    Placed a very small order at 5am - most things were out of stock already - and I've had an email to say it's been shipped! I got 3 shampoos, 3 disney make up sets and 3 pedicure sets! Quidco has tracked as though I spent £24 although I've only spent £11! Wanted some perfume so bit disappointed as all the stuff is presents for other people!

    went back to my 'short staffed' store this pm and managed to get 3 simple (night cream and face wash) for £1.63, nothing else available (its a small store anyway)
    thanks to the person who posted about this, had no stickers so i would not have known they were on offer!
    I love this site and all chums, but its making a dent in my bank account!!!

    Have lots of things I want, but dont necessarily need... Must DO BETTER!!! :A

    I think the staff should be entitled to buy most of the stock, you need to have some perks working in a shop, let face it they probably arent paid much more than minimum wage.

    Me too. I've worked retail in the past and it's not the most pleasant job at times, a lot of bigger companies, both in and out of retail, pay higher or give bonuses or other perks. I wouldn't begrudge a Lloyds staff member some staff discount and a few B1G2F items a couple of times a year! Lets face it we would be doing the same if we worked there.

    As for the sale, I haven't seen 1 thing that I really really want. The fragrances are awful this time and the cheaper brands like Beckham don't appeal.

    Managed to get 3 lynx shower gels and 1 pack of gillette razors in my basket in the early hours but it then emptied. The prices have went up from last year too (maybe partly due to inflation or supplier increases?) but last time the Lynx shower gel B1G2F worked out at 75p each, this time they're working out about 90p each, yes only 15p dearer each but not much of a bargain as you can get them for £1 regularly in supermarkets. Made me wonder is it really worth the hassle of the website...

    The website seems to be just a new 'skin' with the same coding behind it, although sold out items do seem to be getting removed a bit quicker compared with last time?

    Just wondering if anyone happened to notice which cow & gate baby food jars were in the offer? As they are not marked up in my local but found that the fruity cereal did go through at 50p for three although the shelf label had normal price of £1.65 or something.

    Also i picked up 3 lots of kleenex balsam pocket tissue packs each with packets in for 50p for all 3 so thats 36 packs for 50p these are jyst the pocket little packs.

    Thanks for any replies on the baby food flavours included in the offer.

    Thanks

    I went to two shops today, nothing in one and only Playboy sets in the other. (of which I am now the proud owner of three)

    I must again praise the woman who works in the shop in Kettering, she is so nice and helpful.

    don't begrudge them at all but do it in their own time please!!!
    and then to tell us they haven't got time to put stuff out on the shelves!

    i mean can you imagine going to a next sale as the doors open and the sale items are still unpacked in boxes with staff rumaging through them shouting i'll have that one?

    think they are on the minimum wage as well
