Cheap picnic basket

Bubblefett

Anyone know where I can get a cheap picnic basket? I've a few days out planned over the summer and it'd be handy to have one so I can pack our own lunches.
Ideally one of those cheasy wicker ones but honestly once it does the job I'll be happy

Sorry, not exactly sure what you think is cheap, here's a selection of what I've come across from online browsing

Dunnes Stores €60

Bandon Co-Op €39.99 - a bit location specific I know, but they're part of the Arro group so the basket might be available from a store closer to you.

Littlewoods Ireland €94 - use 20% off code shown here this becomes 75.20. The picnic basket looks very similiar being offered as a prize in a John West competition on Pigsback.

Eircom Rewards €60 - yes, technically this is a gift hamper, but with all the goodies you get for the same price as the Dunnes one, looks reasonable to me, just buy plastic cutlery in supermarket chain when you've emptied the wicker basket of the foodstuff! And you have to have an Eircom a/c but I'm sure you know someone who does.

You might have much better luck wandering into a TK Maxx or some other bricks and mortar store but that's the best of what I can find online currently.

We got something like this one (at €52) from Next before and find it great - not exactly a basket but very handy for storing everything.

Loads in TK Maxx Cork, the one that looks like it's about to fall off the teetering pile of picnic baskets, middle left of photo, was the cheapest at I think €27 for a 2 person set.
