    Just got back from Prenton branch. Got some of the 19p Lloyd grossman nuts. Loads of the Amoy noodles as already mentioned. Also picked up 2 x tommee tipee baby cups for 99p each (£4 in boots etc). Not got the technical know how to post a picture but they had the ones with the fold down straw, which I can honestly say are FABULOUS and leak proof. They also had the on the go sports cap type ones - also for 99p. They had some good stuff to keep young children entertained on long journeys - a travel colouring book in a case with crayons for 99p and an eye spy game board for use in the car for 99p. They also had hamster cages for £14.99, not that I need one but may help someone. It looked quite good and cage had 3 different levels.

    Got a few bottles of £2.79 wine - a Pinot Grigio and a Shiraz. Will post full details if they taste nice lol!! :T
