i managed to pick up

mango pieces 125g - 75p
jars stem ginger in syrup - 59p
dried cranberries - £1.30
dried apple slices - 85p
organic figs - £1.31

and the best bargain
whitworth prunes - 10p!!!
last pack just left behind another item with no label, so i just thought why not, i'd ask cashier for price just incase

i guess it all depends on if you like dried fruit, we do, so its a bargain

there was also 'sale' in some cake decorations including food colouring/icing/sprinkles, i didn't buy those that were left, but mostly empty shelf spaces when i went

I went to a medium sized Sainsburys and there wasnt alot tbh, there was 1 sign for 10p on one bit in the dried fruit section but that was it everything else wasnt reduced by much if at all. The baking section looked like it had been cleared but didnt see any cheap prices on the labels so was alittle confused, bought some sprinkles for 62p that was about it. Looked round the rest of the store and found some sweetners for 50p instead of £4 but noway would I pay £4 a packet!! They are new apparently and made from some plant in south America thought 50p was cheap but wouldnt buy again as they dont sweeten my tea like others they just add a funny taste but have 4 packets so shall persist with them.

Experienced the same on Sunday. Does anyone know whether stocks are replenished, or if its a case of when its gone, its gone?

To answer my own question, it looks like stocks are being replenished as there was plenty more 5p mincemeat on the shelves this evening.

Bags of dried apple - 50p

I bought several foil packs of dried apple for 42p (250g, exp Aug / Sep 13), great for the handbag when my instinct is to buy a chocolate bar and a coffee! Still no prunes

Seems to me it's very luck of the draw, but worth keeping an eye out on the shelf regularly.

When Sains. do discontinued lines,they can reduce them by whatever thwy want,[example Breville slow cooker was 70% of in one branch..Got it for £14.95,yet in the next branch I visited was 20% off.Same with prunes 50p differance in both branches

Little Tikes Baby Ocean 3 in 1 Musical Gym, RRP £24.99, reduced to £7.50 in Sainsburys today.

Mothercare have it for £15.99.

I can't find the screwdriver so can't pop in the batteries yet, but my baby seems very happy playing with it without music. It has 2 stars on Amazon, but that's with only 1 review.

Sorry I can't post links but if you google it, images comes up.
