When are Valentine items reduced?

Options
Does anyone know when Tesco reduce their valentine items, chocolates & gifts? There are a few things I have my eye on but I am reluctant to buy now only to have them reduce them the day after valentines day.


Tesco is not my regular store, so if any Tesco regulars know about their reductions I could certainly use your help. TIA

I know its's risky taking the chance that they still have the items, but MSE makes it hard for me to pay full price any more. :)

    Thanks for the Sainsbury tip Snugglebunny8. I remember getting the valentines chocolate oranges for 50p last year in Sainsbury but that was only after I had seen the post on here.:o

    I am not mobile so it is a case of convincing my OH that it really is worthwhile driving to the Supermarket/s to see if the reductions are on.

  • I was just in my local co-op and they have already knocked 50% of their giant stack of heart shaped lollies...So I have a good feeling a lot more will follow tomorrow.

    I would imagine everything will be reduced from tomorrow.

    Stuff that is actually Valentines stuff and labelled as such should be reduced just after midnight, depends on when the down load happens. It is between 50% and 75% depending on what it is.

    Got loads of price changes to do tonight. :(

  • I happened to be in Tesco in Reading last night around 10.30.
    They were taking down all the valentines stuff and putting it into crates off the shelves. Looks like its going somewhere and not goign to be reduced. The stuff they were putting away was all the heart cushions/throws, teddies, and wine bottles.

    I just read on facebook today that apparantly one of the stores here has tins of Roses and Quality Street (from down the 'Valentines' aisle) for £2.50. Would be good to keep because the dates on them was Oct & Nov 2011. Not sure if this all stores and whether any other chocs included though - might be worth a try.
