Shopping - 95% Discount At Jjb Sports

Haven't made a post before, so hope this is the right place!

One of my colleagues has just come back into the office and told us that JJB Sports are doing a discount of 95%!!!

We are in Ipswich, Suffolk, dont know about other places, or how long the promotion will last.

Hope this helps somebody.
Growing old disgracefully!

    Up To 95% sale online
  • It is a load of BS.

    All pretty much normal prices. Don't bother.

    Looks like a typical attention grabber with little substance behind it.

    You can't even see which items have been reduced from what price - but the display prices don't suggest anything like 50% off let alone 95%.

    Waste of time.

    I agree, JJB marketing to try and get people instore!

    The title on this thread should say UP TO 95% though as its misleading, the values are shown when you click on an item, the reductions on most things are minimal, look at these £64.99 down to £60.00 thats not even 10% off! :confused:

    I would not be surprised to actually see 95% off next year. Our local branch is massive and stocked from floor to ceiling with more items than you could fathom and a ton of rubbish items imho.

    Another possible folder next year along with Focus DIY?
  • I went into the one in Birmingham the other day it was pretty rubbish I have to say could see no major change in prices, must admit my attention was also grabbed by the 95% off, when i went in I was left thinking what a let down!!!

    There is 95% off some stock from this year. I think the sign in our store said something about 2008 stock so it will limit it but the savings are to be had. It's like any other store that has a big sign saying 75% off (or any other %) & you have to hunt out the small print to find its only on 2 things or there is a small up to in front of it.
    Thanks OP
