If you don't know what I'm referring to, it's the 1day bag of crap sale they had the other day. $11 lucky dip (+ postage) where you can end up with a random item valued at between $11 - $500.
We had ordered 2 bags of crap: One contained a Revlon mascara, the other had the mascara and a Dragon Skanicon Hoodie. Got my money's worth, so I'm pretty happy

Yeah I think from seeing what other people have received, I did pretty well!
Other things I have heard of was a bottle of shampoo.. which, at the time the person complained was definitely worth less than $11.. however it was that expensive "Crew" shampoo which is almost $50 per bottle. Also, a few more of those lotion/body butter packs, a pair of 2XL overalls, a tiny Meccano kit, and a 4 piece klip-it container set.. |

We got an extendable garden shovel. I was quite excited to give it a go and would have used it in the garden as I love gardening. BUT when you put any pressure on the shovel the handle extension collapses lol! So the name aptly fits - it is a peice of crap! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I've done really well last two times with the crap bags - first time was a pair of really nice skate shoes worth over $100 which incredibly fit DH perfectly, second time a skateboard (see a theme here?!) which I sold on TM for $150. This time not so well but not too bad, I got a minature fire engine set thing with little metal mini fire engine trucks and a plastic mat thing to drive them on - going to put it away for when Miss 2 turns 3. ------------- Two little girls under 2!

We don't do the crap bags any more, cause they've all been bags of crap. ;)
I agree catchoftheday is great; hope they keep the quality up. If anyone needs further enabling, http://www.dealshrimp.co.nz/ - http://www.dealshrimp.co.nz/ has most of the daily sale sites deals in one place. -------------
