Daylight robbery

While down town today I intended to pick up a pack of bamboo canes for my beans to grow up. I went into a certain shop that is usually good value, and found the canes. Packs of 2 6ft canes, £2. I couldn't believe it. Wife said, 'No, the pack is obviously split, look for another one', but no, each pack contained just 2 canes, and it clearly said on the label pack of 2, £2.

They are still in the shop. I'll just have to order a big pack online.

 

B&Q do 10 for £5 - and they're 2.5m.

 

Grow yourself an Arundo donax, you get some very reasonable canes from it each year.
Not as durable as bamboo but good for one year at least.

 

Might be woth looking in Wilkos if you get over that way. - I bought some 8ft's at £1.98 for five, so I guess the 6ft's will be a little cheaper.

 

Just been in there and they had 2.4m and 1.5m. You could live with the extra length (or chop it off) and still get 3 for free by comparison to Clueless's "bargain"

 

Funny no one has made a everlasting version of the good ol bamboo cane.

 

I got my 8 ft poles from Wilkos as well They stock all the other lengths as well .
B n Q sell 8 footers at £4.98 for 10 . And with your over 60 card Clueless thats £4.50 with 10% off on Wednesday

Note: The BnQ has 3.5 review stars for the bamboo poles Who reviews a bamboo pole ? Its bamboo its a pole , what else can the sodding thing do

 

Not bean canes, but I bought a load of 900mm/3 foot canes with 20 in a pack from Home Bargains last week for 89p a pack, and the quality was far superior to the ones (wispy twigs) in Poundland.

 

I think I'm just going to order some off t'interweb.

Wilkos is ok, but I tend to come out with things I don't really need so it gets expensive.

B&Q is no good, as I'm still in a huff with them

 

feed a panda!!!!!!!!

how many canes do you need?

 

Morrisons usually do them at a good price.

 

Not sure really. A lot of companies are selling batches of 50 for about a tenner. That will probably do me.

 

I keep forgetting about Morrisons. Good call. They also sell off their black buckets for 99p per pack of 8. Drill a few drain holes in them and they are great temporary homes for shrubs and young trees.

 

Regarding Wilko's - control yourself Clueless. Go in, get what you NEED and leave.
B&Q. Your only hurting yourself. They won't miss your donation. If it's what you want at a proce that's acceptable, bite the bullet and take the deal.
Think of all the beans you're going to miss out on.
