Options
Just been to our local Wilko's for a Christmas pudding (we're having our Christmas late) and found Matthew Walker Christmas puddings (best before April 2012) for 50 pence.
A box of Roses (220g) (BBF 09/2011) for 73 pence

HTH some one save a few quid in the run up to Christmas 2011:rotfl:

    I have been to wilkinson too and it was chaos in there. Most of their christmas stuff is 75% off e.g. gift bags all sizes 25p, 12 crackers just over a pound, Champagne flutes x2 for £1, Tinsel 25p, confectionery dirt cheap! So much more stuff I'm sure I bought more than I needed!!

    Never mind!:rotfl:

    They were just marking the stuff down to 75% when I got there. Crackers and cards looked decent enough but I had already bought all my stuff for next year so didn't bother. Lots of sweets but also lots of tat left!

    I went in today and got some crackers and paper table cloths for the oap's christmas dinner so happy with that the more money saved on buying stuff like that the better the meal and day out will be for them

    I went in today, they were only advertising the 75% off on the shelves not in the window, therefore nice and quiet.
    I got
    so gift sets for £1.24
    Top gear remote controlled car £3.99
    Dog treat stocking 37p
    Candle and candle ring £1.11
    Small make up sets 49p
    Quality street big caramel cups 9p

    My receipt had over £50 worth of savings, unbelieveable:j
  • My local store was choc full of old ladies stocking up on Christmas tat, tree toppers, baubles etc.. When the Sales Assistant told her the tree's were £5, bless her, she got so excited she put 3 in her trolley then realised she couldn't carry them lol

    Mostly giftwrap and bows in Swansea. Some Christmas craft items (eg felt stocking kit) down to 24p instead of 98p. Xmas paint by numbers and colouring books also 24p.

    I was looking for paper plates & tablecloths, but none to be had.
