They've had all these 'diy sale' signs up in my local Wilkies all week now but nothing at all has been reduced and whenever I ask any of the staff I just get vague replies about how they're not sure when it's supposedly 'going live'.0

Lots in cleveleys branch today. Got a European car kit (triangle, bulbs, etc) for £12.50, similar around £30 on halfords. Also lots of paint reduced to £3, and polyfila etc. I got a polyfila stick for £1. Hope this helps0

I don't know if this is in all of them but at my local one yesterday they had them reduced so I bought 3 as they make great gifts and stocking fillers. You get two pairs of clippers - one small and one large, a metal nail file with plastic handle and some decent looking tweezers (which on their own were being sold for £1.50). I think the set was originally £1.50, so still a fairly good price. :j

Stock depends on stores as the DIY sale is on due to new lines or new stock coming in. Check online for deals. If in stock at dc you can get it sent to store for free. So different stores might have different stock left . I work there so I know these thingsMortgage free wannabe
