Matalan bargains

i went to my local matalan store this week, got a load of clothes and gifts already at least 75% off. I bought some gift packs of kids socks, should have been £2 but they were 50% off so i thought id get some for my kids. got to the till and 4 sets were 75% off and 1 went through at full price, they reduced it for me. pictureka game for my son went through at full price, but was on the half price stand so they reduced that, and some choc tubs went through full price, but got them discounted when i argued they were on the half price section. went back the next day to buy some more and had to argue again, but they honoured the half price, then moved the display so they didnt get caught out again. Got about £350 quid worth of stuff for under £100. May go back when i get paid and see what else there is

My nearest Matalan is closed at the moment due to a fire in one of the retail units a few doors away, happened before Christmas and still closed (along with about 6 other units).
Shame as i want a couple of throws from there but they normally go half price instore whereas they dont online.
Not sure when it's reopening.
So no bargains for me this time

I asked about an item on the wrong stand and the SA said that items with highlighted bit and code W09 and S10 had 75% off and if W10 was 50%. Code is on back of label!
On a side, I bought girls baby slippers (marked as £3 and not reduced) but went through at 75p. Stocked up in all the sizes so LO has slippers now upto yr!!0 -
I got some bargains today !, an £18 cardigan for £4.00, some long fingerless gloves ( the ones that go right up your arm) for £1, loads of winter hats from £1, underwear from 75p, and a pair of shorts for £1.50....my local shop was very quiet so I spent a while searching through the racks !!0

thanks for this OP
went last night & bought a couple of tops, both labled W10, but sales assistant made a mistake & said W10's were marked down to £2 (there were loads of signs up saying S10's £2 & W10's half price bless)
So what should have cost me £17, cost me £4 - bargain!
