It's my cheapest place for the instant coffee I use when I can't be bothered to brew real. They had some Douwe Egberts large jars in today which are handy as mini Rumtopf (since I grow lots of soft fruit) and popular as Xmas prezzies.

More engineering related, a goodly selection of nice wood chopping boards potentially useful as mounting boards for models @£6.

Also some decent sized stone chopping boards at a tenner…for anyone that might consider buying three as a flattening exercise for a poor man's surface plate set?

Off engineering again – but they also do decent quality cheap work socks to the point that over the last year I’ve converted my sock draw to just those and one colour – makes post laundry pairing a doddle.

Something I found in B & M was a small white board with pen and 4 week magnets OK for holding paper. I use it a lot in the workshop when I need to write down a measurement so as not to forget.

I don't need a large one as I am not into getting stickers and wasting wall space, what is it with people collecting stickers other than look who I got one from bragging rights

Always worth a visit

Biggest problam is getting out without buying something

The big boxes of After Eights for 2 quid a pop have been my most recent issue

Bird feeder stuff and dog bits can be a steal compared to pets r us etc
