  • Don't know if ours is closing down. New Superdrug JUST opened, big one too, plus another one in the shopping centre across the road from Savers.

    Will go into town tomorrow.

  • Bizarre all of this - it was only about a year ago that 1 of the 2 Superdrug stores in Gravesend shut down and became a Savers store.

    Now it could be shutting anyway?

    Wilkinson sell alot of the simple range, so could be worth checking there, the soap always seems to be bogof which is good

    No sign of it closing in Chelmsford, a little bit away from superdrug, but they have a boots nearby and a boots nearish the superdrug, so far enough away to make having two superdrugs viable I am guessing. I'll keep a look out

    The Savers distro centre is here in Darlington, and they've just announced they're shutting it down with major job losses... I guess this would be the reason why!

    Plus the hassle they've had about the lorries coming/going from their site. Typical these days that a housing complex is allowed to be built next to an industrial estate and the companies get moaned at!

    Found that a lot of the stuff is cheaper in Wilkinsons now, bought a metre length of waterproof plaster in Savers last week for 99p then found it was only 69p in Wilko.

    Congratulations to julieblake - sounds like you got some great bargains!

    PS. Nice to know there are some fellow MSE posters in Darlington! :)

    Thanks OP not a lot of discounts in our local Savers but did pick up some jars of Cow&Gate Turkey & Veg Casserole for my little one for 25p each normally around 95p. (I prefer her to have fresh stuff honest but jar's are handy for when I'm working)
    Booo!!!
