****Bargain Alert Thread*****

[Skrimble]

Thought I would start a thread so we can post any bargains/ special offers or limited stock items we spot.

Wooden track, castles and more at Lidls .

Skrimble, Gingerbear has started a thread on the railway! The castle looks good, too...

I know it took me so long to atually post it. Come on post your other bargains here so i don't look completely silly .

Durrrr, but LIDL tell me about their bargains. I have to go to the shops to see other ones. However, WHSmith seem to be offering 25% off games, which if you're after Simpsons Scrabble, as I am, is worth thinking about.

What are the toys like at Lidl? The castle looks great as does the train track but do you think they fall to pieces after a while?

I have a doll's house from there that is 3 years old and still going strong.

According to Radio 4, stuff is cheap because you have to put up with a horrible shopping experience (this is true). Also stuff is labelled in languages other than English, sometimes. If you ask a shop so-called assistant for help, you will not get it. But stuff is cheap.

Lidl round here has a gorgeous sultry young maayaan working there - think he is from one of the 'Stan's (Uzbekistan, Kurdistan... Moondog wuld know). He is most polite and helpful and has a smile that launched a thousand ships, lights up the room etc. Women have been known to swoon in the aisles.
Not a typical Lidl shopping experience I suspect.

So much for a bargain thread you hussy .

might have to pop down tomorrow!

Virgin are doing buy one get one free dvds at the moment

And ELC have 20% off if you quote HOLLY online

That would be another bar to effective shopping,though, wouldn't it - unconscious women in the aisles.

very good Fauve! That and the lack of hand baskets.

The men may be delicious, but Lidl veg is rubbish.

Another bargain ATM is Travelodge! They are doing rooms for £26 per night!! The whole room! Dh, 2 ds's and me are going to go to London and stay for 2 nights in January and take ds to the Natural History Museum!

for 21 days in advance you can book a travelodge room for £10 per night.

Am I right in saying the rate of pay in Lidls is actually quite high or perhaps it was Aldis.

Handbaskets, yes. And you have to stuff your pockets with old carrier bags, or you'll find yourself having to part with several pence to BUY a Lidl one. I can't vouch for the durability of Lidl toys (although dd is getting a toy Landrover, horsebox, horse and rider kit - that cost £1.99 - in her stocking), but I do buy ludicrous amounts of stationery items and craft bits there, to stick in the kids' Xmas stockings; and no complaints or things fallen apart so far.

The trick is to grab a box on the way round and fill that. Not handy if getting the bushome though .

Can't comment on Lidl I'm afriad, I'm too scared of the clientelle in my local one every time I drive past to pop in (shameful I know - but then I work in Morrisons and thats bad enough - get sworn at by customers on a daily basis).

BUT on the frugal thread, gotta tell you about Boots... till Monday its triple points so I bought:-

Baby Annabell £32
Winnie the Pooh Fisher Price ball thing £25
V-Tech lap top £20 (FREE)

PLUS I got triple points so £10 worth of points on my card. So I spent £57, but if I use the points for necessities now I can say it all cost £47. Bargain really.

Also, cant believe how good Argos' deals are at the moment shame I've finished my shopping.

you could try here as well

Today I bought ds's the ELC castle reduced from £20 to £13!! Bargain.

And...an ELC tape recorder for £10 down from £15 and some play dough for £2.50.

There are SO many bargains ATM.

sorrelsleighbells I like the ferret site, lets you see exactly how much you are saving, which with the 2 for for £..... isn't always that much. Good savings on some of the booze at Morrisons.

My parents have bought DD (4.5) this dolls house . It's half price at the mo & comes complete with furniture & "the family"
