Christmas bargain prequel thread 1

[Sideorderofchips]

Come one come all to the annual prequel thread

This is for the all year round bargains for any special occasion especially Christmas!

Argos currently has 5% cashback in Lloyds group banks in the app. Your son will be thrilled with this gift!

I will look now, & check market place 👍

Thank you. We don't bank with any in the group, but a good tip for others.

I was in JoJo Maman Bebe today and saw they had stockings reduced from £24.99 to £7!

There is nothing online about them at all as I was hoping to peruse the styles but I’ll just have to do it in store.

I’m after dirt cheap matching adult Xmas pjs if anyone has any links ?

5 pairs needed!

what about using a topcashback/quidco referral link to set up an account and then shop through that? Would love to share mine but don’t want to break any rules. Their new offers are for £25 or so once you’ve got £10 cashback in your account. Quite often Argos etc will do bonus 10% cashback through those apps.

Character.com had some but depends if there is a suitable character

Not much but I think you can get £5 off when you spend £50 on the Argos app - if you haven’t already installed it?
Obviously that then won’t track with cashback etc so other vouchers may work out better…

That's a good shout. Thanks.

Thanks. I have TCB - it's 3% at Argos. Blue Light is 4% so £16 off, so may be my only deal. I'd just like a much better one!😆

If you sign up for Very pay it's 20% off all products (I did it at Xmas & was delighted with 20% off a PS5, a huge deal). My best friend signed up tonight, but looks like Switch2 is one of the only exclusions. Bah, as that would've been a mega deal!

I'll check Quidco.

I thought it was the Lego you wanted a discount on? Does that work out cheaper via Very

Sainsbury’s had these for 20p so I bought a few.

Aldi had mince pies for 9p today. They are best before 15 Jan, but will be fine for a week or so afterwards, I reckon.

You can also freeze them. I ate my crumble topped ones from waitrose last year well into April. They never seem to go off!

15p wrapping paper today in my large Tesco. They had stuff in the usual places like the bottom of the seasonal aisle, but also a load of reduced random stuff on the end of an aisle beside homewares. Stuff like cuddly toys for 80p and Microwave Hedgehog pals for the same price. Reduced Harry Potter squsihmallows, reels of Christmas ribbon for 15p, 2 pack of hot chocolate stirrers for 30p, stacking 3 tins of flavoured hot chocolate for 60p. Loads of other stuff like cushions and fairy lights. They do seem to have a fair bit left over this year!

I have copied and pasted the following from the last thread.

I know they’ve had mixed reviews for their mystery boxes, but Bridal Beauty Co are doing a Lumene giveaway at the moment, 2x full size glow serums for the price of postage only- initially looks a good deal

Did anyone order this?
I have just had email to say that it is only 8ml, if you ordered it, are you aware it is only a sample size. I must of missed this, I was of the impression it was full size.

The garden birds love them in this cold weather too! 🐦

That’s disappointing, I don’t believe they included the size in my email, or in the link provided. Still looking forward to receiving- 2 for the cost of delivery is still worth it in my opinion.

I bought big bags of christmas raisins and fruit peel mix for 29p each from Aldi for the birds! They are really enjoying them!

If anybody likes Snow fairy, I’ve just managed to get a body spray & bath bombs in the sale. They’ve just popped back in. DDs birthday in feb so grabbed them!

Hot diamonds codes:
MSE50 for 50% off outlet
MSE40 for 40% off full price
JEWELS for free delivery

After previously being disappointed in the sales I’ve actually done really well, mainly with Sainsbury’s and Boots.

Today I got a Ted Baker body spray set (large) for £10 which I hadn’t seen in our local Boots and a Lynx set for £12 that was £40 in Sainsbury’s. Plus a Fuzzy Duck cracker set for £4:20 which was £10, again Sainsbury’s.

The Sainsbury’s near us seems to be putting more sales stuff out all the time. I’m going to get two more of the Lynx sets tomorrow for presents as they had loads.

I’ve managed to get presents for three people for around £35/£40.

I'm looking for both, really. I think DS3 will buy the Lego with his own money.

The Lego is still £90 on Very, so still cheaper in Argos even after the 20% in Very.

However, 3 Switch games would be definitely cheaper with the Very 20% so considering that.

They’ll have to fight me for them!

Got very excited by the snow fairy spray , but then realised it was the tiny 50ml one and not the normal sized bottle in the picture with it 🤦

ah sorry! Yes the small one. Seems to last though x
