ours didnt have much left really only school socks , boys schoolwear and electric fans and older dvd's cd's not closing till tuesday

...i got socks , tights and beach sandles for 2-00 they were on 2 for 1 and half price ..male sales assistant was only scanning half of the items people were buying ...he was close to tears with everyone wishing him well ..

i was talking to manageress and she said she was changing the sa at the checkout every half hour so it didnt get too much for them

also that our store was getting taken over by poundland ...but werent taking on the staff ..they were welcome to apply for advertised jobs ...thought that was rotton of them

have already got a big poundstore straight accross the road from it thats been there for a few years

Spent my last ever tenner in Woolies today, ours is closed after today. All clothing and shoes were down to 50p an item, so got plenty of stuff for my kids and some pressies for nieces and nephews. Wasn't a huge amount left but was worth my while, especially as my son needed new trainers and I managed to get some for 50p. We que'd for about 15 mins, and all staff and customers behaved perfectly Wasn't an unpleasent experience except for the sense of sadness that it will be no more.

Our local doesn't close til 2nd of Jan so still at 50% off. LOADS & LOADS of kids jeans all age 5-6 in black and blue at £1 also leggings age 2-3 at £1 but not much else.
There was a poster in the window saying a big thank you to the customers :sad:

does anyone have any idea if they have any chart cds left in the stores?

I got Gossip Girl series 1 for 4 quid but it didnt have the outer box for it.
3 books all new chart ones and 50p each
Al Murray series 1 4 quid
and some paper for 10p.

I forgot Jack Johnsons new album for a pound

Got some good bargain Blu-Rays', PS3 games and chart CD's today. Have to say I felt somewhat horribly mercenary taking advantage of their downfall. I kinda comforted myself that I've been a good customer in the past .... that and the £90 saved!

You shouldn't feel bad buying in Woolies as if you are spending, surely it will help to ensure the staff are paid won't it?
