    I went to Tesco today and bought 4 soft toys, 2 grey/orange wenlock and 2 white lions and a pack of jelly. the toys all went through free, so just paid 30p for the jelly!

    In this store there were 3 big boxes spread along the checkout queueing area. I 'bought' a few more which I shall be donating to various causes. Also on a hanging strip they had '2012' keyrings and keyrings with a tiny wenlock and mandeville on, the price was 37p
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)
    It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound in weight. Target 13 lbs weight loss. 18.5lbs lost 2nd May - 28 September.
  • Sheffield mothercare store has olympic pyjamas with capes for £2.00. There we loads of them in from toddler to older child sizes.
  • 90% off at Sainsburys tonight - chairs £1.50, picnic rugs £1, plates and napkins 25p. This was Holywood Exchange, NI:j
  • Argos have reduced a lot of their Olympic stuff by more now. I managed to reserve a four piece luggage set (trolley, pump bag, back pack and wallet) for £5.99 (I think) and a couple of holdalls and backpacks for less than £5.00.

    Thank you, I have reserved a zip up hoody for pick up tomorrow. Six quid for a hoody is reasonable. I just hope it suits me :j

    All the Argos stuff I stock checked is OOS for a long way round me but you might get better luck away from the London area?

    Clintons have their keyrings reduced by 90% - they aren't marked as this, they were marked I think at 75% off but scanned really cheap! Got the plush toys ones plus some figurine type ones - £3.65 for 5 - not sure of each price as can't find the receipt but I paid.

    Edinbugh woollen mill of all places also had their mascot keyrings, figures type stuff marked down 75% off (clothes were reduced by not by as much), and had the 50ps from £3 down to £2 each.
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!
