    I work at sainsburys and yes its thurs. (Im the one putting the toys out!)there wont be any half price toys the day before.

    I know in advance its a cheeky one -

    but

    My hubbie has informed me that I have no chance of a car on Thurs - if I was to go in and buy the 2 items that I know I want at full price on Wednesday - and then go in on Friday to return them - can I buy them back at the reduced price the same day???

    I want 2 v expensive items and the saving is huge - but I just can't get to one on thurs - any other day I have the car but next thurs I don't !

    Worth checking the opening times at each store.

    Mine is 24hr so I got there for midnight last year and was shut and told 6am opening for the toy sale.
    I got there at 6am and was a lot sold out already - it had actually opened at 5am!

    So I will be going to chat to customer service on weds for an offical opening time this year! :-)

    Ours isn't a 24 hr one it opens at 7am normally on a thurs, so if I can drag myself out of bed early can nip up whilst the kids are asleep and Oh is still at home-he only sets off for work just after 8. If I can get there just before 7 so straight in as they open whip around the toys and out in 45-50 mins can get home in time for him to get off to work-we have 2 cars, but don't want to take all the kids with me obviously lol. Mum could look after them later on, but alot of stuff maybe gone by then.

    Thanks - didn't realise it was so long since I'd been there!

    Does anyone know if they sell hexbugs - my son wants to spend some birthday money on them

    Is Peterborough any good? All the sainsburys near us are not very big?

    Thanks
