More Wilko stuff

[rik_uk3]

Just back from town, Wilkinson's are on their last clear out of camping stuff (in store), plastic poncho 2 for £1 (bung in your FAK), 'Survival' whistle 25p and these at £2.50. Set of mess tins, 2 KFS sets and hexi stove and comes in a nylon carry pouch.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

I got some great little spice shakers for 50p a pop last week and soap leaves for 50p to (lifeventure charge £4 for the same stuff). Always leave with something when i go there.

 

[British Red]

Is that mess tins, kfs, stove etc. all together for £2.50 Richard?

 

[Jared]

[Dave]

I dont get into town often enough to check mine for you mate but if i do ill get some and post on

Red, its for the whole lot, was £15, then a tenner, then a fiver now £2.50. Out of stock online but were in my local store; as you said, perfect little brew kit for the car boot.

They do a 'buy and collect' when you see something online, order it and pay and they drop it off a couple of days later at your local store for free.

Stove http://www.wilko.com/camping/highlander-stove-compact/invt/0299806?VBMST=camping worth every penny

Not tried but another member said they are good (50p) http://www.wilko.com/camping/wilko-shaker-salt+pepper/invt/0299773?VBMST=camping

Not tried but looks identical to one with the Primus brand that sells at £50 http://www.wilko.com/camping/gemini...e-redsilver-effect/invt/0331542?VBMST=camping

Tea lights (NOT longer burning night lights) http://www.wilko.com/candles/wilko-...candle&VBMTC=1d3fd4863713f75e8040976664f8cf9a

Long burn tea lights http://www.wilko.com/candles/wilko-tealights-8hr-burn-time-x-30/invt/0296291?VBMST=candle I've a folding candle lantern these fit.

 

[Dunx]

Popped into mine today but none of the cook/brew kits. Did have the salt/pepper shaker (although it was a highlander one as opposed to Wilko), few surivavl whistle/compasses and a small compass/whistle.

 

[Leiflet]

Oh, well, that's three can openers, two drysacks and a survival blanket that they won't have to store now.

Cheers,
Leif

Did you really need those Richard (and does the Hexi stove work well upside down like that)?

 

[rik_uk3]

No, lol, no need at all. My excuse for buying a couple was really just to use a couple of home made meths burners with the hexi stoves (and I've got hexi stoves)...... very sad.

I'm actually reducing stoves and kit in general; they're not being used so no real point in keeping stuff that just gathers dust as I don't get out and about much anymore... I'm still tracking a lantern on ebay just now though

No need. Its alright. I didnt actually go to wilkos myself. My mum rang me from town, so I sent her on a wild goose chase...

 

[Lister]

If nowt else, it's Gift-It-On fodder

 

[Harvestman]

Such a good heads up. I didn't get the mess tins, but I did come out with two salt and pepper shakers, a folding cup, a midge head net, a plastic cutlery set for the car, a set of three squeezy bottles for sauces, and a folding grill, and I spent very little indeed.

Nice one Rik

 

[rik_uk3]

That fold up grill is strange, even on low heat the stainless steel mesh glows red hot so maybe a bit fierce for some things but it makes a great little radiant heater on top of your camp stove (as does a tea strainer...honest, try it)

 

[Toddy]

Thank you for the heads up I picked up one of the cook sets for £3 in Motherwell yesterday. Bargain

cheers,
Toddy

 

[copper_head]

Thanks for the heads up Rik. Bagged a one man cook set for £3, a polycarbonate KFS for 50p and 4 packs of soap leaves at 25p each. Also got a inflatable camping pillow for £1. Happy days

 

[rik_uk3]

Tesco have some good offers on just now, Zippo hand warmer £11 and they are selling Leatherman and SAK's.

Hello,lurking around here a few weeks ago saw this thread and popped into the local Wilko's to see what kit they had to offer.

Found they were selling a Thermarest type mat,ticket price on the shelf £8.00.Bargain.

Price at the till £4.00! Bigger bargain.

Anyhow,last week I went into Wilko's again to see what they had left,and found one remaining mat still priced at £8.00,didn't really need it,but always good to have a spare isn't it?

Price at the till this time?

£2.00!! Mega-bargain.

So,might be worthwhile checking your nearest branch for leftover stock.

ATB,
Steve
