The one where I've clearly lost count on the number of threads and this one really will contain Christmas!

[Reastie]

Festive greetings to all and everyone. We're so close! I've just got a few last minute bits of wrapping to go and I hope everything is all bought. The Christmas food shop is arriving on Tuesday, the gingerbread house is being baked tomorrow and cinnamon buns are on my list of things to make before the week is out! Massive Christmas wishes to each and every one of you.

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 here and share around the joy/referral perks.

For any fans of One Hundred Stars, I was a little disappointed with their sale, but noticed they are stocked with Monsoon. There are some items that are not in One Hundred Stars own sale reduced slightly in Monsoon sale, but that then stacks with code EXTRA10 for a further 10% off, and then with an account specific newsletter sign up code for another 15% off. I got a Grande Kimono I had my eye on for £136 rather than the £195 it is still selling for elsewhere.

That paper is lovely! We don’t have that shop here though 😢

Has the prequel threads started yet?

@XxTigerlilyxx not quite yet.

@Sideorderofchips posted this yesterday <3

Sainsburys had amazing bits this evening, including microwave 'hot water bottles' for £1.20 down from £12 in teddies, dinosaurs and burgers, mugs from 60p, all sorts of quiz games etcat 30p.

None of them were there a few days ago so worth checking back if you have one local.

Did anyone else have the cash back denied from Hearst for a magazine subscription? It was supposed to be £10 cash back and I chose the right subscription(good housekeeping for £6.50 and then £30 for 6 months or something)

@FurForksSake

sadly not unusual

I've had 3 lots of cashback declined by Hearst. I'm going to chase it up.

Thanks for this. I've been wavering on a Primula Abbi dress and I'm peed off that the extra 10% with OHS was too fleeting. I'll have a look over at Monsoon. Also worth noting that Jules B is a stockist and regularly has OHS items in their sale.

thanks both, not good customer service at all! Oh well. I’ll cancel anyway and I’ve chased it up.

My cashback was also denied, I’ve put in a claim.

M&S is reducing some of its things to 70% off. It’s going on at the moment, and prices can be less in your basket than on the previous page, but the price changes may all be settled by the time sensible people are awake.

It appears to be M&S own brands, apart from Beauty, so I filtered by those, but there may be more which I didn’t look for.

Some Beauty items which were only available in store are back on the site, eg the Clinique sets which were £42+ are now £13.79. No Estée Lauder to buy online, but it might be worth a visit to s store today, especially as they might not be marked down on the shelf but ring up for less on the till.

Boots £10 Tuesday is running as usual.

@Yalz thank you and @hby9628! I had a £15 M&S voucher so I’ve got this for myself!

@rhubarbhandsoapthats a total win! I was eyeing this up at £25 but absolute bargain for £14.99. It’s a decent size. I love the M&S perfume sets

@rhubarbhandsoap I've just bought this too, thanks for the spot. When I logged in I also had a £5 gift voucher on my account (no idea where that came from) so only paid £9.99. definite bargain!

I bought one of the M&S Eau de Toilette sets as well, plus a Clinique set. I’m glad the extra reductions were worth making a post about.

WHSmith had the individual Christmas cards 75% off this morning when I went in. Mum & Dad, Son, Daughter, To you Both- those kind of cards.

Went through the self service till and thought I’d try the WHSmith 25% off card voucher they used to hand out, and which I still had in my purse. That reduced the total even further.

I paid £5.52 for 7 cards. One of them had been £5.50 to start with!

Thanks for the M&S fragrance set tip @hby9628 and @Yalz , I've ordered one for my mum.😀
