Comments

  • quite a few toys reduced 70% off in sainsburys in Cambridge yesterday...Junior laptops down to a fiver, minnie mouse sets down from £12.99 to £3 odd, little hello kitty figures 50p.
    Stuff going as fast as the guy was putting them out though :j

    Thanks - managed to get a few bits today from my local - only one or 2 of each item left on shelves, but to be honest I didn't think there would be anything left.

    There were Power Rangers, wrestling figures, star wars light sabers plus bits I can't remember.

    We were buying some reduced toys at the Oldham Sainsburys about 2 weeks ago and the assistant who was repricing said the massive toy sale started on 21/10

    Hi

    21st oct seems very unlikely as sains always do the sale on a Thursday but that sat is a Sunday. Last few yrs it's always been last thurs in oCtober which coincided with half term but that is a week later this yr so not sure. My guess would be either 25/10 or 1/11 have also noticed almost all the toys gone back up to full price which always happens just before the big sale too so looking promising

    HTH
  • I work for Sainsburys and there is nothing in store about it. There are no signs, no displays or anything. I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt happen.

    That's what everyone said last year and it still happened! Lol! X
  • It is going to be 'up to 50% off' this time so not as good as previous years
  • I've had it on good authority that the usual toy sale won't be happening this year. There may be some reductions, but it isn't going to be as all-embracing as previously...
  • I work for sainsburys and have been told its not happening this year

    Thank you for your posts - really hope you are wrong (In the nicest possible way) but best to be prepared and not be banking on something that may not happen

    If it is going to happen it will be advertised, facebook would be a place to check or they're website.

    It didn't get advertised last time did it? I remember the same kind of 'is it happening' posts last year!
