Seriously, the budget shops and pound shops do provide some great things. Go there with the right mindset on and you can get tonnes of stuff.

Agreed and you can get things like jars and container's really cheap.

We haven't got a poundland round here, have to go to another place to find one, but they do have some good stuff, but also a lot of Carp that I wouldn't want to buy.

The foil blankets are ok, the shelters are also well worth a £1. Some of the glow sticks are ok too.

Another vote here for the pound stores.

We've got about 3 in our town, and I bought some great outdoor stuff in my 99p shop a year or so ago, including mess tin, camping knife, emergency mylar blankets and other stuff.

Except the fare to get there will negate the saving
