Cheap tent for 2 adults and 2 kids?

Options
Anybody know of a store or website cuttently doing a special offer on cheap and cheerful tents? I heard Tesco did some last year for around £8, is that right? I'd love to get hold of one for a similar price for our summer camping trip.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realise we cannot eat money

    The Lidl one is a 2-person, Argos have a 4-person one in the sale for £30 (a bit more waterproof than the Lidl one as well).

    if you dont want it to leak ,hold up in a storm and last a few years might be worth spending a little extra if you can afford it .

    panavia that halfords deal is fantastic they had a similar one last year too.
    At that price there is no excuse to say "we cant afford a holiday this year kids" you can pitch your tent in a feild for a fiver a night so long as the kids have a rock and a stream they need for nowt else. belive me some of my best holidays child and adult have consisted of a field a tent a river and a bush
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:

    hope you sleep well in it.At 8 quid it can only have been produced in a sweat shop in the far east,still it is cheap.
