    Likewise and I've added some items from Superdrug and Boots. Surprising how much you can pack into a shoe box!
  • I too stocked up, loads of lovely pencil cases etc Though someone could have a field day with R&R in my local store as all the SEL were completly wrong
  • Yeah, went to Tesco's yesterday with a mate, bought all of this. We were waiting outside for my brother to finish his football game on the pitches opposite, and we realized that we'd been overcharged for most of the stuff. I said, (very un MSE :o) that there was no way I was going back to claim £1 worth of stuff. My mate went instead, came back with a £3 refund and loads of stuff free (Tesco return policy :) )

  • My twins' bday soon so stocked up on loads of things for party bags. Some great bargains to be had.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
  • I was at Tesco this evening and they were selling hole punches for 36p - was very impressed. Also picked up the 24p gel pens.
    They all scanned at the proper price though.

    Best ever bargain: Rugby shirts (seconds) @ 20p
  • I got 25 pencils for 12p last week great for schools and teachers!

    My boys try to get out of doing their home work by claiming they haven't got a pen or a pencil. I bought loads of packs as stocking fillers, so they can't use that excuse anymore :D
    Here I go again on my own....
