Disappointed to find all the holiday clothes I bought in June to be reduced now I've been away and worn them. Had to buy another top the same as I've already got as it was reduced to £2 and couldn't resist!

It's not as if you were still to go on holiday and therefore could have got them cheaper. If you bought as cheaply as you could at the time then why should it annoy you that, half way through the holiday season, they have been reduced?
And why buy a second identical item? It's not a bargain if you have shelled out 'good money after bad'.

Just discovered this board. Then looked at this link....then got side tracked by the competition website and found myself signing up and entering comps. Did get fed up of keep saying 'no thanks' to all the 'offers'....and realise its highly unlikely I'd win on these type of websites.

However if I can get back to topic and add my tuppence

Husband purchases the SLIM FIT shirts. They are only about £4 each. They keep their shape in the wash and iron well. He likes them so much he has two in every colour which he wears for work.
At this price I have no objections.

Well I'll consider myself told off then. Thanks a lot. You've reminded me why I don't often 'share' my thoughts on these forums.

It's only good money after bad if you don't wear either of them. If you do (I have two identical vest tops from topshop, wish I'd bought more as they no longer do them, and two tops from the Mang0 sale at Xmas - one in each colour as couldn't decide > I wear them both) then enjoy them both.

Annoying about the holiday clothes, I bought a maxi dress for my hols from there, not worn it since and I'm sure (if there are any left) it will be in the sales, but I had a jolly good night out wearing it As an offset, I expect your holiday was cheaper when you went than booking it for July in high season - so you saved yourself there - silver lining and all that

there were loads of £1 espadrilles in the cardiff branch yesterday, but they don't fit my odd sized feet :cool:

bought some fab shorts for £4 a pop - range of colours and you can turn them up from being mid length to short shorts.

anyone tried the bra accessory pack? (the one with nipple plasters, fashion tape, clear straps etc)? Looked like good value for £4

they also had melamine picnic ware reduced to £1 (2 pack of plates/bowls). Nothing special but I bought some for camping. at that price I won't be too upset if they don't last long

I've had the bra accessory pack, only used the fashion tape myself but my friend cleared me out of the nipple plasters and she said they were great.

I'm looking for the hard suitcases that Primark used to sell. I remember I bought the large leopard print one from the oxford street primark last year for my holidays, but now I want the small one for weekends away etc. Can anyone help me find if they are still available in Primark stores? Cause my 2 local primarks don't have them anymore.. I'm not sure how much the smallish one would be too, since I paid around £35 for the big one I remember..

But on my searches today I bought a gorgeous floral dress for £10, 3 pairs of sandals for £2 each, lots of bra's reduced from £7/8 to £3, and matching underwear for £1. Also thought I'd try out some home wares too, I purchased a lovely purple double bedsheet for £5, and the quality feels great so far, just need to see how it washes!

Was in again today!! I had to buy some things at full price:(, not used to doing that! Managed to get some hair bargains like feather clips and hairbands and I also got a silver charm bracelet for 1 quid that I also have in gold. They had cushions in the sale for 2 quid and 1 quid as well. Purplestar, I hate when that happens too!! But you can never have too many clothes or too many Primark bargains:D
