In a word, YES, but I'd try WILKINSONS first

or even TESCO - had some for 37p last week in the "seasonal sale/reductions/clearance"

thank you very much, will pop to the tescos at coulby first then to wilkos :T:T Its the sort of item i don't really notice when out shopping, we have just got some lovely wicker type cones hanging baskets from b & q in the sale yesterday so need hooks asap

thanks again x

we visited the bridgend branch as we were down that way yesterday - have to say they have the rudest and most surly staff of any home bargains store that i have visited :mad: :cool:

they had the nivea day and night creams for those who are looking for them. i stocked up on the pollenshield hayfever tablets - bargain!

i bought some twisted sista curl creme for 99p which does the job just as well as the much more expensive trevor sorbie stuff that i normally buy. hope it's a regular item rather than a one off as i only bought one tube to try it

lol! They are like that all the time. There are very few members of staff who are decent. I like the prices but not the manner of the staff.

Had a biatch of a woman today I had loads of stuff topack and she didn't lift a finger to help me I just took my time and thought bgr you ! This was in Brynmawr btw I bought loads of the dog collection stationary for the dds to return to school with should sweeten the mood before they go . Yes I know it's seven weeks off but ... gotta buy it when you see it.

A little tip I got from this site a while ago was to look on the shelf edge label and if it has ONE written in the bottom left hand corner it means they are one off stock- when its gone its gone.
If it says REG - they buy them in on a regular basis.

pavlovs_dog -Hope this helps with the twisted sister products-this way you can check if they are one off stock or not.
I buy this for my daughters but haven't looked to see what the label says- shame on me! Just always seems to be there...:o should practice what i preach....

ooh that's handy to know shall have to check next time i'm in. cheers amumoffour :beer:

stressers - to be fair, whilst the staff at my usual HB haunts don't fall over themselves to help you, they do at least acknowledge your existence!

Is there any of these stores in Glasgow? I know of the one in Clydebank but is there anymore roundabout?

Also can't find a website...do they have one?!

Try Coatbridge opposite Albion Rovers Football(!) ground . It used to be a Lidl.

I quite like the one in Coatbridge for a change plus it has its own carpark so easier to get mountains of stuff to the car. I normally go to the one in Rutherglen Shopping Arcade and there is also one in Clydebank somewhere. There is one opened up in Galashiels and one due to open in Berwick. There's also a branch in Bathgate.

yesterday Rutherglen had

Savlon spray aftersun 99p

Smiths Chipsticks 10p per pk
Doritos Lime flavour 59p a big bag.

No perfectly clear water, guess I'll have to go to B&M for that.
