Too much time on my hands, don't make me laugh - it wasn't me busting a gut to get into Woolworths at 9am yesterday morning. I wish I had the time to drop everything to do things like that.

I just found it slightly amusing that your trip, motivated by greed, was a complete waste of time. Not just yours, but all the other people motivated by greed as well. Where were people like you before Woolworths got into financial trouble?

And my original post was very much tongue in cheek, not meant to be offensive at all, so please don't twist my comments. I thought it was very obvious that I was being sarcastic at worst and it's a shame you didn't realise that, especially given that we are entering the season of good will.

Still, I've learned my lesson now - profiting from others misfortune is obviously what matters most to some people who post in this particular section of the site, not seeing the funny side of things.

Merry Christmas!

:rolleyes:

Which bargain chain would that be?
I don't think we have a branch of Madness.
This probably explains why the discount on confectionery is only 10% - there is someone else prepared to take it all off the liquidators hands.

Don't quote me but I am assuming the poster was hinting that it was a B & M store (Bargain Madness) http://www.bmstores.co.uk/maps.htm

The toys i got for my ds christmas presents from woolies are more expensive now than when i bought them about 6 weeks again when there was half price toy sale in woolworths, and also bought some baby clothes at the beginning of the week and 2 tops came up dearer at the till than was on the actual label the lady did work out a discount using a calculator and corrected on the till so just watch the prices to make sure this dont happen when u buy things from there

Thats my 1st post over and done with and it was easier than i thought joining in lol

I went into Woolies last week and i have to admit its false advertising, most things were only discounted up to 10 - 20%, i didn't see anything reduced by 50%. Waste of time i think!

I bought a 10 litre mini fridge reduced from £59.99 to £4.00. Admittedly it's the only genuine bargain I've found yet, I think you need to be in the right place at the right time.

Not a chance in hell anymore, go to facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=2220111428

Go onto discussion board and the one titled Email.

Just states that they will all be closed xmas eve.

If you are a Woolies employee, this is the email that they said was utter rubbish but its all come true arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I have read this thread in total bemusement. I am at a loss to understand why people did not understand the sale was up to 50% off. It really is not that difficult a concept to understand.
