I managed to get some crackers from Homebase for 99p have you tried there?
Rainee lol will think of you next christmas while we're pulling our "luxury" 99p crackers!!

just bought 8 packets of 12 crackers for £3.92 which is still cheaper than 1 packet before reduction for £3.99. Will do nicely for next christmas for school.

Was luckily enough to get 4 of the table runner and napkins sets today. They are really nice either red or white/silver from £19.99 to 49p again! Fab!

Good luck everyone else might try a different whs next week to check for other bargains!

Oh no ... I desperately wanted some of the table runners but nothing like that in the store I went to - in fact they hardly had anything. However did manage to get a DIY cracker set for 49p.

Hope the rest of you have more luck!

Not a huge amount at 40p in my local store, but did get the following in the sale:
2 packets of children's christmas cards reduced £5.99 to 49p. I liked thse because the cards has large badges on rather than a picture.
I chocolate lovers gift set (cook book, mini grater, measuring spoons timer) £12.99 to £2.99. Kids day out gift set (disposable camera and book) £2.99 from £12.99. Two radio pens £2.99 from £9.99. Science museum wild animals art set £4.99 from £19.99. Huge blue shiny cracker £9.99 to £2.99 to put aside for daughter's birthday party

The 49p stock in Canterbury was rather limited, they had quite a lot of the cheaper items so lots of wrapping paper and cheap cards, I did however stumble upon a box of snow flake lights that cover a widon, priced at £6.99 but scanned at 49p!!!! Thanks so much OP I would never have tried them beofre reading it on here. I also got a Horrible Histories gift bos for £2.99.

The Folkestone store had NOTHING left at all, no 49p things not even cards, I was hoping for a few bits. These are the only smiths I ever go near so I don't think i'll be getting anymore.

I got two mini christmas trees with baubles for 49p each down from£9.99. They had loads left today at Monks Cross, York (5pm)

you have to be slightly careful buying reduced Christmas cards. Some stores (notably Tescos) print stuff on the back that is date specific-ie Tescos have on the back to bring the cards in store to be recycled 'until January15th 2006.
I got some reduced one year, went to write them the next Christmas, noticed the date which made it v obvious I had been a cheapskate, and couldn't bring myself to send them! Instead, I sent them all up to my DDs nursery where all the little children had fun attacking them with scissors!!

I will try Homebase for crackers. Tesco just have cheapie ones reduced. I do have standards:rotfl: They must have originally cost at least £10 and now be no more than £1.50. Previous years bargains make you greedy. I'm also watching Boots. Their crackers still half price, but they will go lower as I bought 3 boxes a couple of years ago for £5 (they were 3 for 2 and reduced from £15 to £2.50).

I was looking for bargains in Woolies and the women next to me had an armful of 1/2 price cards. I sent her to WHS for the 49p ones. She went skipping off!!

I wouldn't worry about that. All my friends know I buy in January anyway - converted a few too.

Our LA sets up card recycling points in the foyers of its main buildings for card recycling. Also WHS do this. All cards gratefully accepted.
