Wilkinsons Reductions thread

Re the 1p bargains, I've also experienced it in the past when they have refused to sell it for that price. It varies from store to store although I find this time of year when they have Xmas temporary staff they just tend to sell it for whatever it scans for.
hope others find some bargains too.

I usually buy John Frieda colour foam.
The other day i picked some 2 different colours (6N and 6 something).
One of them was going through the till as £5 and the other one- £1.25!
Happy me

Mine went through at £5 but the price on the shelf said £1.25 so cashier sold me it for the cheaper price. She said they were being discontinued

Lucky you getting stuff for 1p. I was buying some party stuff (prize ribbons for kids) and they came up as 1p. The cashier wouldn't sell them for to me as she said that means they have been discontinued and they should have taken them off the shelves.

I understood that the law states that a shop HAS to sell the item to you at the advertised price. I've had items for free when I've stated that to them and there's been a problem re: scanning.

Loads of hair accessories reduced in a big bin today, Whiskas cat food sachets and Felix chicken cat food sachets. Saw the John Freda colour mousses too. Some kind of sponge washing up type cloths in a 3 pack. Tonnes of other stuff too, but store was near closing and items weren't for me. Sorry didn't have time to check prices.

I don't think that's the case. I think that if something has a price tag on it, the store isn't under any obligation to sell it, however frustrating it can be for the customer.

Also, If something has been mis-priced I think you have to prove that store did that deliberately to get people interested.

I don't know why some of these shops use that method of pricing down to 1p - there must be another way of highlighting that this stock has to be taken off the shelves.

No; not in a self-service store. The goods on display are an 'invitation to treat', rather than an 'offer for sale'. As the shopper, you are the one offering to buy - and it is up to the shop to decide whether or not to accept your offer.

Thanks Tipsters.
In my store were:
Fence varnish dark oak 50p - that will do for the side we can't see !
other colours £2. So I bought a total of 2 of each for £5.
All seeds 10p
rigger gloves 10p
large green plastic wine glasses 10p
indoor white ceramic pot 50p
plastic drinking jars with handles 50p
various large rolls of wire/sets of green plastic rods etc £2
Kneelers-thick 2 inch pads with a pretty cover and handle, too good for the garden so I plan to use indoors or could be used for seat pads etc £1
Other plastic pots, tying wire, etc 10p

I saw a box marked all seeds 10p but when I took some to the counter they were only half price. The assistant said it was because they were not own branded seed although they were all in the same box. I hate it when they advertise like this as you feel a fool when you go to counter to pay and other customers can hear what is being said.

I always check and double check prices in Wilkinsons, often products on offer so through at full prices, happens so often now I watch each item as it scans.
