Waitrose Christmas stuff cards, crackers, gifts and chocs 75% off

Comments

  • Popped into my local, Stamford, most of the chocolate down to 10p. All Lindt chocolate had gone.
  • They have all been reduced - in the Parkstone store they were marking them all down last night. Some things have gone to 75% off (50% off and then half of that) and some to 62.5% off (25% off and then half of that).

    I managed to get a Carluccio's set (book and pasta) for £3.75 and a Duchy's cheeseboard set for £5.

    All their wrapping is 75% off too so their rolls of wrapping paper are 88p.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi do you know if the cream crackers are reduced in parkstone Jacobs?

    Droitwich has loads of charity (BHF and Save the Children) Christmas cards for 10p (8 cards) and loads and loads of chocolate (big purple, galaxy gifts etc) for 16p - they also had a big stack of the cake kits, but the price was still £5 on the shelf, not sure if that's the actual price though, but they had LOADS.
    Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:

    I have used a cake pack each Christmas - from the sales the year before. Have come out just fine. So go for it

    At last !
    my local has finally reduced the remnants of the Xmas stock to 75% and less.
    Not many 'gifts' left, and cards still 50% (miserable devils)
    But choccies finally reduced to clear...... not before time.
    This was late Saturday evening.
  • Wrapping paper now 15p (looks good quality) and 12 'essential' range mince pies 49p. Sell by date 24 1 13 or they should freeze Ok.

    Waitrose, especially the smaller branches, can be a great place for bargains a few hours before closing - particularly from the bakery, as some stores sell off the bakery bread & cakes each day.

    Don't forget to use a Waitrose card. Its free instore and gives free coffee or tea etc., (see other posts for details.) The card usually gives at least a 1p off the bill and sometimes quite a bit more.
