  • Spotted in both Bradford & Leeds today Fiskars Bow maker, winter border punch & hand punches. Sorry don't how to best to describe them but the card makers amongst us will know what I mean if not google as I can't post links. They were all 99p from a quick search they normally retail for £12+. They were amongst the stationary stuff.
  • Went to Home Bargains in Coventry today and found some Heinz Sweet Tomato relish in a jar for 39p.

    I popped into the one in Liverpool city centre (the one near Liverpool One) and got some of that relish so I can do homemade McDonalds ;)

    I also got some other grocery bits but probably could have spent a fortune even in there :rotfl::rotfl:

    I bought one today in HB Leek and it smells really, really nice. I am an avid perfume collector(!!) and have far too many bottles open at once! I normally like Calvin Klein perfumes and Dolce Vita...stuff that has quite a lasting smell without being sickly and this is perfect! Far more grown up than alot of the celebrity perfumes....reminds me a bit of CK Euphoria

    It's really nice, quite sweet-smelling, and goes on a bit strong at first, but it quickly settles and then lasts all day.
    I like it a lot and even though you get a large bottle that lasts a while even if you use it daily, I keep picking up another bottle when I see them to keep me stocked up.
    Would make lovely Christmas gifts too ;)

    I have been to 3 different Home Bargains & a BM as well in the past 48 hours :o BUT I've gotten most of my Xmas shopping done.

    I managed to pick up a little joke book for my dads hamper for 39p (A Tankful of motoring jokes) and a football DVD. Considering how hard he is to buy for I'm a very happy bunny :D Got some others but I can't post what they are - I know my mum & sis both read these forums :p:rotfl::rotfl:
