    I have just been to the Blackburn (bank top) shop. At least 40% off everything, except white paint :confused: .

    I saw some items with 97% of. There is some bargain pine bedroom sets, some really nice coffee tables from £350 reduced to £50ish. Rugs, a bath for a tenner, I got a £130 headboard for £13, half price pet stuff cheap prints and paintings. Those wobble machines that do an hours workout in ten minutes for £200. Loads of plants and big rocks for the garden. Kitchen units for next to nothing. But the big grabbit was definately the furniture. Loads of paint as well, crown, dulux.

    Worth a look

    Yes - some things were more than 40% - wallpaper, some bathroom stuff plus other bits and bobs - lots left - plenty of paint, beds, furniture.

    Most is now 50% off in Peterborough. sample paint tins are all reduced to 10p each.
    White paint & gloss however is still at 20% off.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I should check out the Peterborough branch as it's only a few mins from my work.

    Was there any garden centre stuff left at all? If so I'll check it out on Monday.

    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    Yesterday when I went there was a fair bit of garden stuff left, so could be worth a look :)

    Focus have 75% off a lot of stuff now. Carlisle due to shut soon, however just watch it at the tills. They put the items through at full price and give discount at the end, some is 50% others 75% but the till doesn't know that. I had 4 items with only 50% off instead of 75% and the girl swore blind it was right. I ended up taking the price tags off the shelf and adding the totals up in front of her and her colleagues. Eventually I got my refund £11.75. Worth separating the 75% off stuff before you get to the checkout.

    Went to the Cannock store today. Not much left but most of the items seem to be between 50% - 75% off. Lots of table furniture at decent prices.
