Default Tesco Materials

I'm off to the pretty s.hitty city (Swansea) in the morning and they've got one of those Tesco Extra shop thingy's there (unlike over here in the sticks!!!)

Anyway, I read the post about cheap materials that was posted a few weeks ago and was wondering what other suprises I could expect to pick up there.

Cheers

FJ

Hi,

I was in "the works" today, they had some holographic tinsel, equivalent to utc medium. It some kind of xmas decoration, the tinsel is in strips of about 18 inches long. Comes in silver, red and gold (the gold is quite yellow), there must be 100 or more strips on each card and you get 2 cards for a £1. Should last years!

I have yet to use it, but it looks good to me, its not too think so should wind around the hook well.

The works have some interesting stuff. Perhaps worth a look to see if you can find a works while you are in town.

My gf was talking about a big craft show at the NEC, she was saying how her mate did not want to go. I don't know when it is but I will be encouraging her to go!

Happy hunting!


A

Yep, that's the stuff Chris. Thanks for the link, this could get expensive!

Cheers

You can get a huge bag for your boat seat for about 15 quid in the golf section and they have wheels.
