What Is A Good Budget?

[AHLAD]

What do you think is a good budget for a descent bonfire night?

I'm not talking amazing or anything just the right amount that you think would make you happy.

For me I would say about £300 that would make me smile.

So go ahead and give your opinion. There is no right or wrong answer everyone is different

 

[Rich]

probably about 1k lol

 

[AHLAD]

Lol I will be like that next year

 

[zephieish]

A few of us started with about £10 each a fair few years ago now, each year it grew and grew and now we're working with about £500 this year.

Next year.. who knows?!

It's what you make of it that counts, though

 

[AHLAD]

Last year I had about £70 this year it will most likely total about £150 and I started late. So hopefully next year I brake over £200 but aiming much higher as I want to make a trip to Epic next year

 

[pyro-rob]

For me I think around £200 with some savey buying.

 

[Somersetpyro]

i'd go with £150-200 for some decent stuff, we're on £150 this year and we have loads of good stuff

 

[Kamran saeed dabaei]

I only get around £60 but I would be happy with £100

Back in 2007 lol i started with a pack of rockets at 19.99 forotten name and where from since then is grew to an average of 500 to 700 depending on year.

 

[AHLAD]

Last year I had about £70 this year that was my first year, this year I have passed £200 didn't think I would have that because I started late. So the aim next year was to pass £200 but now I am going to save hard from January and try to hit £500 big ask but I want to make a trip to Epic

 

[AHLAD]

EDIT!!!! Last year I had about £70 that was my first year, this year I have passed £200 didn't think I would have that because I started late. So the aim next year was to pass £200 but now I am going to save hard from January and try to hit £500 big ask but I want to make a trip to Epic

Current running total is : £450.00. Just agreed to add another near 120 making it £570. Oh buggeroonies I've just worked out what the total will be with the other stuff coming as well. All will be revealed when i finish.

years ago probably at least 10 my budget was probably 40 quid tops. Used to buy all lidl stuff back then....

 

[Somersetpyro]

its amazing how our budgets have changed over time, we used to run, like you Rich, on about £40, £30 on a box and some rockets, and usually my grandparents picked up the same for a tenner

Same here. Used to be like that. Been last 2-3 year that it has changed. I spent £150 so far but will mostly go to about £200 once I'm done.

 

[Somersetpyro]

have to say though, £40 could get you a lot more 6/7 years ago than it can now

 

[pyro-rob]

Issue for us now more than anything is tax and H&S. EU not helping either with pricing.

 

[Somersetpyro]

yes it is, they tax everything that could pose a slight danger these days to try to put people off getting them

 

[pyro-rob]

Not putting me though. Fireworks to me are like cars in the sense. I'm not going to live without them till I physically can not afford them. Both the government doesn't seem to want us to have.

no, the government and the police are very anti-pyro, but as you say, doesn't but you off

 

[GAZZAAAAAAAAA]

Around the 50 quid mark is mines and we all enjoy it so that's the main thing,Id love to spend hundreds but as much as I love fireworks Id rather spend hundreds covering Christmas lol and getting the kids presents in.
