I think it's now available more widely than when it was launched a month ago. It's just ok, better than the original but again it won't be a repeated purchase by me.I'm not sure if the Butterfly Walk, Camberwell, London branch has the fruit and nut Twin Peaks but I know they have the original one, will have a look when I go in later.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I went in today for a mascara and some hair clips but thought I should report back on my other findings
.
Much of the Christmas stuff was 1/2 price to 50p, and the more expensive items also reduced. I bought some spiced biscuits (400g packs, delicious any time of the year, exp 11/2019), tubes of orange Smarties (130g, making it relatively inexpensive for chocolate) and a Santa hat for next year. There was also a load of elf stuff, "decorative" signs etc also for 50p.
What is also worth looking for is The Original Candle Co. merchandise (example pasted below) reduced to 50p, albeit with a limited range of scents. I was very happy with the tins (second from right) from earlier this year, so bought some more:
The Jo Malone / Aldi imitation candles were nowhere to be seen!Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Woops, also these from Union Street, Glasgow - fat-bottomed mugs that look rather cute (in coloured spots and strawberry design) £1 - dishwasher safe - though I have loads of mugs now
Not so keen on the blue pattern or pink flowers design.
Edit: Just realised they bear similarities to Emma Bridgewater mugs.

I popped in earlier - not exactly sure why, as I don't actually need anything! - and saw this. I didn't buy it because having been sucked in by similar claims before, I have always been disappointed (if it's worked, my hair has been an oil slick by day 2 - and I am now trying to wash less rather than more in a vain attempt to retain the colour).Catwalk TIGI Curls Rock Amplifier for definition and separation, 42.8ml, £1.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Did the candles in tins give off much scent when you were burning them? They were being marked down to 25p in my local store today.0 -
Yes they really are worth it as they smell great, give a long burn time and burn to the bottom of the tin. 25p is an excellent price so go grabbit!catswiththumbs wrote: »Did the candles in tins give off much scent when you were burning them?
