Any Possibility of a Woolworths 3 for 2 pre Xmas?

Just wondered if anyone had any knowledge of whether Woolworths are planning a pre-xmas 3 for 2 this year. I picked up their red catalogue yesterday and there was no mention of it.

I must say that in recent years I have rather relied on Woolies 3 for 2 as well as the more limited choice avilable at Boots so would be a bit gutted if they have stopped this.

Any info gratefully received - have my list ready and waiting!

    Hi, I asked an employee in Woolworths last Friday and he said that they will be having an offer on 3 for 2 on anything Chad Valley. He wasn't sure of the exact dates but did say this was due to start in 2 -3 weeks from when I asked. Hope that helps.

    I used to work for woolies and as a general rule they have a 3 for 2 on items with a 'purple parcel sticker' a lot of their new goods, candles gifts etc seem to have the sticker but no signs as yet...hopefully that means that it's on it's way...

  • So glad you've asked this question busymumof3! I'm holding fire with my list too.

    I have noticed on a couple of things, the purple sticker with the parcel on so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    I asked a friend of mine who has been working in woolworths for years she said its usually end of october-beginning of november
    so not long to wait lol
  • Hi, My mother was cought with this last week.

    Seeing the stickers she assumed the offer was already on and ended up paying full price for all items (she would not put them back - prob fear of what the neighbours would say!).

    Asked the manager of another Woollies a day later and he informed me that after the Halloween stuff has gone, the 3 for 2 offers will start, so 1st November it is then!

    Hope that is of help.
