Wilkinson's

Mrs_Sparkle

So, having gone into Wilkinson's yesterday for the first time ever, I'm curious to know what other DFWs buy in there. I bought soap, toothpaste and Stardrops (58p!) but did notice that bin bags were a bargain for a huge roll of 30 so will be back for them at some point. Any other suggestions most welcome

Washing powder etc. is really cheap in Wilkos. Microfibre cloths (I love the label that says 'do not dryclean'!). Household stuff like knives, breadboards, storage boxes for your OS cooking and freezing frenzies. Toys, printer paper. I can't think what else I buy there at the momeht, but I agree it's a great shop.

I've been in this morning for some sealent for my drainpipe and some bicarbonate of soda for my grout! I love the place but I have to be really careful I dont end up buying non essentials because they're cheap!!! Its when you start browsing you know your in trouble :rotfl:

I love Wilkos because it shares its name with me!

On a more serious note, they have a fantastic Savings Stamps deal, which means that once you've bought 19 £1 stamps at the till (not sure yet if you can buy them all at once or whatever) they'll add £1 for free.

This means that provided you would spend £20 in Wilkos anyway, you get an instant 5.26% return on your money, giving savings accounts a run for their money... :T

Unless of course I've completely misunderstood the offer. The saving stamp collector is available by the till - have a look!

stardrops is the only cleaning solution youll ever need - long thread on OS

I buy toothpaste, sandwich bags, greaseproof paper, anything & everything!
