Sainsbury's Christmas items and gifts huge reductions instore

Sorry if this has already been posted, i couldn't find it on a quick search!

Have just been into my local and they have reduced most of their gift sets to 70% off.

I got a lego storage block for £2.10 from £7 and an Owl and !!!!! cat keyring and purse set for £1.80 from £6 i think.

There was also some pizza express sets, marmite egg cups and toast rack and a couple of own brand gift sets. There was also cards and bows at 70%, forgot to look at the wrap, but some good bargains to be had :)

    Its also worth checking the cheese fridge for 70% off food gifts, and boxes of mince pies were reduced to 50p a box
  • Managed to get some of the 70% discounted gifts as well. Just bear in mind that some are wrapped up in a Christmas cling and they expire March 2013 eg coffee cups, coffee canister etc

    Couldn't resist nipping next door - it was the mention of cheese wot did it. Have just some, £5 packs reduced to £1.50 for 500g of cheese (125g of Applewood, Double Gloucester with chives, Wensleydale with cranberries, Wensleydale with apricots) - loads left. Exp 05/01/13 - all neatly stacked in my freezer for when I want a naughty snack.
    Choc Chip Panettone £1.49 :D.
    Damn, missed this - probably a good thing as it wouldn't have lasted 2 mins with me anyway :o
