I just went to my local focus store for the sale, and i''m sorry to say it was rubbish and i haven't bought anything

Hardly anything was reduced, there was just the odd sign up saying 25% off lighting, 20% off garden furniture etc etc.. nothing on the stuff i would have wanted like curtain poles, and kids stuff.
I wandered if you just got a nice surprise when you got to the checkout with your items, but i was too scared to take them lol, i like to know what i'm paying before i choose!

I'm gonna see what luck other people have and maybe go back in the next couple of days.

I'm sorry for all you losing your jobs xxx

I have just got back from my local store all the wallpaper was 25% off
but it didnt say anything about other stuff when i got to the till everything else i had bought was 20% Dont know about plants and garden stuff as i could'nt look as there wasnt enough staff for the garden part to be open

Hope this helps some people

Ps buxton store is going to be a b & Q

When reporting back, it would be helpful to actually say which store you are talking about!

Just been, I couldn't believe that the car park was nearly full - I have never seen it with more than about five cars in which could all be from the staff! This is the Ormskirk store.

I didn't get anything, the markdowns weren't on the pretty little house items that I wanted I took some little photos of some of the markdowns though, thought it might help someone on here ...

Good for you, but you're clearly not the only person that has posted on this thread, are you?

25% off everything except plants (10%) in the hailsham store. store will close in 4 weeks and everything must be gone by then including fixtures and fittings

Sorry, clearly I am in a bad mood and took that as a gripe at me - joys of womanhood

Went last night - very poor. the posters were up about big reductions but nothing much was reduced. It maybe it didn't kick in until today though?

the only stuff reduced was plants (BTW go outside near the dwarf conifers - there is a blackbirds nest with the mother still sitting on the nest guarding eggs / young - amazing to get so close).

I am after a lawnmower and garden vac so would be interested if / when these types of items start to get reduced.
