    I just got back from Town with shedloads of 10p stuff from Wilco, about 100 items pens , pencilcases, rulers, pencils + loads more branded and wilco they also have -wait for it - 1p items. There were a few 1p Sel's with nothing there, but I checked lots of prices and a coupla things came up 1p

    wilco luxury bond writing paper 1p code 0094 5783:j

    wilco 10 x a5 mailing bags (plastic) 1p code 0262 7953:j

    All the sale stuff was at the back of the store on a special sale shelf. I wasted too much time looking for stuff on the regular stationery shelf - it wasn't there. OP thanks

    Nothing in my local Wilko. :( I love stationery but probably don't need any more.

    M and S website spell stationery as stationary.........:(

    Yes, and they also had the Union flag upside down on Jubilee items

    No wonder they are having problems with the share price and trading

    I used to love our wilkos, they had a reductions area under the escalators, and always likes to have a look for any bargains, especially for party bags or lucky dip type things for school. Then they decided to go all 'up market' and not have a bargain area :(

    Where are people finding these items, are they in with all the new 'back to school' seasonal things? Just seems odd that they are reducing this kind of stuff at the very start of the season. (not complaining mind you) and thanks for the info OP!

    I think they are all items which are being re-packaged. All the 10pm items (ie 4) I saw were on a clearance stand at the end of an aisle, nowhere near the stationery. I took a note of the OPs list, saw none of the items on the normal shelves that were on the list, and noticed that the 10p pencil cases I got (see-through zip up ones) were almost the same as the ones in the back to school aisle, but those ones had a black zip as opposed to a white (10p) zip, and the new ones have a card insert, the 10p ones dont.

    I am looking for girls stationery for my class presents, boys are sorted but still struggling for the girls. This rounds just the stuff. If anyone can post descriptions or barcodes that would be great.

    its because they have lauched a new range for the stationery section in line with the back to school promotion that has just gone live in all stores.
