Are having a grand opening in my area tomorrow. Anything there really worth looking at from a prep point of view ? I have the following covered.

Lighting
Cooking
Water Filtration
Home Defence
Sanitation

Am I missing something obvious here that I need to grab in their opening day specials ?

Get a discount card the fiver is well worth it.

to add to your list

Thermals
hand warmers
socks

and that's just for starters

Oh and make sure your credit card is of a strong disposition

Some pop up tents can be useful, if the heating goes off just put them up in the house and sleep in them, sounds daft I know, but the reduced area that requires heat will keep you warm at night.

I really should have a trip around the Gloucester store sometime, is it the one opposite the Anglo-Asian cultural centre in Barton Street?

Yes, what used to be the old B&Q. Free parking as well.

I haven't been on that side of town for a while, so will have to try a weekend trip, I actually managed to drive past Attwoolls today, something that rarely happens, the van tends to drift across the carriageway and into their carpark

Got a nice Rab down jacket there a few weeks ago, about £100 off, but couldnt look at the tents there because the snow had shut the outdoor bit,

When the kids were little we used to go there as an afternoon trip and go in all the tents!

Look out for the bargain bins if you go there again Sue ,

Back to "Go outdoors" multi-buys etc can be useful, especially gas cannisters.

Thanks for the ideas.

Apart from pop up tents I seem to be covered. White Wolf the Drastic Plastic is a no no anyway, I'm trying to pay the bugger off as fast as I can. (or was, thanks ex employer, here's hoping my insurance is honoured)

In my current situation I don't really see them having anything we need to bust a gut about then.

Or support your local independent shop staffed by people who know and care about what they sell!

I went to Go Outdoors today to spend over £200 on kit and they were most unhelpful and my Go Outdoors card had expired and they said I needed to buy a new one- so I said bye. I they went to my local shop who gave me 20% discount as I was Dofe and very helpful!

Never again!
