  • Thanks for the replies everyone, I will try Tesco, Asda and TKMaxx for a cheap mat! :beer:
    Just got in from shops, Sainsburys have all fitness stuff reduced, mats were £2 I think.
  • Hi
    Don't know if this helps, but in my local Sainsburys (Birmingham) a few days ago they had exercise mats reduced from £4.99 to £1.49. They are light blue, not sure of the quality, but they looked ok.

    oops hadn't read this before I posted.

    got some Salter scales from HB yesterday (Mansfield ) for £7.99 thanks for the replies.
    Shame I didn't like what the scales said but I walked past the biscuit and choc aisle before I bought them as I knew what the likely outcome would be like!
    I also got lots of the Asda party favours(thanks to op)
    shoe storage boxes about £2 for pack of 2
    weetabix and alpen bars (good if doing SW) for 15p

    Avoid the Lyddingtons ones, if they're the ones in the pink and brown stripped bags - they are truly yukky!

    hiya they are in a clear cellobag and say "luxury chocolate mis-shapes" on the front, usually on the bottom row of the sweets near to the lyddingtons.

    Oh in that case, we've had them before just couldn't really tell they were, as it was just full of dark chocolate. Thanks anyway.

    I read a good money saving tip on the OS board about cutting these in half and it works great.
