Two rather fabby largish pieces of vintage fabric found in one of the local charity shops - 50p each. Not sure whether to keep hold of them or to try and sell them on ebay. I've had some quite reasonable successes with selling vintage fabric on ebay in the past but, on the other hand, I do rather like these prints - especially the op art-style one. Hmm, I'll have to think about it.
Another excellent bargain today was something far less pretty, but a lot more useful. A pack of 12 Nouvelle toilet rolls for £1.66!! Super bargain! Somerfield have 12 packs of Nouvelle on half-price special at the moment - £2.50. I bought one pack last week and decided, as I didn't have much other shopping, that I'd get another this week too. Along with death and taxes, it's a certain in this life that toilet paper will ALWAYS get used eventually.
Anyhoo, I'm just checking out the 'battered tins and split packaging section' at the back of the shop - 'cos you just never know what you might find there - when I spotted three 12 packs of toilet rolls stacked on the floor. They had 33% off stickers on them so were reduced to £1.66. I think they were reduced because some of the packaging is torn but, really, who worries about that! I wish now I'd bought a second pack of 12 rolls too but I wasn't sure I'd be able to carry them all in the shopping trolley. Even the lady at the checkout remarked what a bargain it was, and wondered if they were reduced because they were near their sell-by date!!
Great fabric bargains. Good deal on toilet paper too.

Snap! I bought 2 of those packs of toilet rolls from Somerfield on Saturday - as you say they will always get used up. Great bargain getting the other ones reduced even lower.

How lovely green, blue and white are together.

I love both of these prints. I'd keep them for sure.
