    Does anyone know if Homebase have reduced their real xmas trees?

    Wilkinson's have.
    I'd decided conditions were too horrible to venture to the superstores or smallholdings for one and went to buy a fake one reluctently in my high street and saw they have some very healthy ones for £18 and decided to get one after all despite the fact I was walking ! Went through the till at £10 and I balanced it on a trolly and walked/slid home with it

    Massive thanks to OP, Just been to Herne Bay(Kent) Homebase & got some great bargins.........spent just under £11 & got £120 worth of goodies...
    16 x metalic wrap for 29p each
    15 x metalic tags 9p each
    100 piece tree dec box 49p (was £9.99 , they had those in Gold & silver)
    6 x delux bow & ribbon sets 29p each
    3 x party poppers 29p each (were £2.99)
    1 x Add your own photo christmas cards 29p
    4 x choc gold coins 19p each
    Christmas trees were masively reduced some from £80 to £7.99

    There were still quite a lot left......so good luck! They had barrels of tree decs of all colours for 49p & packs of 3 x kids wrapping paper with matching tags for 29p. No crackers left! The staff has loads of them on a trollys which is fair enough!

  • Thanks OP just got some glass baubles at 49p each, giftwrap, tags and bows at 29p as well. My local store was cleaned out about a week ago, there was hardly any stock left by today, I'm guessing they lost out too much last year as I got LOADS of bargains then!

I also picked up a shabby chic looking fruit / cake stand which is cream for £5.99, it was with the normal sale stuff they were putting out, just not sure whether to keep it or give it to my sister for her birthday :rolleyes: :D
