Thread 12 - The one where it's All Pants (and socks)

[RainbowZebraWarrior]

Levi's pants and socks, that is. It's also exactly a month until Christmas!

Also, I have to thank @FortnumsWeddingBreakfastTeaPlease for this quote, as it really tickled me: "Well it's not going to be the one where we found the fucking flamingo.
Honestly I'm starting to despise the stupid, elusive, constipated thing." Sadly, it was too long to make the thread title.

Hello folks and welcome to the ongoing Christmas Bargain threads, which are hosted annually by the Amazing Reastie. I'm just caretaking for now.

This post is a work in progress, and if you have any links you’d like to share or you think 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, please.

Please post 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!

As we move towards actual Black Friday (does that even exist any more?) the threads tend to move very quickly. It can be helpful to post your bargain in bold. This can be done by adding an asterxix either side of a word with no gap in between. So Levi's would be Levi's

The Beauty Store has free delivery with the code BLACKDELIVERY

I know in
previous years Hot Diamonds have had good stackable discount codes. Other than the BF30 - does anyone have any other codes?

Sorry, I know this has been asked before, but what’s the cheapest way to buy a Nintendo Switch 2? Thanks so much 😊

For Hot Diamonds try HD40 for 40% off main site, HD50 for 50% off outlet. Worked for me yesterday.

Also JEWELS for free delivery (although only gave me standard delivery rather than next day which it used to)

Moonpig have up to 60% off vouchers lots of restaurant / spa etc.

I struggled to find any discounts, so ended up buying a bundle from Currys which was the same price as everywhere else (£409) but included some free racing wheels

The amazing kitchenaid scissors are £6.48 on Amazon. Not their best deal ever, but still good. Nowt else to report. Another disappointing BF. Even the rapesco tape dispenser hasn't come down in price!!

Hello does anyone have any recommendations on buying refurbished phones? Thanks very much ☺️

In the past we have had from music magpie & eBay. On eBay there are various places that sell refurbished tech & should still come with 12 month warranty etc. Plus there is often a voucher code on the eBay site that you can use with certain sellers

DD had the mouse one when she was 4 and loved it. Still plays with it at 6. She is animal obsessed though, and loves cute things.

Thank you 🙏🏻

DH got his from Music Magpie and it’s been absolutely fine.

There are £20 bonuses on quidco this morning on £100 spend at Argos and Currys. Will help the the headphones DS was after.

15% cashback at eBay and Boots.

Postscript Books (mentioned a few times) FLASH10 gives 10% off (not huge but I haven't seen many codes for them as everything is already cheap).

Just my Look has some good deals today, including Marc Jacobs Honey at £23.99 and Daisy at £28.99.

Thanks all again for these great recommendations. I am now thinking of getting the 12 projects of codemas from The Pi Hut for DS. They are not doing any deals as far as o can see. Does anyone know of any? Many thanks

Amazon have some at 10-15% off

The Alnwick garden in Northumberland have discounts on some of their memberships (including family membership) and gift experiences if anyone lives that way and needs a gift (or wants for themselves!)

Cheapest I have seen is Argos or Amazon, both are doing the Switch 2 with Mario Kart for £399.99

A lot of the photo gift companies are doing big reductions for Black Friday. Photobox make the best calendars and have 50% calendars (more off other things) with a code BLACK FRIDAY: 50% off calendars Code: PBXUK50There is a sign up and get £5 off but I don’t know if it stacks.

Anyone disappointed with Amazon Haul? I thought it would be 70% like a while ago but it's buy 2 get 60% off of those selected items

@slipperypenguin
The Represent hoodies are a large fit. My 15 year old wears the XS and its very baggy.

The most expensive request on my daughters list hasn’t gone In the BF sales!!
if anyone has any savvy ways to at least get a little bit of a discount on the Ugg Lowmel trainer in chestnut please let me know

I've looked at Fahlo the past few years for DD and went for it with the BF offer but they're being very slow to dispatch and haven't responded to my emails. Is this normal? Having a bit of buyers remorse!
