    Spotted the Wilton Border Punch in the big Ormskirk store today. ( the actual punch for the inserts.) I'd already bought one elsewhere on the internet, but bought one for a present as it was the bargain price of £1.69. (mine cost me nearly 12 quid! )

    If anyone else goes to look, they are on an end aisle across the middle of the shop.

    Also they have started selling the soup mugs, similar to Sistema, for 79p. I saw them in Ormskirk and Southport. There are 3, maybe 4, different colours.
  • I got one of those soup mugs seemed ok till i tested for leakage it failed might just be the one i got but if anyone planning on using for work just check beforehand better than soup all over your bag hth

    Lots of Dinomates dinosaur personalised magic face cloths - same as these for 39p (can't believe they're charging so much on Amazon!). My local had loads of names - both popular and less popular, so you'd got Harris, Kyle, Georgina, Lucy, Jonathon.......you get the idea - but you've got to rummage!

    Also had the Dettol no touch hand wash systems for £2.99 (inc soap).

    And I've no idea who snuck the Mr Kipling Toffee Whirls (like the Viennese whirls) (6 box for 69p) into my basket - but I thank them :rotfl:Oh, that might have been me :o


    Almost forgot - Rocky Caramel 5 pack for 39p :D
  • I found these:

    The candy mix inside the packet makes six chocolate/white peppermint candy snowlflakes, which are moulded inside six snowflake cookie cutters and can be given as a complete gift (cookie cutter and treat) inside the enclosed sellophane bags with gift tags. Or, of course, you could keep the cookie cutters and just make loads of chocolate/candy treats or biscuits :-)

    99p - they are £10.99 plus postage on Amazon.

    I can also recommend HB bag of broken choc fingers (79p?) - hardly any were broken and I think they're Cadburys :) Well if they're not, they taste good to me! Too good - they lasted about 5 seconds :o

    I agree! they are super yummy... but have a look in Poundstretcher, same biscuits, same packaging, 10p cheaper
    :p

    I bought two of these yesterday and then spotted the same ones but slightly dearer, 99p, at B&M Bargains. Might help someone who is closer to B&M than Home Bargains.

    Packs of 12 small bars of Green & Black's organic chocolate, lost the receipt but think they were just over £1.

    I just got some individual butterscotch ones £1 for 6 (or 20p each)
    ...and very nice they were too.
    Sorry can't remember anything about the boxed ones apart from the fact that they had a lot of bars with nuts in them. I stopped there.
