Great World Cup Stuff Hunt

What's it about?

A few weeks ago I flagged up a cheap England shirt in my weekly email. Many MoneySavers have been discussing World Cup bargains since.

Whether it's a cheap source of World Cup related flags, shirts, toys or even just memorabilia I'd like to tap MoneySavers' collective research power and gather the bargains in one place.

It doesn't just have to be England goodies. If you support a different nation and have found a good source let others know.

What to do?

    On a slightly related note, here is a list of the top five worst world cup gadgets:

    The clothes shop Republic are selling all of their womens 'world cup' clothing for £5.

    This includes jersey zip up jackets which were £19.99, England & Brazil t-shirts which were £14.99 and lots of different types of vest tops.

    I'm presuming they have little faith in England getting very far as they must thinnk time is running out to get it all sold.:D

    BTW - the zip up jackets are a bargain. Well, so my 14yr daughter old informs me :rolleyes:

    sorry - I didn't notice if there were any mens items reduced!
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    There is a shop on ebay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/HomeSpaceDirect - it has England duvets (one of the few nice ones I found in double bed size) and towels.

    Went into matalan last night and bought my boys 2 sleeveless england tops which were half price(£5 each)and you got a free flag(which is quite big)worth £2,you get one when you buy any england clothes,the woman on the till said one per transaction so i said i would pay for each of them separate which stopped her in her tracks,eventually she did put them through and they did go through as free,so i got £48 worth of stuff for £20

    Woolworths are selling off all their England stuff. I bought a navy blue woolly hat for £2.50 (was £5).
  • The Village Card Shop, Haughton Green, Denton, Manchester have some fantastic bargains for world cup gear. Cheaper than all the supermarkets but they have limited stock left. Large flags on poles only £4.99 (these are £8.99 in sportsworld) Little England kits to stick in the window at £1.49 (£2.99 in Sainsburys) and 6 metres of bunting at £1.99. Double that in most places. They also have hats, magnets for cars and loads of different sized flags. All very cheap. The real McCoy too. ! Worth a visit if you are in the area.
