Went to a few shops today as we needed a few bits and pieces. At home i've noticed that they didn't charge me for the most expensive item I bought in Homebase (they did key in the code on the till because it didn't scan, but i didn't notice when i paid for everything that that item wasn't on the receipt otherwise -stupid me - would have offered to pay for it). Bought a few things in Woolworth and i looked at the receipt at home only to see that a beautiful powder blue cardigan for dd was charged at £1.99 (i only bought it because it was reduced from £12.99 to £8.75 or simmilar price). i had to check the receipt three time because i couldn't believe it. And in tesco i spotted this toddler fleece jumper (their value range, i didn't know they did 'value' clothes as well) reduced from £2.50 to £1.50! I bought it mainly because it's very good for spring weather, and i expect it won't last long at this price but i don't care, it's a pretty cerrise/fuchia colour so it's nice. So all in all pretty good. I'm useless at finding real bargains and today it all just happened (be it even for the cashier's fault). Did this sort of thing ever happened to you. What really good bargains are around at the moment?

My bargains:

Bought an outfit for ds1 and ds2 to wear to our wedding in June.

Navy blue blazer for a 2 year old in Gymboree - reduced from 47.00 to 36.99. (Oops US keyboard, no pound sign). Paid 16.99 less 30% (we had a voucher that some friends had given us giving 30% of everything we bought today) - so 12 quid! Now thats what I call a bargain!
And he looks absolutely gorgeous in it! Teamed with a blue shirt from Next and a pair of chinos. Looks like a mini version of dp

Got a check shirt and trousers for ds2 who is 6 months old, also reduced! He looks totally gorgeous too - not that I'm biased or anything!

Very impressive - I was looking for matching smart outfits for my DSs for a wedding and am getting very fed up with the fact that most shops only sell blue clothes for boys....

Just realised after posting and reading the others, that my bargain does look a bit out of place ! I bought Spacemonkey a pair too

( Saw a pair of thigh high black patent leather 4 inch heel platform boots in Ann Summers today, reduced from £150 to £15. Too small for me though.)
