Primark sale bargains

If you're in town rush to Primark to get sme lovely smock tops with beautiful prints for £2 (crazy my daughter says!) ehich are in fashion at the moment but going fast!
Also others for £3

They are lovely and stretchy and sizes sem much the same so try on if possible.

I bought 4 in different sizes and all four look great. I'm very pleased.
Please please be careful with your purse as police around warning people Primark is a top area for theft! As you funmble around for bargains they fumble for your purse. Beware!

    I have to agree, the sizes are very erratic.
    I got 3 identical tops & dresses for my daughter in size 8, 10 & 12 & they are all nearly the same size just differing by a few mm, not cm as you would expect between that size range.
    So not a bargain as I now have to return all as none fit :mad:

    You can find some nice things in Primark, but whenever I find something I like they never have it in a size less than about 18 or 20, and they definately never have any in a size 8. Sod's law I guess. Can get some good bargains in the accessories, I bought a nice set of bracelets for £1 and some weeks later saw a big online store selling the same set for £8 ;) They're a good place to buy vest tops from aswell, can never have too many of those, especially in summer.

    My husband (disabled) was mugged in Primark. Some little scumbags kicked his stick from under him. (I am glad to say that as one of them moved in for the potential wallet, DH lashed out with said stick and got him across the shin. They all ran away, at that point). Primark security staff walked in the opposite direction, rapidly :mad:

    I think Primark is my idea of bedlam - stuff piled everywhere - packed with people - hour long queues. It's obviously me that's weird cos everybody else must love it.
