    The store in Dudley is well stocked on Olympic stuff too :) I got a Beefeater figurine (99p), 2 union flag key rings (39p each), an 8 colour pen (49p) and 3 rubber ducks (tennis, swimming and boxing at 99p each) :)
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    Does anyone know if Home Bargains will be getting the 3 Olympic lion teddies back in stock? My niece got them a week ago, they're really cute and I'd love them too, but my 2 nearest HMs don't have them anymore and don't know if they're coming back in? (I consoled myself with buying cuddly Wenlock and Mandeville, but its not quite the same :)).

    Hard to tell, they are buying excess stock, i guess they might be a possibility after the games but its always hit and miss with Home Bargains

  • oh wanted to do a picture of our olympic stuff before we started giving it away (collected over the past few weeks from nw stores)
    mostly from home bargins & poundland the gel stickers (bottom right) were morrisons 50p
    the union jack suitcase at the back was tkmaxx £19 (needed it for our trip to the olympics :j)

    southport today still has lots of keyrings, mobile phone danglers, pens, cars, pen and keyring sets, metal beefeaters stress balls a couple of backpacks

    all these were still full price in london at the official shops

    i also bought a team gb drinks holder from tesco for £3 down from £10 i forgot to put it in the photo

    That is an amazing about of stuff! I can't believe Home Bargains is selling the stuff off so cheaply. Saw loads of those things full price at an official olympic stall but got a couple of £6.99 keyrings for 39p each in Home Bargains. Really glad I didn't buy one at full price now. You gotta love home bargains.
