Very good prices those Ben, thanks for posting. I presume it's a warehouse open to the public? Can you just stroll in? And do you know if there's VAT on the prices?

Cheers

Hi si7

the warehouse is open to the public. i know they are open mon - sat. not sure about sunday though. Prices on the leaflet include VAT - so no hidden charges. The price you see is the price you pay.

i have to say - the Master Blaster rocket pack does look amazing. its quite heavy too which is a good sign.

Very good deal - i go there for all my fireworks every year.

Word of advice - if you do go - park your car at the big saisnburys just off the roundabout. Its only 2 mins walk away and free parking. The warehouse carpark holds about 7 cars and they queue to get a space for about 15 mins.

Blumming shopkeepers eh lol.

Hmm, got around £60 to spend this year. Just wondering about suggestions on what to buy?

Looking at starting it off with a carpet of smoke from some smoke grenades, with some sparklers spread out in a long line burning after a short time. (don't include that in the budget)

For the main display, I'm looking at, so far, from lidl, a 25 carat, an ipanema, a firefighter, and a fire pack, but that's only £35.

Was considering getting a few £5 variety packs from tesco, and a £5 pack of rockets, to take it up to £25, for the free cake? Do you guys think this'd be a good bet?

Thanks loads

Joe

P.S. I'm in Hemel Hempstead, if that helps.

Aldi Terminal Velocity Rockets £10
Lidl 25 Carat And Impanema £12
Aldi Liberator Pack £20
Lidl Firefighter £10
Colour Explosion £10 BOGOF

Total £62

If you are wanting a few fountins then id swap the Colour explosion for a cyberbox

mmm! i wouldnt bother with tesco i know a lot of people are buying from tesco but i think their crap the cake for free that they say is worth £25 is worth about £10 but thats just my opinion

i think you should get
1 ipanema
1 24 carate
2 fire fighter
1 fire pack
1 liberator pack or sky shuttle rocket pack (these are from aldi)

the reason why i recomend the liberator pack is because you get 9 barrages and on a £60 budget itl give you much better value

about the smoke bombs are you making them or are you buying the smoke bomb like fauntains that some firework shops sell

monsterberry1

i defenatly would get the fire pack from lidl as it includes some nice barrages for its price the coloure explosion on BOGOF isnt bad but its more of a roman candle no bangs if i can remember im shore it was coloure explosion
cyber box is a very good choice if you want some very good fauntains as their is some very small fauntains in it but you wouldnt belive the performance of some of them

mmk. I know the cake wouldn't be worth £25, the supermarket ones never are, but thanks. And thanks on the recommendations kk Thanks

The smoke bombs, I'm gonna probably be getting paintball smoke grenades.
