Got my partner one just before xmas he loved it. It has two faces only complaint there is no where on the figure to store the second face. Would be great if they got the Superman and and bat man ones in xx

Went in today for some plastic take-away containers - found myself bereft of them after multiple guests took leftovers home! It couldn't wait as I'd made a load of soup for the freezer and had nothing suitable to store it in - strangely I couldn't find them in Asda, Poundstretcher, Aldi or Lidl in the run-up to Christmas so had to make the effort to go into the town centre.

I couldn't resist looking at the Christmas reductions, there was lots there for 50p including bags of pot pourri, decorations, boxes of 6 pine-scented votive candles, fake poinsettias in foil wrapped bases, and Christmas cushions (you might not like the design, but 50p for a cushion isn't a bad price). What I ended up buying were lots of Christmas lights for next year (battery operated ones) at 50p each, and a couple of plastic travel mugs - the Blah Blah Blag design was the only one they had - but was delighted when they scanned through the till at 25p each. They are always so handy for the car / any kind of long commute.

Thanks! I went in for some mini-baubles and that is what I got, 18 in a pack for 50p.

I was on the hunt for dimmable light bulbs yesterday - I can save anyone else the pain of looking in Poundland for them, because although they do many varieties of bulbs, not the dimmable ones. <snip>

Not sure if you've sorted this out ....


... but does 6 for £14 float your boat ?

Possibly! The bulbs have been in place for a few weeks now but they flicker at times.

Disclose please?

Price only works out for 1 particular offer on 60W equivalent (806 lumens I think) that's a TWIN pack of Bayonet Cap "normal" size/shape lamps (BUT are DIMMABLE)

Place is SAINSBURY'S, price is £7 for twin-pack but currently a 3 for 2 offer

CORRECTION - Applies to 2 others if ES or SES fittings are possible/required (that's Edison Screw or Small ES)

A 60w ES FILAMENT type

or a 40W SES "Frosted Candle"

Thanks, that would cost me £49 to cover the 20 bulbs I could replace, but there are no reviews! Don't mind spending the money if there is a no-flicker guarantee, but from what I understand its pretty ubiquitous with dimmable LEDs, regardless of price.

Amazon Warehouse is excellent for LED bulbs, dimmable ones too, though you need to be prepared to dig/wait/expect disaster sometimes (referring to their hopeless grading!).

Eg, this one is dimmable and only 60p but there's only one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B01D1P8A8E/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

BUT I have shared HUKD posts of cheap LED bulbs where there's been bulk-listings - eg (non-dimmable and much higher priced now!) here and here and here!

Edit 8th January: Not exactly pence, but these Osram Dimmable LED E27 9W/60W Equivalent Bulbs (4 pack) may be suitable. £4.51 Like New https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B01MCV5LTN/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

22 individual items available at time of posting. With Amazon Warehouse, prices may go down or up over time.
