    Fluffy fairy lights 99p should 14.99

    I was after some of these but they were still marked as £7.49 in my local store yesterday (and were definitely scanning as this on Sunday). :(
    If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor...

    I bought some xmas cards today in W H Smiths. They went through the till at half price, but when they pressed the sub-total button they all reduced to 69p.

    I went into Smiths at lunchtime and the signs all still said half price on cards and wrap. No chance to check at till as queue was sooo long.......

    According to the staff the queue was soooo long because the prices were actually 69p for the cards and wrap. Today there was not much left, but I got some nice boxes of cards and plain wrap (to use for birthday presents) for 69p and a small tree for 99p.

    i got loads of nice boxed cards today for 69p per pack but my favourite buy was 2 boxes of the really posh crackers down from £20 odd (supposedly) to £2.99 per pack.
