Pots of gold help!

Tracey2609

Hi

I found these in Tescos last night it's a pack of 6 star shaped gold bowls -http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=270486443 - £2.00, in case anyone wants to look in their local store, they were with the napkins and party items.

Tesco also had mini Lindt Teddy Bears 4 for £1 - they've got an offer on the larger Lindt Reindeer as well - but sorry can't remember how much these were as I only bought the mini Teddies.

Any ideas on alternatives to chocolate for a diabetic - I bought a mixed bag of Honey Roasted Macadamias last night (having a complete moment - forgetting that they are dusted in sugar !) Mind you DH enjoyed eating them !

My tesco only has four bowls in each pack, even though the packs state there are 6?! :wall:

I'd complain to head office. - http://www.tesco.com/help/contact/contactus4.asp



I bought two of the cauldrons from Asda for my POG's and searching on eBay has lead me to 'cellophane hamper bags' as below. Bought two and they are perfect size

This seller also sells t hem but is a little more expensive and they don't give size:

Hi all

Just back from Hobbycraft and delighted with my purchases as they had little metal 'buckets' in gold that are perfect for my POG's and were reduced to 79p each ! They stand 7.5cm high and 8cm in diameter and they had lots of other colours as well. I think they were originally £1.59 each and as I need 10 wouldn't have bought them but thought they were ok at the reduced price.

Hope that helps someone

Thanks for pointing this out to me - I went by the shelf edge label, which states 6 pack and also on the website it's says 6 pack. But even the picture on the website if you zoom in says 4 pack and the pack I have is a 4 pack.

I've gone back and brought another pack of 4, sorry if anyone has brought these following my post

Yes they're very cute the same seller has them, and both my children's names. I was tempted, but they already have 2 moneyboxes and I didn't ought to spend more.
