    Stockport closed today. I am really sad about Borders closing, as it was the only nice shop in Stockport!

    Manchester - Fort had 90% off today.
    Staff i spoke to were so helpful and the queues moved quickly although it was very busy.
    I managed to get 13 books, a card and some staples for £8.80 TOTAL!
    Amazing value! :)
  • what about preston deepdale - did that shut today?

    Amen to that!!

    I loved going in there, although the books were, in my opinion over priced and much cheaper online, it was a lovely shop, which I really enjoyed having a mooch around, then having a coffee in starbucks, then heading down and buying cute stationary from paperchase, and some craft magazines.
    The borders staff were always really friendly.

    I think the Peel Centre will really lose out.
    Freebies so far: Sackboy Toy ^_^, MARS football, Various Jack Danniels freebies, Baileys Icecream kit
  • I was in the one in Brighton today, and there were only basically specialist magazines left. I got a mens health mag for OH for a quid. but a bit disappointed otherwise.
    It only takes a second to say 'Thanks, you just saved me a few quid!'

    All stores shut today, it was the last day which is why the discounts were so high.
  • the Edinburgh store had two days to go in the window today. Mind you there was seriously little left. Plus a lot of the actual stands were selling too. Managed to get a couple of mags, winnie pooh stickers and poster for £3.40
