    if you know someone who had the star ,the voucher is still valid.
    not sure about another 1 from sainsburys , but sometimes there are £5 off vouchers in the papers for some supermarkets.

    I'm looking to store some fireworks for Christmas (they never start selling them till afterwards which is too late for me).

    Do you think I should buy now. Or is there generally plenty left over after november the 5th with maybe some half price clearance sales?

    I would wait till after the 5th if you're planning on buying from a supermarket.

  • We used the Lidl fireworks tonight. The £7.99 selection box had some good fountains, but the 60 shot firewroks didnt do much more like 3 shots then that was it!

    The bigger rocker packs which were £7.99 were pretty good although a mixed bag. Strangely the smaller rockets did the better explosions, the big ones didnt do a lot.

    We finished with the cake (fire) which was £9.99. That was excellent, lots of shots and fantastic explosions a real display in itself.

    Overall for the £30 I spent was really pleased with them

    The Weco fireworks really are great value for money, I agree with you on the firefighter cake, its excellent for £9.99

    As for the cyber box, yeah the 60 shot barrage always seems like that when I fire, would be impossible to count the shots as it seems to up in seconds which is a shame really.

    Glad you had a good night. Can't wait to fire mine on Tuesday :)
  • Does anyone have any feedback on the fireworks Waitrose sells. They have a selection pack for £15 BOGOF and I was wondering if it was worth it?
