    Went into Stafford Asda at 8am this morning.... pretty crap really, probably a 2m run of gifts all marked down but most of it was never worth £5 in the first place anyway.... could have got a few nice little "extras" at £1 each but they are the sort of presents that clutter the house up so didn't bother....

    Funnily though, loads of people in there buying anything and everything like it was going out of fashion.... one woman with her arms full (why not get a trolley?) asked another woman to pile a box of something on top

    "ooohh whats in there" the second woman says

    "I don't know but its £1" says the other woman..... "its a christmas presesnt isn't it"

    Some people would buy a tin of dog poo if it was reduced :)

    lol @ chrisbf1 and evesham1988la

    Have you two had a secret MSE social event at Asda? :D
  • I asked if they had a specific gift (tape measure gadget) and the lad was lovely went to where they should be and none left, he said hold on a minute, came back with one he had put 2 away for himself earlier ! What a little gem !


    .....but of course you wouldn't really have taken it from him would you ??
  • Just back from my little expedition! I spent 20 pounds and am really pleased with what I got! I only bought things that I knew people who I knew would like as a little something extra. Had a small trolley full. I really wanted one of those pj cases but they had all gone :-(

    It was Asda eastlands I went to and they didnt have much left really. They were still going round with the gun though so maybe more will be added?

    Thanks claire for the original post!

  • just been tp local asda - lady said gifts are drawn from three different departments: "home and leisure" (reduced today) "health and beauty" and "wines and spirits" - the latter two categories will be reduced at some point but the staff do not know when!

    the newton abbot store has all the 2 for £8 reduced, the 2 for £16 will be reduced later but they wouldnt say when.

    most of the 2 for £8 was the stuff you find in the pound shop anyway
