Can't wait to go on holiday to Blackpool, as I know there's lots of branches in the north.

Home Bargains in Crossgates, Leeds, today had:
* Dickey Donkey children's books for 49p - this was the CBeebies bedtime story read by Floella Benjamin tonight and is a really lovely thick book with shiny elements, perfect for toddlers and young children.
* Toddler flap reveal books 79p, I got all four to make a lovely set for Christmas.
* Disney Princess 100-piece jigsaws for 79p, suitable for 5+.
They were my biggest bargains.0 -

Hi, hoping some of you expert shoppers can help me!
Has anyone seen any supplies of the old style, discontinued
Natrel deodorant anywhere? I've picked some up in pound shops
recently but want to stock up if I can! Especially if I can find the
green 'fougere' one. TIA!0 -

When i was in today they had lots of lovely different pictures for around £4.99. I got some brown/green linen look ones which are a real bargain compares to some i almost got in au naturale..
Also, i got the 49p story books with CD. They had some such as sleeping beauty and other stories.
I also saw some disney princess colour in glittery felt posters in a big box. These looked nice for xmas pressies but didnt see how much they were.

It's like a rubber mesh that you can put under carpets and rugs to stop them from slipping; or use to anchor things in place to stop them rolling about, e.g. in cars, boats etc. It cuts to size with a pair of scissors - I bought a small roll, cut four 9-inch squares from it, and used it to anchor a 6' x 4' rug. (and still got some left over!)
Small roll, in grey mesh, is 49p
Large roll, in black mesh, is 99p
The cheapest I can find it anywhere else is £3.95 plus postage, so a bargain!0
