..................found for £1.
I'm talking about Lakeland heavy duty oven gloves. I've bought new from Lakeland in the past - although back then they were about £6 - because they last for ages and are really good at heat protection.
These found at a recent boot sale are hardly used - a handy bargain. Also picked up this brand new Dinosaur playdough set for £1.50 right ready for the next time the 3 year old dinosaur expert visits.
Back Tomorrow

Those oven gloves are great. They are the ones I always buy.
ReplyDeleteAnd I stand in awe at the dinosaur knowledge of 3 year olds. X
I was shocked to find how much they are new now. Luckily the ones I've found and the two I have should see me out!!
DeleteThat was a very good find. Those oven gloves are very effective. xx
ReplyDeleteMuch better than some I've had in the past
DeleteTwo excellent bargains. I'm hoping to go to a village Yard Sale on Saturday if the weather is decent
ReplyDeleteI think there is one somewhere locally on Sunday - need to check
DeleteIt's so hard to find a good pair of oven gloves, so you did well to find that bargain on ones you know work.
ReplyDeleteVery expensive new now - I would have thought twice . Luckily the 3 I now have should last me the rest of my cooking life!
DeleteA bargain indeed. Who would have thought that when Lakeland Plastics first advertised in magazines using just one page that hey would go on to having catalogues and shops in most towns and cities. From their advertising in a magazine I bought six plastic picnic plates which had three indents for different foodstuffs with one of them to hold a drink. We used them regularly when my daughter was a toddler and I still have them now. ..
ReplyDeleteI can remember when they only traded from a stand at County Shows - the queue used to be huge to buy from them.
DeleteSince they shut the Ipswich shop I've only bought very occasionally by post
Your grandchildren must love to see you and find out what new surprises you have for them.
ReplyDeleteI love to find surprises for them - always aimed to be the opposite of my own Mum!
DeleteGreat finds
ReplyDeleteVery useful
DeleteI used to love thumbing through the Lakeland catalogue, they certainly used to represent good quality but I haven't bought from them since we moved away from a place where they had a store. Those oven gloves look very practical - I dislike the ones with foam in, they don't bend easily!
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
Can't remember when I last had a catalogue from them - perhaps I didn't change my address last time I moved
DeletePrices are still climbing so finding a bargain is a bit of a gift. You are lucky to find the best buys.
ReplyDeleteI'm still searching for useful things that will save me a few pennies
DeleteProper oven gloves!! Mine are very nice to look at but using them is like trying to lift pots out of the oven between two paperback books, there's virtually no bendability. I keep thinking they will get better with age, but two years later and they are still the same.
ReplyDeleteI've used Lakeland oven gloves for quite a while now - best protection
DeleteI bought oven gloves at Tuesday Morning store last year and I really like them. Much better than regular ones. I got one for my daughter in law as well. It's usually cheaper there. I need to see if that store is open anymore. Last time I was close to it, no more store sign. 😕
ReplyDeleteWe have shops shutting here too. - very worrying
DeleteNice finds. I found some new-with-tags oven gloves while I was decluttering today ha ha. Won't have to buy new ones - as long as I remember where I put them!
