Thanks OP. Reserved a few items!

€12 for the following;

Halfords Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask 0.5L
Halfords 3 Piece Cookset Pack
Polar Gear Family Cooler
Halfords Spork Twin Pack x3 (€1 for three pairs, couldn't pass on that!)
Halfords Flocked Inflatable Pillow x3 (3 for €5 in the 3for2 offer - we have sleeping mats already so these will certainly be a welcome addition!)

Not too shabby at all!

I got the weird sleeping bag, some tumblers and the €5 non-waterproof 4 man tent.

I know its single skin, but the video below it advertises waterproofing?

Yeah, a fiver is a good deal, but you'd need waterproof in this country!!

Great for the kids to play in though. Cheaper than a toy tent jobby

I was thinking the same, absolutely perfect for an indoor/outdoor (on good days!) play tent.

Poles are junk fine for fair weather camping though.

I have the 5 man one which I presume uses the same poles. We were in Kerry in June and the weather was bad and there wasn't a bother on the tent.

Just got a phone call from the Coolock branch to say that half the items that I had reserved, which were in stock at the time, are no longer available.
I had a look after the call and it is still possible to reserve the items that I was told were out of stock.

This has happened me, only ever on bargains though. It has been suggested that it's the Halford's staff taking advantage of the prices and taking your reserved items.

A quick search of Halfords threads show it is a very common occurrence.

same here, ordered the picnic basket and got a call this morning.....not impressed at all:mad:

I reserved a few things last night and the small 1 and 0.5 litre flasks were not there when I went to collect them. As I had not been phoned to tell me about this the manager said he wanted to make sure I left the store happy, so he gave me 2 of these for €1 each! Thats a saving off the original price of €17!

http://www.halfords.ie/motoring-travel/camping-caravanning/camping-equipment/halfords-stainless-steel-vacuum-food-flask-1-5l

I ended up buying this tent as for €50 how bad could it be. I t will do until I get a proper roof tent for my Land Rover.

Jeez lads and lassies, those 4 man tents for a fiver are bargain of the year so far, ok they have a HH of just 1500mm but you cant go wrong for €5. Plus the Cooler bags that were €2 - a steal also at that price.

Thanks op.

Big thanks to OP!
I just picked up 2 today.

Has anyone ever used the waterproofing that you can get in a tin or a spray. Might give it a go.
Its just a bit mad that the 2 tents together is actually cheaper than the waterproofing stuff. ha

athtrasna

I didn't get an email or text to say my order is in store. It was due yesterday. Couldn't get through on the phone today , order was a couple of cooler bags. Worth going in?

You can get waterproofing in lidl from time to time dirt cheap, there are 2 kinds though you want the silicone one for a tent the other one is waxy.

Just to jump in here to say I was chatting to the Halfords lads in Liffey Valley, the shop was quiet and almost closed. They said Head office started the sale without stocking the stores in advance or informing them. They have been wiped out of stock and have no idea what is going to turn up on the delivery vans because it appears that those running the website put no limits on most of the sale stock. They said they can barely keep anything on the shelves so much is reserved and some of that reserve stock (depends on what was reserved) isn't arriving at all even though it was reserved online and is showing as arrived at the store to those who ordered.

TireeTerror

Thought I better post a photo of my €50 tent bought from this thread! You really cant complain at €50 for this. The stainless steel flask was also only €1, which had been on sale for €12 down from €18. I got two of those because the actual €1 ones I had reserved were sold and the manager was being nice and didnt want me to leave unhappy.

Is that part of it? add to the mayhem and get people into a feeding frenzy to just buy whatever is left, they know whats booked will sell, and they can just rely on people to pick up whatever crap is available?

It's probably over the top but Im having visions of them filming hapless consumers through one way glass and betting on the poor proles.

Picked up the Picnic Basket today. Good quality with proper plates & glasses as opposed to the plastic type.

Also picked up a Camaro Remote Control Car for €5

I got the same tent, one question about it - The "windows" at the front, is there fabric at the back to cover them up?

Yes, there is a triangular flap with toggles that cover those windows up. I will say there is a ridiculous design flaw, or corner cutting flaw in the design.

The part you can see that sticks out kind of like a small awning at the front doesnt actually zip closed at the bottom. This is only held closed by 3 small velcro patches which means if the wind ended up blowing into it, it would be likely to bellow in and and that part of the tent would get soaked if it was raining. It is a truly bizarre omission not putting a zip on it as a zip is not expensive and it would be the obvious thing to do and there would be no problems at all with it.

I will probably buy a few more velcro things and stitch them on it as I would more likely ruin it by trying to put a zip on it myself.

You won't get an update from them after your order confirmation. Just go to your chosen store at the date & time given on your confirmation email, although they will hold your order for a few days beyond that.

I've use my AxaPlus card for an extra 10% off anything that I've bought and there is a post somewhere with a 15% off discount for September.

Picking up a Swingball tomorrow for €4.20

Didnt seem to be any shortage of cooler bags in any of the 4 halfords stores I visited over the main sale week so worth checking out

Yeah I saw that too. In fact when I told one of my friends who lives in County Down about it, he came south and went into Halfords in Dundalk to buy stuff because of the huge difference, especially with that exchange rate it worked out great for him.
