Www.halfcost.co.uk
The website is very hit and miss, some real tat and some real gems. Check the site frequently, sometimes I could order loads of items and sometimes nothing. I've just brought 8 pretty nail files, 2 dog themed fabric bunting, a gutter cleaning tool, a jls top, and a dog Christmas hat/scarf. Total cost £7 with free postage! I've never brought anything expensive from them as their customer services is really badBest wins in 2013 £200 and Mini iPad. 2014 no wins. 2015 2 nights 5* hotel with £300 vouchers plus £1150 Harrods gift card
