Birthdays in Chester - Closing Down: many items 10p

I went to Chester on Wednesday and Birthdays was closing down. They had boxes being delivered, opened them up and charged 10p for each item.
I came away with two bags full of stuff and spent £1.60.

My father in law is 60 next month, so I got serviettes, a magnet with 60 on, and even a pint glass with 60 on which was previously £4.99 !!! Best bargains yet.

I don't know if this was the only store closing, but it might be worth checking it out if there's a Birthdays nearby.

    I dont know if its still on. I would assume so as they had closing down posters in the window, and they were clearly just trying to clear as much stock as possible.

    Definitely worth checking out

    Hello, I thought I would post to say if anyone is going there please would you consider picking up some extra bits and posting them to a seriously ill child by going to www.postpals.co.uk Summer is always a horrible time to be stuck in hospital and so kids are in need of even more smiles during chemo, surgery etc

    It was fill a bag for £2 today at Chester - we got about 60 cards!

    It was an effort to look through all boxes etc but well worth it. Not open till Monday now though.
