    Also bags of luxury chocolate bar misshapes, these are the Thorntons bars, approx 10 in a bag for 99p.

    ETA Wendym, your post has just reminded me that I forgot to look out for more of the Footprints washing powder, I'm really impressed with it, especially at such a low price.

    I've just done a quality control test (ie opened a jar - which took some effort) and I think they're a brilliant 59p worth. I bought from Sheffield Parkway this morning. There was a good selection of edible things. I also got Crayola three-colour felt pens, glue spots, and Pirate sticker books.

    They had the Eddie Stobart radio controlled trucks for £19.99 (RRP £50!).

    Went to Parkway yesterday and couldn't see any of the sundried tomatoes (booo!) but they still had glue spots and Eddie Stobart trucks.

    Also got...
    Theakstons Lightfoot ale £1.50 for two bottles
    Trident fresh cool lemon chewing gum 10p
    Bag of chocolate bar misshapes 99p
    Thorntons caramel shortcakes (mmmm!) 99p
    Footprint wash for whites 49p
    Lots of Woolies sweets - little bags for 19p and liquorice allsort boxes for £1.49. Retro!
    Alpen granola cinnamon cereal (fab!) £1.49
    Deet-free insect repellant suncream SPF 15 99p - they also had aftersun
    Various Cariad aromatherapy shave products for women (eg exfoliating pre-shave and shaving oil) 49p each!

    Bargaintastic!

    is the footprints washing powder tested on animals? If not, then will be worth the trip. am going on a diet and don't want to be anywhere near the Thorntons mis-shapes unless necessary!!

    From the About Us section:
    Footprint products contain no animal ingredients and have not been tested on animals.

    I wish I had bought a dozen!
  • Picked up a new computer keyboard - RRP 24.99, they were 2.99. Says dust and splash-proof, I'm hoping it's true as the old one fell to both :D
