    Thanks very much, OP. I just ordered some pens and keyrings. Such a good find! Don't forget Topcashback 3.03% for the Entertainer.

    I also found a few bargains on Play.com. Olympic hoodies for kids reduced from £29.99 to £4.99 and T-shirts reduced from £12.99 to £2.99 and free delivery:

    Just a hint you can probably get it cheaper at their ebay store since they charge less for shipping there.

  • 99p? Are you sure? .... I've been to three home bargains this past week and in all of them they are 59p each. You're either mistaken or they've over charged you.
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
  • Just wanted to add, do people actually think these are bargains? I only ask because almost all this stuff is in home bargains, keyrings pen set etc, theyre 39p/59p and you could go in and buy 24 of them cheaper than that website.
    Another example, They have the 45cm mascots for £2.99 ... Its £9 on this site.
    And all the 20/25 cm mascots are 59p each .... This site is charging £5 plus?
    I just find it a bit odd that dispite all the other threads about it,yet more threads are being posted about 'olympic bargains' that aren't actually a bargain at all.

    You can reserve in store for certain items, assuming there a local store

    I understand that, and not all of the great deals they have instore are available online, but they do have a website which was (not sure if it still it) selling it.
    I didn't mean my other post in an offensive manner. I'm just puzzled by some of the posts i've seen recently, A lot of the time people have their location under their avatar picture and they are in locations that do have home bargains or a quality save, which is exactly the same store.
