Post by: Tenhens on July 21, 2015, 20:15: Thanks for the thread , I do like to have a wonder round their 'garden' section. On a less positive note , tried their bathroom paint - pure brilliant white, took more coats than I was expecting . Will be using a 'better' brand in future. Disappointed.

Post by: ghost61 on July 23, 2015, 14:12: I know what you mean, tenHens. We had he same experience. Although it was cheaper than traditional brands, we used far more paint. I'll avoid in the future, false economy.

Still no garden sale here, though.

Post by: ghost61 on August 06, 2015, 13:31: Stop it, please! Ours just doesn't do these offers. Everything is full price! Boo hoo! >:(

Post by: mumofstig on August 06, 2015, 13:44: I'm sure they all do them, ask in store when they're going to do their reductions.

Post by: ghost61 on August 06, 2015, 14:19: Most of the gardening stuff has been cleared away - I assume because their Christmas decorations will take their place. There's nothing online either..... Must move!
Title: Re: Wilko Gardening sale on
Post by: mumofstig on August 06, 2015, 14:44: I've never seen the sales online - you have to be there at the right time, the week before they clear the shelves.

Note the date and look a week or 2 earlier next year ;)

Post by: shazlette on August 10, 2015, 20:24: I wish!! Never seem to get anything like this my way either. On the other hand I did pick up a pack of 2 trout at morrisons at a wrongly reduced price of 5P!!!

Yummy.
Title: Re: Wilko Gardening sale on
Post by: ghost61 on August 11, 2015, 07:52: Wow! Better a couple of trout than a seed tray, I say! Morrisons do have some good bargains on their fish sometimes, I stock up the freezer on occasion. But 5p! Amazing! And they honoured it!
Title: Re: Wilko Gardening sale on
Post by: shazlette on August 11, 2015, 22:00: Think I will visit our local Wilkinsons and see if I can find too many packets at 10p!!!! :D :D

A few years ago I was working in Rhyll over the Easter Holidays. It wasn't the best of times for the weather. Clearly the Morrisons there had expected far more tourists than actually appeared. We were finishing work early - about 5.15 and rushing over to the supermarket. We were buying for example a pack of 2 organic duck legs for 9p!!! Food for 2 for 7 days was only about £11 and we ate like kings!!! How i wish this happened down here.
