The book people have a flash sale on at the moment https://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?pageNumber=1&categoryId=156235&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100

Peppa pig books and ben and holly books are reduced to 2.99 for the sets. I will be grabbing these as stocking fillers.

Thanks for that - just sorted out some stocking fillers & got the HP collection for my niece! Making a nice dent in the present shopping now

For an adult any idea what they are like for sizing?

For women I’d say they’re on the generous side. I’m not sure about men. Kids sizes are small though.

Ok,

So over the years friends or family always seem to ask me about certain items like whats the best TV to get or Games Console to buy or where can I get that toy that seems to be sold out everywhere, well I thought a thread here would be a big help to all those christmas shoppers. The Idea is that people can throw up a request or question and then we all try and help out as much as possible to help that person get the item they are looking for or suggest a better alternative or even a cheaper option, think of it as Santa's little helpers!!!

I'll kick off with a few sites that I use coming up to the big day.

Obviously there is our own bargain alerts thread

Hot UK Deals for all the UK bragains https://www.hotukdeals.com/

This one is great its stock informer, keep an eye on or get alerts about the hottest item when it arrives in stock across multiple stores. This saved my skin a few years back to get a snow glow elsa. https://www.stockinformer.co.uk/

Happy Shopping Ho Ho Ho

I think Smyth's have a 20% off sale starting on Tuesday for about week. It includes most things apart from games, Xbox's, etc and nursery!

Just make sure you check the date on these - Dealz are known for having short dates on things like this.

As long as they don't expire by Sunday I should be good :pac:

I deffo must take a look in Dealz this weekend for them, too good to pass up at that price.

Exactly what I was thinking. & if one or two get eaten between now & christmas, well so be it.

Getting this thread back up and running as we'll start to see some bargains coming up shortly!

Tesco are kicking off with two for 20euro on tins of biscuits:

I'm not sure to be honest. I very rarely shop in Dunnes!

ooh I wonder will Dunnes match that before the weekend - I have a load of Dunnes vouchers about to expire and I could use them and stockpile in advance!!

We were tempted fairly recently by a Dunnes spend and save voucher we got in the post. Never again. The saving was wiped out by how much more expensive Dunnes is than Tesco (because Tesco ha such a massive own brand range compared to Dunnes), and we couldn’t get half the items on our list. It was also a good reminder of how much of a pain it is to shop in-store. Back to Tesco click and collect!

Funnily enough, we tried changing from Dunnes to Tesco a while ago & having been used to shopping in Dunnes & buying alot of their own brand stuff found it difficult to get everything we needed in Tesco, we came out with what we thought at first look an okay weeks shopping with a moderate saving, but copped after a couple of days we had missed loads & ended up going to Dunnes to pick them up anyway, net result no real saving at all.

I'm one of those people that prefers to pick the stuff myself in store rather than rely on online grocery shopping (expiry dates never seemed as good with the online orders) anyway so despite it probably being a little bit more expensive will stick to Dunnes. Tesco is great for the odd trip to pick up some extra's but I could never do our weeks shop there.

We have been a Lidl & Tesco family for a good while now. Found for us it was a big saving over Dunnes, even with the €10 voucher. Also used the Tesco points to pay for ferry to the UK last year.

I mix between supermarkets and I always find Dunnes more expensive to do our weekly shop. I know somebody who raves about there €10 or as they call it 20% off everything but it never worked out cheaper for us.
We keep all our Tesco point for Christmas!
