Woolies - closing down sale tomorrow (11/12/08)

Beanbag

Went into our local one in Lowestoft today and only about a third of the shop was accessible, not really much left, but dissappointed with the dvd/cd/games, all up to full price with 50% off, for example Bedknobs and Broomsticks (Disney Film), back up to £19.99 with 50%, so down to £9.99, you can buy it from Play.com for £4.99!!! Loads Disney DVD's left, but all at full price!

Went into Woolies in wallington which is closing today, everything was 70% off. although you everything had full price stickers on you have to work the discount out yourself but EVERYTHING was reduced. Anyways bought 7 bars of choccie (for OH not me) and Take Take the Circus on CD and all came to a bargain price of £4.23

i might be wrong but i thought it was 1 weak for every year worked if you are under 41

or 1 and 1/2 week if over 41


maximum 12 weeks

and its £330 per week when company is in administration

so how she is going to get 12k

AFAIK, Woolies close down has been enough to make money but not enough to continue it's business. In this case, the staff would normally be paid contracted and not statutory redundancy.

I went to the Amersham branch yesterday, it is due to close today but I am working, there really wasnt anything in there that you would want, about 3/4 of the shop was roped off and the other quarter was full of CD's, DVD's, Clothes and stuff like Fly killer refills for 10P but you needed the orginal unit to put the refills in and they didnt have any and I had never heard of the make, they also had some hair removing cream ??, a box of pick and mix chewy mints for a £5 and a load of light bulbs. Felt really sorry for the staff, it actually felt like you were walking round someones house after they had died and sizing it up for a house clearance.

we went in to christchurch store this morning, got 24 bottles of coke for £5 12 bottles of iron bru for £1.80 and the biggest heaviest bag of pick and mix for £1. we also got some cds for £1 each, sterophonics, mark ronson, and an indie double complication album that mr divadee wanted

The bargain for us was, i was looking at the cards and said to mr divadee i would take them all off them for a fiver, when i heard behind me 'ok then you are on' i jumped out of my skin as the manager was behind me and had started clearing the card displays into a basket for me to have for a fiver :eek: :j

me and my mum are just sorting them out now and i have in total 236 cards!! approx 50ish will be recycled into new cards (as my mum does card making) or chucked so a total 186 approx cards will be used for a fiver.

On the way out i did put £5 in the collection box for the staff, i just felt so bad!!

my local are still sellling cds with 50% off so i will wait a bit longer but they brought some towels out today and i got 5 egyption cotton bath sheets and 2 pedestal and floor mats combo for a total price of £11 - that was amazing considering the price of 1 towel was £20. the staff have been great in there aswell so patient considering how rude some shoppers are
