    I went into matalan today to get some burp clothes they only had the pink ones so i just got one pack £2 for 3 went to the till got my receipt and they were going through at 50p for the pack so went back and got another 2 packs as that was all that was on the shelves and they both went through at 50p. Just wish they had the boy ones in too. Not sure if this is at all branches but the one i went to was Accrington.

    Thanks! Irlrip and wendall,

    Have used the wrong side on some but, some have the wrong colour showing around the edge so not always a good match (maybe I am too fussy!!!)

    I,m sure I have seen some plain ones recently but can't remember where!

    They are only for my Minis but don't want to use Muslins as they cost more and you can't get cream ones (I use cream quite a lot) without paying a fortune for them.

    I vaguely seem to remember packs of burp cloths in wilkinson...but I think they were plain white and plain lemon ones.
  • I'm not sureif they sill do them but morrisons used to have a pack with whie & yellow ones in.

    I got some gorgeous pink & blue soft toys on sale in Ethel Austin this morning! They are reduced from £5 to £2.50 and are a good size & very soft & cuddly! There are pink & blue teddies and dogs...

    Well, I got some more Burp Cloths from Matalan - £3.50! :eek:
    They were £2 not so long ago.

    Same with their Blankets. They were £3 and now £4.50! A whopping 50% rise. :eek::eek::eek:

    Then went to Home Bargains and found some for £1.29 but I think they are a bit short. Still a problem getting colours I want and as the prices have gone up so much, I might end up using muslins after all.

    Sorry for the rant!:rotfl:

    Matalans price rises are shocking! I've started buying most of my blankets from Asda now

    Have just recieved an online order from Matalan, mainly Blankets (20% off) and every one of them is dirty. 1 or 2 look like they have been dragged round the floor and the others are dirty where they are folded.

    I have also had this problem when buying instore so I thought they would be perfect straight from the warehouse.

    Don't know whether to have a go washing them. Did this a while ago (So I didn't have to pay to take back) and the binding around the edge went white. It was a cream blanket and was really noticable.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Call their customer services. You shouldn't have to pay to send them back if they were not satisfactory. It might be worth a phone call.
