Default Bargain of the Year

i went to Tesco with my mum and dad on saturday and i went strolling around while my mum sauntered about the store.

she called me and said that she had found favours (the stores HUGE) and i was to go to the cups, plates bit.

so off i went and she had found lilac bags filled with chocs for 10p each, so took them all and ive now got 30 bags to put pot pourri or lavender in for only £3.00 and tons of champagne chocs cause they only last till july.

they were for mothers day. so i gave her a bag filled with the chocs to keep.

they also had a little mum keyring in the shape of a heart so i now have 30 mum keyrings to give away to the first 30 posters.

Morning Niddy,

I popped into Tesco last night on my way home to grab some milk and had a quick look for you - sorry I couldn't find any

Hope you are able to find some somewhere - have you tried calling a few stores? Not sure if they'd be able to help you over the phone but it is worth a try..
