    Where can you get cheap mugs (under a £1.00 from?)

    Asdas have them from £1.00
    Wilko's only have nice ones from £1.00

    x

    Asda do plain white mugs for 25p, good size too! I've bought one and going to try and draw or write something on it in silver pen. If it works I'm going to buy the mugs for next Xmas ;)

    Poundtstretcher/ Instore have Xmas mugs for 59p.
