What it says really.

Stanley type knifes, with a blade in, and a pack of 6 spare blades in a dispenser for 50p.

Absolute bargain. I haven't used them yet so I don't know of the blade quality etc, but at that price, it doesn't really matter. :thumbright:

Also, Hitch and Slayer, our Tesco is sold out since I went there yesterday :lol:

I bought a pack of blades from Poundland and found they do not fit my Stanley so that was a waste of a pound :lol:

I will have a look in our Tesco this week :thumbright:

You may scoff Royal but I have had a number of good buys for sundries at Poundland. I bought some rolls of carbide sandpaper which have been excellent, my rubber mallet (god knows where my original went) load of padlocks, glue, latex gloves, masks etc.

Anyway were else is there to waste time when your Mrs is in Next??
