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

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.

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.

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 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

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.

I reserved three items in Cork. Got a call some hours later to say that they only had one of the three now in stock despite their website saying earlier that all items were in stock.

Arrived to collect my one item and was told that they 'found' the other two I had originally reserved! Happy days

Thanks for this, Got 3 of them in Galway yesterday, they were wondering why the sudden surge in sales for it.

And handy with the AXA-plus discount on top as well..
