    Is this true??? We have a TJ Hughes but I rarely go in it,but if it has the bargains that you guys keep mentioning from Homebargains, I will have to start going more often. Thanks :j: :j:

    No sorry, I was wrong (often am). Home Bargains is part of TJ Morris. I got the TJ bit right...:p

    Just checked the website... http://www.homebargains.co.uk/

    Saw hat type boxes in Asda today, several colours and patterns, sets of 2 reduced to £2 something :D

    Went to Asda looking for hat boxes today no joy :mad:
    However, they have masses of gardening stuff reduced
    Kids Garden Tool Sets 75p
    Twist Wire 27p
    Hose Guns 66p
    Jeyes BBQ Cleaner 77p
    Pack of 4 garden candles 75p (they are about 2.5" high and are mini steel buckets with a candle inside)
    Mini steel planter pots 50p (again like a mini steel bucket about 5inches high)
    Balls of green garden string 49p
    Herb Stakes 37p

    I think everyone will be having gardening baskets next year :D

    Mary was it you who mentioned seeds being sold cheaply somewhere?
    I need some seeds now to go with the rest of my stash which I am going to put away and pull out end of Jan.

    crystal - oh eck............can't remember now whether it was me or not. Something was mentioned on the Greenfingers board I think and Woolworths were selling some seeds cheap but not in our branch which is typical. You often find them given with a gardening magazine but not sure this is the right time of year. Always worth a look in the newsagents. Could do with some myself to keep for ex foster girls basket
    Try Greenfingers and do a 'search' on there

    :wall: rainmac - I just went totally green with envy...........why haven'y we got an Asda ??? Why do we have to have co-op and somerfield ??????:confused:

    crystal - just had a peek at Greenfingers board and seems Wyvendale garden centres were doing cheap seeds........quite good by the sound of it..........just pop 'seeds' in the search box and it'll come up.
    And have we got a Wyvendale round here ?????? No we have not !!!!:mad:

    Shall I move maybe....................?????:rotfl:

    Yes I just went over onto that board to have a look too, have to say some interesting stuff - haven't been there before.
    They said Lidl do seeds from 29p in Spring but at the moment Wilkos; Instore/Poundstretcher & Woolies have them I shall try and have a look on Thursday and report back. Haven't got a Wyvendale either
