Is it just me or does everyone else think HB are lacking in good buys this last week or so?
I went in on Thursday and couldn't find ANYTHING I wanted other than a few packs of biscuits and I only bought them because I have to buy something when I go in. I've never come out of a HB store with only biscuits before.

I like the sound of the Pirates Scene It game but they didn't have them in the Doncaster store when I went in on Thursday.

Couldn't agree more. Went in today and spent money on basics, nothing that really said "wow- bargain"
Very sad...:(

Was in Cardiff store earlier this week, nothing special there so I set all the kitchen timers to go off at 1 minute intervals, took me ages there was 30+ there!

I bought a kitchen timer last week, and it doesnt work, so could be less annoying and noisy than you'd think!!!!

I've not been in for over 2 weeks (ages for me).

Every time there's just been fewer things I want

Keeping fingers crossed in the run up to Christmas though.

In my local branches it's been the same old stuff now for weeks and weeks. All I seem to buy now is a handful of the 10p Trident chewing gum and some of those packs of 10 'Paradise Bars' (Bounty copies), which I highly recommend.

Otherwise, HB are slacking IMO. I used to enjoy the fact there would always be exciting new stuff every visit!
