New section to let MNetters know of good offers you've seen in the shops - what do others think?

Today I was out with my own ds amd minded kids (I'm a childminder) and I seen a really good offer on in Boots. It was buy 2 of these things for £3 -kandoo wipes or handwash, there was something else in the offer but I forget now!!

Anyway I was just thinking, I'd have missed this offer if I hadn't been in Boots today and there must be loads of good offers I miss regularly. Oh and I got 2 Felicity Wishes fluffy hot water bottles for £2.25 each! Bargain! Could be a one off though who knows...

So what I wanted to ask the MN team and other MNetters do you think it would be a good idea to have a section of good offers we might be interested in to alert other mums/dads of bargains we might miss otherwise? I get e-mails from Martins website that tells of good offers every week in the shops, but TBH they've never appealed to me, I thought "parent or child" related offers would be more useful.

Oh and I don't mean an advertising section for companies, I mean genuine offers we've seen in the shops that other MNetters might relate to.

What do you all think?

Yes, great idea. Would definitely use it.

merglemergle · 15/06/2005 20:18

Agree. Great idea.

lilaclotus · 15/06/2005 20:19

i would love that.

WigWamBam · 15/06/2005 20:24

People generally just post those sort of offers under Products, I don't think there's necessarily a need for another separate section (although perhaps that's just me being a miserable old git )

Guardianangel · 15/06/2005 20:25

sounds good to me!

dizzymama · 15/06/2005 20:39

I'd certainly find it useful,don't always think to look for that under products.

Blu · 15/06/2005 20:56

Had a look at Products but it seems to be used for an entirely different reason...not many special offers there.

Agree cheapskates would be a good title!

kama

have you tried superdrug or Sainsbury's? (haven't read other thread)

OP posts:
helsi · 15/06/2005 21:53

yes good idea. thinsg like BOGOF's and discount sales etc.

Miaou · 15/06/2005 21:59

have to say, I would look under "products" for such an offer. Perhaps the topic thread title could be changed to "Products and Offers"?

We'll put this on the agenda for our next meeting. In the meantime, please post any you see!

emmamama · 17/06/2005 19:45

Could put discount codes on as well. Never pay Tesco delivery charges again!

lunachic · 17/06/2005 19:57

good idea is the order codes thread still going i loved that!

Janh · 17/06/2005 20:00

Didn't there used to be a Bargains topic? What happened to that? (Or did I make it up?)
