I saw these at Beckton this afternoon, and just thought they was "half marked price", as per the label.

Other than xmas wrap and tag stuff, there wasn't much of a variety of sale items - although they did have a large range of DVDs for £7.99, these were mainly old movies.

WH Smith in Peterborough had about 25 cross cut shredders in this morning, reduced from £30 to £15. I couldn't pay for one at the time because I was using one of those new fangled electronic gift tokens, and their system was down ( so much for technology ). They saved one for me, and when I went back to collect it, they only had 3 left on show. They are supposedly security level 4, and even allowing for a bit of exaggeration on Smiths part, they should be at least level 3, which is not bad for £15. According to the assistant, she THINKS ! they have more to put out.

In Brighton W.H.Smith's last week, the girly Mobile Phone Recharger (in a pink box) although marked at £2.99 down from £4.99, actually scanned at 99p!
Apologies if this is already well known.

Nipped into WHS as only over the road from the bank and they had huge CLEARANCE signs up in the window. Was a bit disappointed with downstairs but stocked up on enough 49p-a-box Xmas cards to last me till I'm 40. The best bargain was upstairs in the book department.

Hidden away at the back, right in the corner, past inflated-price books on half price, in the map section (don't even know why I looked there really), they had some gorgeous road atlases. Leatherette bound AA ones - only thing is they were 2005 editions but hey, roads don't change all THAT much in one year. The price? £0.49. It doesn't tell you the original price on them (this - http://www.whsmith.co.uk/WHS/Go.asp?isbn=0749538171&DB=220&Menu=Books - suggests £14.99 but that's the 2003 one and this is 2005 - it is hardback) but given that the list price on a flimsy tacky looking paperback one is £6.99 [does anyone ever pay that???] I'd say I've grabbed a reet barg. In fact I've done more than that - I've bagged 6 reet bargs - every one off the shelf! They'll make fab Xmas/Birthday/Valentines gifts cos they look so classy and professional. Far rather have that in the door pocket than the Colins oversized technicolor(R) pile of gare you normally get.
