Don't forget the Pier has gone into administration, so there may be bargains to be had in the future

Went to the Pier today... and the cupboard was bare!!! Seriously hardly anything left!!! Did manage to get a couple of Jute bags with Indian elephants on to use next year for £1.25 each and a couple of cotton bags with a nice pictures on them for £1 each. Also got 4 red glass tea light holders for 25p each but that was about it! Also got a couple of bits for the house but nothing else for hampers!! There was furniture going pretty cheap but I couldn't quite manage to carry it on my back... ha ha!! Real shame they've gone into administration tho!!! Feeling really sad about Woollies too!!
