    I'd suggest a lot of the published price cuts are bait to get you in the store, you won't actually find stock available when you get there......

    There will be one or two items at 90% off, but it's usually the crud no-one wants anyway...some will be 70/80% off, but the the majority of items will be around 50% off.

    after previous increase of 50% :rotfl:

    I will be very careful what i buy this year as shops are doing many underhanded things to get custom and make profit, its not about surviving in this climate, only profit..

    I bet that the only 90% off products are lame items like chocolate coins and other things that are about £1, I'm sure that they would be desperate to knock those out at 10p each, but the higher priced items will see a lower reduction.
