    There was hardly anything left in mine when they opened after christmas. A shame because I remember getting loads in past years

    Thanks OP, picked up a few things in my local store today, it had looked like all the gifts were gone but as i walked round the store doing my shopping I noticed they'd been moved to a stand near the pharmacy, and weren't with the xmas decs where they were before xmas, this might be the same for other stores?

    Also got Xmas Cards @ 62p/74p instead of £2.49 a pack, a Musical Animal £1.24 instead of £4.99, Taste the Difference crisps 57p, Sainsbury Luxury Xmas Pud £1.49 (debated over this one & the TTD one!! This one looked yummier!!) & the best deal, Sainsburys Cointreau & Brandy Butters at 10p each!! Over a week left on the "use by" date, too!!

    There were lots of other things: Christmas Cakes/Puds, Elizabeth Shaw Orange Crisps, Baileys Truffles, bags of nuts/crisps, Ceramic Money Boxes with Chocs (£2), Et Toi toiletries sets, Gardeners Handcream/Handwash sets, other Top Gear toys (Remote Control Cars, Talking Stigs) & assorted Xmas items, like animated toys, candle arches, wreaths, decorations & lights (Father Xmas/Penguins/Baubles) - all at 75% off!!

    No Cheese & Cracker hampers to be seen (as mentioned in a previous post). Also, I'd missed out on Galaxy Mistletoe Kisses bars, reduced to 14p (three empty boxes on the shelves!) I wanted a Turkey Crown, too, but only on to be found at £23 & not reduced!

    Get down there quick!!
    Everything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:

    Just bought the £7.50 remote control car for my son, he loves it. Been playing with it all afternoon.

    Not much left in Chesterfield, just a few Top Gear Toys, Selection Boxes, Lindt Santa and a few decorations and Xmas Cards.

    In the Baking aisle, a few Xmas themed Baking items were reduced to 75% off, mincemeat, bun cases with Xmas print designs, glace cherries

    Zippy x
    :p Busy working Mum of 3 :wave:

    Just been and got loads of alcohol gifts,
    4 mini bottles of port - 1.75
    small bottle of red wine, glass and chocolate - 1.00

    Loads of others I cant remember.
    They were still marked at 1/2 price but scanned at 75% off. Cheaper than buying big bottles.
