[yummymummy]

I know I know its early, but I know some of ye are just as on the ball as I am, so I htought i’d start a thread on bargains people might have seen, to make this year (what with the credit crunch blah blah) a bit easier on us all.

Ill start, Heatons yesterday, loadsa DVD’s (cars, chicken little, toy story 1 and 2, monster inc) €10 each.
Books (peter pan, monster inc, aladin) 4 for €5.
PS2 games for €6-€8 (old ones but if your kids are anything like my 7yo they wont care, a game is a game )

Choice has a new homeware store up there to, and there was fab spongebob toys, spidermen, girls dressing up stuff all for under €20.

Happy Shopping

Yummy, thats great to know about the Heatons DVD’s, will definitely pick up a couple of them this week, E loves her films now!

Also, last weekend in Newry, the toystore was giving euro for pound – think it will be running for a while too..

Watch out for the Solomons warehouse sale – Yankee Candles down to €8!!

Taylor, every so often the have a clear out sale – their warehouse is up by McCabes Garden Depot – they usually have an ad in the Leader when it is on.

What are we like, but it takes the women to get everything organised. Last year for all of the nieces/nephews we agreed on a €15 Smyths Vouncher for all the kids. Went down really great, because all of my nieces for DS’s for Xmas.
My DH will kill me if i arrive home with any more Yankee, need to the thru the years supply i have first.
What to get the boys for xmas will be my biggest concern. They are big into football but i dont know if the are too young for the Football table thing. I know D would be happy with a footballer kit.
Get my holiday over with and school starting and then think about xmas

I like the idea of cinema vouchers! Would be great for 2 of my nephews and are impossible to buy for.
