Homebase - gone crackers!!!!

Hi
I have just been into homebase and bought next years crackers

They are at least 75% off but some have more off so bought their luxuary ones for the oldies (were £30 now £4.99 = would never pay £30 for crackers)
and the kiddies ones for me:j (were £9.99 now £1.99)

    I remember going to Homebase last Christmas and got tons of bargains, it was around this time of year. All their decorations, trees etc were dirt cheap and most on 3 for 2! Unfortunately I'm not allowed to buy any decorations this year, I bought too many last year and the house resembles Santa's Grotto inside the house, not outside, can't be doing with the tacky Blackpool illumination look!! lol

    Will definitely be going to look for these crackers though.

    Thanks op!!

    I bought a load of crackers with 75% off last year, they were on 3 for 2 then aswell, I remember them flying off the shelves and people fighting over them......never a pleasant scene! I also bought lovely tree decorations and may just pop down and see what they have this year as I now have to make my tree more child friendly with a new addition to the family!

    Thanks OP. I called in at my local today. I decided not to get the crackers, bargain though they were, as I have promised my children I'd make homemade ones with them. But they had 3 large rolls of children's gift wrap down from £4.99 to 99p and other gift wrap and tags half price too. Chocolate coins were down to 49p a net too, and festive scented tealights were down to half price @ £1.99 a bag.

    One tip - some of the 'amethyst' gift wrap and plain colours wasn't exclusively Christmassy ... lovely stuff for through the year too.
