I do apologise if this thread has already been created.

I am fully aware of the other thread titled something like "who's got their stuff for uni"... but most of the time people have just stated what they've bought!

So i was thinking perhaps this thread could be about good bargains people have got on items their taking to uni... which store it was from... how much it is e.t.c.

It would help someone like myself who hasn't really started...

Wooden cooking spoons from Tesco, about 18p each so I got four. ^^

Also got some nice striped tumbler glasses, green/turquoise/purple/blue, for about £1.50 for four. Pretty good.

lol
My dad lives alone and doesn't need all the cutlery so i'm taking a knife,fork,spoon,plate & bowl from home and someone has offered me some pans. So family is the best bet for kitchen-y stuff. I don't think there's anything else I need really.

sorry but 25p for plates/deep plates/bowls at ikea.. you cant top that.
i saw a 19p cup as well.. but it had no handle so wasnt too practical.

[kookoo_koochoo]

House Of Fraser have really good reductions on the bowls and plates etc and bedding stuff if you go around now to the start of September, and it's more likely not to fall apart when you pick it up lol

Ikea!

I managed to get an HP All-in-one printer from my local Tesco Super-magic-store-giant-place for £30!

Best deal even including my huge Ikea shop!

whaaa...!?

[~Ally~]

The cheap ikea mugs have handles, just reeeeaaaly small ones.
I'm starting to come round to the idea that i'll have to make 2 trips with stuff (going by train.. yay)
So i'm just gonna nab from home, methinks. i'm too poor to do otherwise
-x-
EDIT: having just been a geek and checked ikean website, you were right, the REALLY cheap ones (19p) don't have a handle.
I was remembering the ones i shelled out for (59p each )

The amount of money I'm going to have to spend on text books is highly annoying. Why are they so expensive?!!

Oh yer my grandma knitted me a scarf for free today...

Only buy what they don't have in the library, i only bought about 10 books throughout my whole 3 years at uni

Dunelm's brilliant. I got a whole load of my stuff from there....Pint glasses for 39p each! Bargain! And a full set of 5 pans for £30, good quality ones too. Check it out

You can get plain white plates from wilko's for 50p and a pack on 10 spoons (on their own) for 99p, same for knives and forks, pans can be as cheap as £2.50 there, or course they won't be brilliant but they do the trick for a while, for the beginning of my time at uni I'll get my stuff there, managed to add up that for 29 items (basics, like kitchen rolls, utensils, etc and a good amount of food) for £20.50 so it's a good bargain there, when I get settled and sort out what my money goes on etc, and get a job then I'll splash out on some good stuff xD
