    Anyone scanned any of the reduced toys today? I'm wondering if they've gone to 90% yet

    Still 75%, I can't see them going to 90% though, my local store puts them to discontinued after 75% sometimes even after 50%.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff

    Thanks for reply :)

    I'm going by last year when there was the crazy 90% sale, I'm hoping it ends up the same this year

    But then its a case of very little still left. I've bagged a few bargains at the 75% but can always be tempted by some 90% bits to stash away for stocking fillers :D

    Just bought my little baby born splashing, no sel but label on box said was £30 now half price £15 but scanned at £3.50
    Hiya, a word of advice to anyone who gets one of these, take them out of the box and see if you can get them to work, I had 3 different ones for my DD4, not one of them splashed, I ended up exchanging for a normal play doll. x

    I was under the understanding that the 90% off prices last year was a huge error on Tesco's behalf, reducing not just toys, electricals, baby items etc. I could be wrong but toys that had been on 50% off had suddenly jumped to 90% off overnight and electricals that hadn't been reduced also going through cheap.

    I do remember that fondly, have lots of barbie bits amongst others tucked away for dd for Christmas this year. If your after anything in particular I wouldn't wait as kids toys are so expensive that people are happy at 50% off, let alone 75% off which seems to be the best reductions you get all year. 90% would be a great bonus though.

    It seems quite shocking that 90% of the toys I bought in the last year came from here and the 10% was boots and a couple from amazon!

    Telford Home Plus had the Baby Annabel Care for Me dolls down from £44 to £11 on the usual preschool toy aisle marked down. Everything in the sale in there is marked down and there are no interesting things left or anything less than the marked price. Also things on the clearance aisle that are still full price as usual.

    Chatted to staff in a couple of stores, when it was happening. It was not a mistake as far as I know from what they said. Something about clearing the warehouse because they didn't want to pay tax on old stock, so selling it off at 90% to clear
  • I didn't see anything at my local T's apart from a carousel hippo bath toy I got for £1 - It was sitting happily at the back of the shelf on its own! lol
