It's for people to share scrapping bargains that they've found at big chain stores :)

[GeordieGirl]

MaryAnne has made a post about it in the announcements forum

[KarenMB]

Just saw it. This is what MA says about it:

"We have also added the discussed Big Shop Deals forum which has very specific rules. It is NOT for scrapbooking shops or sites, only for things like the Heidi Swapp at Coatco, the Alwyas tins at Tesco, the lunchboxes at Asda, as well as discussion of QVC or Ideal World Craft Day items."

BTW, not sure if I was dreaming this, (these muggy nights!) did someone post that the Always tins are now available elswhere?

You can also join if you civil servant, local government, armed forces, nhs, etc etc. Best to ring them and get the catagories. You can't get in before 12 noon mon - fri. Mornings is trade only.
They still haven't had the albums at Reading yet, (I last went about 2 weeks ago) Hope the get them in soon.
