Sainsburys toy sale (merged)

pleasedelete

I got some things as low as 2p! A snow white dwarf for 20p, a pink cat labelled Jess for 9p, a jumping disc thing 2p (like acup in a net and it bounces up) plus some gromiti and a small play set thing about 10p. They are at work so I can't check.

Was there about 2:30 today and they were restocking... they block off the aisle while they do it. There were quite a few people waiting. Someone said they had waited about 20 minutes for them to do it but when it reopened there was plenty of room to move about. Had gone to Cheshire Oaks store this morning and got a few good things but it was so crowded. They had a few different barbie dolls in liverpool but not much in the way of sets. Had seen the puppy waterpark thing and puppy stroller in Ellesmere Port but not in liverpool. I am sure stuff goes fast though and as others have said they might bring out different stock to what they had before so probably worth looking.

Thanks I'l have 4 kids with me and have to get the bus or train so just wondering where's best to go
Prescot is about 40 mins away on the bus, or southport would be 1hr on train , not sure how to get Ellesmere port from station ect

:j well first ever post up ready and warming up for the charge at the castle vale sains sale.haha.

What was Castle Vale like this morning? Kids slept in for a change and being a nice mummy I didnt want to wake them and also took full advantage of a lie in. I didnt really want anything or actually need anything but was planning to go for a little look (more than probably would have come away with something.

Hope you got what you wanted. May pop in during the next few days but keep telling myself my boys do not need any more toys, my boys do not need any more toys.

I have been to Cannock Orbital today - quite a large selection and still a fair bit left. No Kiddizooms or Elefun's but the sales assistant said there were at least 2 more deliveries coming over the weekend and he knew these were on them. Ton's of lego, scooby doo, dr. who, zoobles, kitchens and littlest pet shop.

Also popped into the Wednesfield store - not a huge selection but loads of everything they had - either a quiet day there or they'd just restocked.

HTH

Went in Wednesfield at 8am and 4:15 and both times were quiet - people didnt seem that interested!!

Wish I'd picked up another Hello Kitty plush though - going back tomorrow to see if there are any left.

went to thetford this morning, got there for opening- first year ive been instore andOMG!!

two men literally ran, stopped at the lego, held out their arms and scooped everything into their trolleys!!!

i wasnt looking for lego so didnt bother me, but was obvious its going on ebay- felt really sorry for those that missed out.

i managed to get:
buzz lightyear £20.99
hello kitty kool cards £10 (the one thing my daughter KEEPS asking for yippee!!)
hello kitty beads
moon dough
scooby doo set for my son

all in all very happy - but would never have paid the full price for those items

This is the first year we have been able to go because it is just too much trouble to get there on public transport. But we had a car this year so have been able to get there. If you did go for it you are braver than me (especially with kids in tow) I only got a couple of things in the Liverpool store so to me would not have justified a 40 minute bus ride but they had lots of toys on the aisle. Just not things I was looking for so not sure if they were good deals or not. Sorry can't remember much. Plus they had just restocked, but not sure how often they do that.
