Bargains at Clintons and Birthdays

Jenjenf21

Just a heads up for anyone passing a closing store to maybe pop your head in and have a rummage!

Yesterday i bought 4 large Limited Edition Me To You Bears in Boxes that were reduced from £35 down to £2! A couple of designs were Xmas but that didnt worry me, i put them straight in my xmas box!There were some XXXL bears that were only £5 (there is no way i could carry those!) There is also alot of heart, girlfriend etc me to you bears that are half price (not as good as £2 but still cheap!)

Today i bought a giant plastic inflatable birthday cake (its huge!) which was 29.99 and i got this for 2.99.

I also bought some football paper plates for 10p down from 1.99, birthday girl balloons for 50p down from 1.99 and two girls tin carry cases which were 6.99 down to 20p.

They had various other plates and napkins, princess style and age 50 styles all at 10p and 20p.

Just a heads up i know this is probably store specific but worth having a look if your local is closing...this store was on Fenchurch Street....

Sorry I don't know what stores are closing and what are staying open....yes it was 20% off everything as well but just with some extra bargains to be had! Worth a hunt around!

There are more than what's on the list as my London branch and Essex branch are both closing (clintons and Pure party).....just maybe not in May...

Thankfully, my local Clintons isn't listed to close in May. I get why they are in financial difficulty but so sad to see yet another high street name possibly disappearing off the map. Not everyone wants to send eCards or have online cards delivered (the times I've used Moonpig the cards always arrive bent in the post), and a cheapo from Card Factory isn't always appropiate.

and the post office isnt helping much putting up stamps to 60p
