The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

looked at Sainsbury's fireworks range at the weekend - all a rip-off except the sparklers, which are well-priced.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone perhaps has a Lidl firework leaflet they could scan in to show what they have on offer?

Also which ones are worth getting and which ones you would stay clear of

Many thanks in advance

Lidl stocks:

Black Nebula selection box: £14.99 26pack. (10 fountains, 6 roman candles, 1 wheel, 3 cakes, 3 mines, 3 rockets.) i have got this. looks great. good selection.

Purple Moon selection box: £4.99 18pack. fountains, roman candles. (think theres a mine as well)

Blue Apollo rockets: £9.99 5pack. had these last year. quite big, nice bursts and quite loud.

Gold Medal rockets: £4.99 4pack. got these also. recommended - they are fantastic. double bursts.

Hayleys Comet: £9.99 (30mm tubes) 25 shot cake ejecting 25 silver comet tail to a king crackle burst, and silver comet tail to a silver strobe burst. got this too. very good.

Rainbow Storm: £6.99 90 shot cake lots of comet tails and stars and crackles. got this.

Cosmos Cake: £4.99 35 shot cake . lovely and colourful with bangs. i always get this.

I cant really tell you which fireworks to get because i dont know what kind of a display you want. but the best i have bought from lidl are:
gold medal rockets, and the cakes. especially for the price.

regards.

the cosmos cake and the rainbow storm look good - any idea how long they last approx?

Looking for some big loud fireworks if possible, prefer the cakes to rockets, would be intrested in some larger fountains too.

Does anyone know anything about

Select Fireworks (by Men Shun)?

A local retailer has them at supposedly massive discounts, but I suspect it's just overinflated RRP. Any ideas?

They also sell Night Star and Red Devil brands. None of which

Cosmos and Rainbow Storm yes get them!

However i have read that the Rainbow Storm is hollow in the middle and very window dressed. There is a lot of window dressing in the Black Nebula Box to.
