    Just picked up three roles of wrapping paper at just 20p each! Also got a really nice pack of cards for 25p :)

    They had lots of choc coins left too but unsure of the price.

    I think the choc coins are 15p, they were on Sunday at least. I mentioned it earlier but I'll repeat it for those who missed it. You can get 3 mince tartlettes on the bakery counter for 44p. They're 22p each and 3 for 2, had quite a few sitting there when I had a look tonight. Lots of honeycomb choc oranges
  • All I could find tonight were the box's of Jacobs cream crackers for 74p not a selection box to be found, shame.

    I've just come back from Sainsburys (Chelmsford branch) and their packs of 24 Christmas cards are reduced to just 25p (down from £2.99)

    They have Peppa Pig, Hello Kitty and Cars as well as a couple of more traditional designs. They didn't have a wide range of designs but there was lots left of the ones they had.

    I thought the children's designs would be ideal for kids to give to school friends. Bargain buy if you haven't got 2012s cards yet (or if you just need a few more!)

    The larger tins were still £6
  • Also tins of biscuits (a nice retro radio style tin) down from £10 to £2.

    I went into Birmingham city centre and found a big tub of mincemeat. 10p!!! Popped it in my basket and strolled around looking for more bargains. The basket was really heavy - I anticipated the walk back to the office. Then I remembered I don't particularly like mince pies. Then I recalled I can't cook.

    I put the tub back......
