    I was in my local this morning when they started changing over the reduction signs.
    Asked the SA, it's trees & decorations that are 75% off now. Gift sets, toys, sweets and the like are stilljust 50% off at the mo.

    It's a bit confusing what's classed as decorations and what isn't though. Bought some bits for the tree which did have 75% off, but a lit wreath was still only 50% off...
  • Some of the Christmas stuff I saw today was 75% some was marked 50%.

    I picked up some gift tags I thought were 50% off, but they went through as 75% off. I dunno if they hadn't finished putting the 75% signs up yet.

    Most of the nicer things they had, had gone, like the better quality ribbon, trees, lights, but there were still loads of bauballs and other decorations. Candles would be very cheap if they go through 75% off, but I didn't try it. Christmas chocolate was only 50%.
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.
  • Are christmas lights 75% yet? Not sure if they count as decorations!

  • Very little left in the Bristol branch, I remember last year I got loads of Christmas stuff all priced at 10p including large bags of bows etc but not holding my breath this year unless they have loads stashed away somewhere.
