    Why not just go to Woolies, drift around it with a shopping basket collecting anything you want to buy, take it to the till and be pleased to be paying less for it than usual? They will take it back within 28 days if you go online later and find it cheaper elsewhere - you just have to say you have changed your mind. (and I wish people would remember this is an extra privilege some retailers give, not a consumer right - it causes a lot of unreasonable expectations in small independent shops)

    No need to get edgy with Woolies staff, is there?...... remember they are all about to lose their jobs....

    Wsn't much in Warrington, but I got 2 picture frames for £1.60! Bargains.
  • to be honest i thought it was one big con there was hardly anything for 50% off all mainly 10 and 20%. i went and had a look at the baby clothes as my baby is due in a couple of weeks and they had a pack of 7 vests for £8 with 10% off and i go down the road to primark and they are £3.50 and baby bibs £2 for two again primark are 3 for £1 with no sale so i certainly didn't save any money so you could say i was a little disappointed.

    I do not think your can compare the clothing from Primark with the stuff in Woolies. In my experience the quality from Primark is not that high and stuff does not wash too well. When you are talking about baby stuff, it spends more time in the wash than out so I think it is worth paying a bit more. The Ladybird range is very nice quality.

    Congratulations on your forthcoming happy event and hope everything goes well for you.

    (trying to quote above text

    personally i never have am problem with primark clothes, always find they wash and wear really well, and also very good price as well.
    whereas ladybird clothing do exactly the same except they are twice the price or if not more.
    relynutz says it all :o
