Somerfield closing down sale

I_luv_cats

My Local Somerfield has green shelf labels with certain products up to 50% off.

I have picked up "Paul Potts" (One Chance) cd for 99p, also Magic 2007, Best Dad, Clubland and a couple of others 50p to 99p each.

Friend picked up some tinned ham.

Just had a Google and apparently Co-Op bought Somerfield last year! They are turning 650 stores into Co-Ops, hence the "closing down".

Actually, I quite like Co-op so I'm not too unhappy about it

Somerfield was purchased by Co-Op earlier this year and some will be converted in time to Co-Op and some are sold on to others. There are lists on the net

My local Somerfield is closing in May and and I heard opening as a Morrison 3 months later. (there is a take-over sign but not re it's closing for a refit)
