    Link to grinstore doesn't seem to work. Also I hope you are not suggesting people copy cd's to give to others as presents. As much as this site is about moneysaving, that is illegal!!!!

    Everyone with little girls should nip to Au naturel, in my store they had a load of bang on the door books that should have been £1.50 down to 45p. I have just got a load for my 8 year old cousin.

    Ooh I forget in in store (may still be poundstrecher near you) they have loads of books for adults like stephen king or Celia Brayfield, Cathrin Cookson ect were £1, now half price to 50p.

    Maybe ideal for hampers or just as a little prezzie on the side.
