I hope this helps

It's where The Pier used to be. I still haven't been in yet - I'm scared for my credit card!

Hi cuddlymarm,

I've added your thread to the existing Lakeland thread to keep the replies together.

They are cheaper than the Stack a Boxes so sadly won`t be as good quality. But I wonder how they compare to the cheap take-away style tubs that a lot of members here use. I wouldn`t want to pay over the odds if they are the same i.e. quite flimsy. I bought some from the £1 shop but a sharp splinter of plastic broke off when I was giving them a quick wash before use. I was quite alarmed to think this could easily get into food and be eaten.

Lakeland Sandwich Spreader:

I never buy the silly cookshop gadgets and OH thought I was mad for buying it but I use it every day to make my sarnies and under £3. When I used to make hundreds of sandwiches a day for a living we always used palette knives and this is in effect a smaller version...a larger surface area to spread the filling stops the knife digging into the bread, especially if you have to use thin sliced because the OH is on a diet!

Agree that a lot of the stuff is unnecessary. However, I find their zipit and press-it freezer bags really useful, and the long thin felxible plastic scraper they have for squeezing the last drop of product out of jars and cake mixing bowls is in regular use. But oh dear, that silly banana ripening tree.........

I am new to Lakeland - I agree some stuff great and others a bit gimmicky. Received my (too large) order last week and amongst other things I bought the mop - as I am almost 6' tall it has an extendable handle and holds water so well I can mop floors in half the time so def highly recommended and worth the money.
Have looked a few times and the heated clothes drier - think it is £79 - does anyone have one of these and are they worth the money ??

I went to LL 2 weeks ago purely for the enamel tins (on 342). My mum always used these for baking when we were kids so if they were good enough for her to use then i wanted my own. Only bought the oval deep pan ones tho as i wanted them more for HM pies and the first thing that went into one was a beef n ale one so i am very pleased. I was disappointed with the depth of the pie plate tho as i remember mum's being much deeper, i even made her drag it out the back of the cupboard to check lol.
