m roll of Christmas wrap and a Pixi beauty hydrating skin duo gift set for £9.99 !!

Has anyone tried honeybee lip balm before? they have a good BF deal where they are half price and BOGOF.

@nothingtoseehere I'm looking in to Yoto's for my daughter, how much would you be looking for for yours?

Thank you. I will do that.

Thank you for this. Just got my nephew a Jack & Jones T shirt for £2.99!

There was one on Lakeland for £29.99 in sale and a few others depending on budget @OnionBag https://www.lakeland.co.uk/around-the-home/household-electricals/heated-textiles

@imnottoofussed if you are signed up to Airtime rewards mine is showing 4% rewards of a spend at Boots - the money comes off my mobile phone bill. Or JamDoughnut has Boots gift cards.

Don’t buy them from the Nike website. ASOS do what I think is the same model (Nike branded) for £65.

This may or may not be helpful to others but I've ordered from p Louise before and done guest checkout without setting up an account. Set up account today and it's recognised my previous orders so I had £5 worth of points and a free gift already there.
Ordered 2 items on a BOGOF deal plus my free gift and got the free hand cream so it came to £9 with postage for 4 items. My points £5 didn't stack with the other offers so still have that to use.
