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?) 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:

@Cuwins are you boycotting Amazon? Cos if not just get it from there? Their delivery is quick and warranty is good.

No I'm just wondering if I can get it cheaper with an Argos code!

for those looking for k-pop demon hunters - and forgive me I know nothing about this- but Redbubble have a sale on and appear to have lots of items
Obviously not official merch, but done by independent artists, and there will be, I imagine, t shirts, hoodies, totes and stickers…

25 minutes later and I am 100% returning everything I bought yesterday and rebuying I er 2 transactions and saving myself £20 as I was going to have to go back to Smyth's for more stuff anyway so the extra trip was going to happen regardless!

I’ve just been asked for a striped dressing gown by 22 year old dd. She wants it look like an old man’s ideally green and red/blue!! I’ve just spent the past hour searching online and can’t find anything that fits the criteria. I’d be very grateful if anyone could help me 🙏🏽

I’m sure I saw these kind of dressing gowns in Ikea.

UntamedShrew · 18/11/2025 08:15

Do any of you have a weighted blanket? DD (14) wants one and I’m trying to find one that’s not plasticky or ugly. Although she probably wants both those things!

I think you made the right decision, £20 saving is not to be sniffed at..plus if you haven't already collected the order, they cancel it and refund you if you don't pick it up

I've just ordered my annual Tiny Tree from Bloom and Wild for a friend who's in a wheelchair and can't put up / decorate a full-sized tree. It's become a bit of an annual tradition. It comes through the letterbox too, so perfect for anyone who can't wait in for deliveries.

You can get £10 off with a referral code, making it a very reasonable £22 (including postage). I've popped my referral code on the referrals thread.

My tree survived the winter outdoors, but doesn't look as picture-perfect as it did when it arrived!

There are quite a few good £10 offers on Boots today, sadly I have no one to actually gift any to!! Can't justify buying myself more beauty bits either!

For example...... couple of no7 sets, nip fab set, some mens no7 sets, a few soap and glory sets, kids science kits.

Be careful with this they have started charging a £2 non collection fee

If anyone is after rugby boots theres a crazy deal on the Canterbury site.

Boots are already heavily reduced then it takes another 70% off at checkout!!! I’ve just managed to get four pairs for under £35 with delivery!

Does anyone have an Argos code? Thinking of getting the ninja dual air fryer £143 on Amazon and £159 in Argos so wondering if anyone has a code that would bring the Argos one cheaper?

Just in case this hasn't been mentioned yet, eBay has some refurbished ones on (from the official ninja store with guarantee) and also a 20% off code at the moment, which makes them a bargain if you're willing to buy refurbished.

Kate spade have 30% off with BF30, which also works on outlet for further discount.

Also got some good stuff in the Typo sale.

The normal price on refurbished eBay is the same as the Amazon price new currently but the voucher means it is about £30 cheaper so will consider

WhereIsThisGoing · 18/11/2025 09:39

A slightly boring bargain, but Asda groceries has £10 off a £50 delivery (alcohol and some other stuff excluded). One per account and delivery before 28 November. Code is ASDA10OFF

Oneborneverydecade · 18/11/2025 09:42

Thanks for the Monica Vinader sale heads up. Ordered a necklace and earrings for myself from DH. John Lewis are price matching and with my staff discount both were half price.

In sad news I resigned from my Waitrose job and Fri is my last day. No more 25% off JL and 20% off Waitrose. As fellow bargain hunters I know you'll feel my pain.

They do some on online home store that are lovely my dd has one

Just an example of some of the boots and the price they come down to at checkout!!

@PurpleSkittle All the supermarkets are £5.50 for 200g (with the loyalty cards)

Also £5.50 directly from Lindt too

£5 in B&M (but won't get the full range and check dates)

Home bargains show as £4.49 online if you can find them in store (again check dates)

Thanks - yes, I've been keeping an eye on them and the only place under £5 seemed to be Home Bargains but none in stock in my local one.

However, I bought some this morning before returning to this thread as I spotted them on Amazon at £21.50 for a mixed 1kg bag. Will be splitting it for advent calendars and general scoffing! Works out at £4.30 per 200g.

I've since seen @User202242 and @Changingagain 's posts which are an even cheaper deal, but I'm happy to pay a bit extra as the one I've bought has a variety of flavours that we all like. Amazon also has the gold 1kg bag for £21.50, which is a different selection.
