  • THANK YOU SO SO MUCH EVERYONE !!!

    I logged on here this afternoon, and shot down to my local Mt T at R*neo Crn. Basically there was a staff member bringing out a cage at a time, surrounded by loads of people.
    He would scan one item at a time and say the price and the first to put their hand up got it. I was gutted as really wanted the Sodor Airport set, but I think his "friend" right in front of him got it lol !!
    But from here I did get a Chugginton Track set £1, and a Bendarooz kit for £1.30.

    After seeing the Thomas set, I then went off to G*llows Crn as this store is bigger. Here I managed to get Beanz (little wiggly things) 30p per pack, Tigger and Roo Duplo set £1.30 (only small box), another Bendarooz set £1.30 and a little Ocean in my Pocket set 40p.

    I was still on the hunt for Thomas Sodor Airport, so then went off to C*dwell H*ath.
    My golly, they are doing major things here, as there was NO toy aisle or electrical aisle. The toys are down with the tins of choccies for xmas.

    Anyhows here I managed to get
    2 x Thomas Sodor Airport Megablocks sets £3 each
    Mini Barbies on a bracelet 40p
    Beanz 30p per pack
    Huge Bubble/Foam Gun with Gazillion bubbles £2
    Sylvanian Family Toy Shop £2.25
    Toy story figure with Parachute 50p
    Tinkerbell figure with parachute 50p
    Baby ZhuZhu 60p

    I am so so so happy, thanking you all lots and lots, as I normally miss all the bargains, but so wanted to get some bits to put by for xmas.

    If anyone wants the Thomas Sodor Airport sets, there are more at Ch*dwell He*ath, right on the top top shelf, I took the last 2 of the normal shelf but there are MORE right up the top so you might have to ask a SA to get them down.

    Did look for cheap electricals but didnt know any names or models of what were going cheap, so focused on the toys lol !

    Do all the stores have these scanners? I have never seen them! (I generally go to the big extra stores)

    To whoever asked about the car it's a little steps one
    It's really a baby/toddler type not for older boys

    It wasn't on the shelves an SA just shouted out anyone want these , me and the other lady got one each

    To be honest I don't go to Wath often it's s bit of a trek and hardly had any decent glitches or DTD's in there

    exactly. to show their mindset
    I scanned a thomas set@ 1.90
    I saw her clocking it and taking the other 5 off the shelf
    suppose the exercise would be good for her...............

    I know who you mean, I saw her too ... she told me she'd already been to Mussleburgh and it was now 'emptied'. LOL! Did you and I cross paths today? I'm another 'larger lady' and was with my Mum. I was NOT however grabbing multiples of things, I was actually alerting people to the bargains! I helped even a couple of people get the Vax handhelds for £5.10, I could have bloomin' ebayed those! Lol.

    I have to say the atmosphere in the F0rt was brilliant, we were all helping each other :)
