    I was in Clydebanks one last week and my fave buys were -
    10p packets of Pringle (crisp bag style - great for packed lunches)
    2 for a £1 Pilau microwaveable rice (OH likes home made curry but prefers to have proper pilau rice rather than home made boiled rice).
    2 for a £1 - Diet Coke 500ml bottles (again for packed lunches)
    Hugeeee tub of fish food for less than a £ - if I was buying branded stuff in the supermarket I would be over £5 for this size of tub.

    I came out of there with 2 full carrier bags and I spent just £9 - now that is what I like.

    £175 in paypal
    £15 from consumer pulse
    £5 M&S Voucher - thanks to direct line quote

    Bletchley has some wheatbag soft toys that you heat in the microwave - RRP £9.99 - selling for £1.99 - some cute puppies and some other weird characters.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.

    Supposed to be some time during May but the store did have a flood last week so it could be nearer June before it opens its doors.
