I wandered into my local Halfords to pick up the two extra triangles I need. Thick end of twenty quid each? I think not.
Who has found them at a sensible price?
Oh, and the vests - not paying £7.00

Is there a 'Home Bargains' store anywhere near you?

I picked up two from the one near us for 99p each.

For cheap triangles try:

A car boot sale...normally around £1.50-£2.00
or
A local scrapyard check to see if there is a triangle left in the car(and a first aid kit) or in most Merc's and BMW's there is normally a triangle fixed to the inside of the boot lid, these triangles are all perfectly legal throughout europe.
Scrapyards are also a cheap way of getting a spare bulb collection for next to nothing, also while at the scrapyard as well as bulbs don't forget some fuses and even a relay or 2.If you don't use them they have hardly cost anything.

For vests try your local workwear shop but there is no need to pay more than £2.50 each as you will get them from somewhere for less than this.

Spare bulb kits are £7 in tesco, got mine today, lots of other bits aswell for driving abroad. Workwear shops or engineering merchants are also good outlets for Hi Vis vests.

Also got my 'traditional swimwear' for the pool in spain from matalan and i must say I look good in them!! albeit from certain angles!!
