The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

Really want to see an Asda leaflet, interested to see how much those large roman candles are as I could do with a few of those if they are of the right price

Will keep my eye out today for leaflets!

I've got a few bits from the Magnum range coming this week, really looking forward to trying them out!
A year round seller local to me had a half price summer sale, I picked up 4x little stars packs for £14 a hit, Total FX oblivion for £12.50, Total FX Tortured Tempest for £15, RP Gunsmoke for £15 and a Medusa for a smidge over £20, happy days!!

Woww im so jealous at those prices! Wish I had an all year seller near so I could pick up some discounted pyro during summer

Little stars are amazing, £14 for 9 cakes is brilliant value. When you take them out the pack you will think they are going to be ok but nothing special, but they really are brilliant for their size, i was shocked by the size and volume of the effects. I would deffo try to fire a couple in pairs if possible

Haha, I wish I'd bought more when I had the opportunity!!

To be honest I think all the RP packs are great VFM, and with a bit of shopping around there's always a deal to be had.

The Firework Warehouse are currently doing:

RP Fabulous 9 for £55 BOGOF
RP Fabulous 6 for £50 BOGOF
RP Little Stars for £48 BOGOF

The Little Stars are a bit overpriced, but reasonable for a BOGOF.

Have been debating calling into the firework warehouse for a few bits, ive been a few times in the past.

Been wondering if they are deffo still open though as their website doesnt seem to have been updated since last year.

Good point.... I've just called them, it rang straight to answerphone so I left a message. The domain name for the website was last renewed back in January, so they may still be trading...
I know that last year the guy running the business was suffering poor health. But did say he was moving premises and would be re-opening..

Having asked around, it appears the owner is still suffering poor health and not trading.

Thats a shame

Thanks for letting us know though!


Also, just checked and our local Asda doesn't even have any pyro out yet so no chance of a leaflet sadly.

Our local supermarkets are not very on the ball. Not a single piece of pyro in any of them or even any mention of fireworks today!

Also, someone pointed out on UKFR that they seen something similar to portfires in tescos selection. Really hope this is correct after first hint too:)
