The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread

Options
With the opening of all our new shops (and other places!) here in MK, I thought it may be wise to start a thread on the 'local' board for those local to MK to post our findings here.
(I keep seeing various threads scattered about the place!)

There seems to be quite a few of us about, so I'm sure that we could pool our knowledge here :j

    Yep - it opened on the 7th November... there was a thread lurking on one of the other areas!

    It was ballistic for the first week, although I drove past on Thursday night as I went to Tescos... and there were spaces in the car park, so it's (hopefully) starting to calm down now..

    Asda opened at the weekend just gone, and Ikea's opening has been moved (I see) to the 27th December.

    Did you know that Poundland opened in Bletchley a couple of weeks ago?
    Also Instore opened in Bletchley High street last week.

    A colleague has just told me that Laura Ashley has a sale, she just came back from there and said it is on lighting and most furniture.
