My Snuggz order arrived today. I bought a blanket for £11.70 (after 10% off) which is huge, and snuggly. The cat is already snuggled on top of it as I type. I also ordered the burgundy lounge suit in the sale for £17.10 after discount, and have immediately gone back to order another one - they'll keep me warm around the house in winter, together with my Croc slippers, or the bargainous sheepskin ones that I managed to nab for a fiver. Thank you so much to everyone who's posting these bargains 😍

Just to add, the code WELCOME10SNUGGZ worked for a 2nd time to get 10% off the 2nd time around, so I added a cute knitted elephant basket, elephant knitted baby blanket and elephant rattle for the new baby in the family for £45

Scoville go on offer in Asda a few times a year I believe? Have lasted us really well

I also managed to get a set from argos with a free wok about 3 weeks ago, they are lovely pots!

Another vote for scoville here!

Those with Waitrose delivery savers, Christmas slots opened today

I still have my ikea 365 stainless steel pans from over 15 years ago going strong. If you keep an eye on Aldi for their special buys they often have cast iron casserole dishes too that are far cheaper than Le creuset and seem fine (I have both and don’t see any great difference).

Argos have discounted a lot of their switch games. Some have 10-20% off and others are 2 for £20 but the really discounted ones are-

Cyberpunk
Metroid prime 4
Pokeopia
Starfox

Only £20 each when normally around £50

Cute Plush Stuffed Steamed Pillow £12.99 (save 50% off voucher at checkout)

We’ve had these Stellar pans (or very similar) for 30 years now. Still look good as new!

The latest JL Rewards have arrived. Some are more generous than others.

Bit of a random one...I bought the connetix ball run set when it was reduced last week, I read that you can buy nano bugs and use the connetix to make a maze for them to run through??
Does anyone know what it is I need to buy and what they do??

Not very exciting but wondered if anyone has seen any deals on a decent soup maker please? 🙏

It definitely won’t be bargainous but I am looking for a PS5. Any tips on whether I should go for reconditioned/second hand/ Black Friday sales/anything else?

Thank you. I think I just managed to get the last Pokopia in the country!!

I bought this one last year and have definitely had my monies worth already.
Was about the same price.

My parents have had a set like this for about 30 years. That’s why we got ours!

I think someone posted earlier about space nk- absolutely fine for Xmas but to flag my order is running about 3 weeks late in case anyone was going to order now. Apparently they are mega busy- I got a very nice email back from customer service responding to my chase.

There's increasing noise around non stick pans not being great because the coating flakes off. The metal ones are amazing, especially if heavy based commercial grade ones, but check she doesn't have an induction hob as they might not work. I get mine from a charity shop so you can see how they last.

@Mytribeof3im in the market for a soup maker for my mums birthday in Oct. I was going to see what deals there might be on prime day.

She does have induction, which limits what can be used. I wouldn't buy non-stick (or not the coated ones)for health reasons, so would prefer to go down the stainless steel road.

Liz Earle have £15 off a £50 spend until midnight and it’s free delivery over £30.

Looks like a good one and always reassuring to have a recommendation so thank you ☺️

Bought our Le Crueset dupe casserole dish from Robert Days about a decade ago and it's still great, they have a sale on cookware at the moment.

Does anyone know if you can tell how long a Boots.com offer is on for please? I really want to use the 22% off luxe beauty but it needs to be in a couple of days. I'll be gutted if I miss it!

All 3 of my kids want an air up for flavoured water if anyone knows were i can get these on sale.

Loving the thread thank you all
