Hanging baskets, + crop protection, chicken wire etc down by 25%
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I wait for at least 50% off the chicken wire, but take the lot if it's 75% off.

But I've never, ever seen the pond/crop protection mesh (£3.45/pack ?) reduced in my local store.

Roll on Halloween, and all those further reductions to make way for spooky products.

Stainless steel hand trowels for 75p (£2.99 less 75%). Virtually identical to Spear & Jackson trowels at Homebase for £9.99. Had one for years and no problems (unlike Morrisons ss trowels which broke at the weld). Now I have 3.

Every year I buy loads of mini choc bars for the trick or treaters, and every year only about 6 of them come to my house, so I eat all the rest of the chocolate - well, waste not want not.

It's not just Halloween, but Friday night/Saturday night, Birthday night, School holiday nights, Bonfire night (+ 1 week either side), Christmas, New Year, etc.

And their parents deliver their 14 yr old children to these events complete with a tray of lager or 3 litre  bottle of cider (each)! This (parent) behaviour ranges from the lowest to the 'highest'.

Ok, I'm miffed, we do not have a Wilkos in Bath so I cannot experience these temptrous delights.

I may however pop in to the one in Colchester road/ave in Cardiff in a couple of weeks time just to see what I'm missing.

Is it that great?

Saying that found a lovely cheapo place once in Pontypridd, in the same area as the B&Q store, where I got a large, handled groundsheet thingummy for collecting garden prunings etc. for £1.

We don't have a Wilko anywhere near us either and thoughtless relatives keep regaling us with details of their bargains :?  I just think of how much diesel it would cost me to get there 8)

I would not advise poping in on Saturday it's next door to Sainsburys and a nightmare for parking.  I have found best time is one morning on a week day.
