You will have to take them back to the shop for refund

Do what my sister does - she buys the same thing at the lower price - then takes it back to another store with the original receipt at the higher price.

Works everytime

Hope this helps

I would do but it's now out of stock

Found this by chance, as only 2 products were marked 75% off and were out of stock.
But did a price check on the Stepper which had an sel of £34.99, and it rung through the till at £8.74!
Others we got were -
Punch Ball and Gloves - sel £24.99 rang through £6.24
Gym Ball - Sel £8.99 rang through £2.24
Wrist and Ankle Weights - Sel £6.99 rang through £1.74
Thigh toner - Sel £4.99 rang through £1.24
Yoga Kit including Mat - Sel £14.99 rang through £2.99!

These products all had a sel of the full price - so there may still be loads out there, just get a price check.

Yesterday, I went back to the large store on Oxford Street to see what was left in the sale. Most of the jewellery had gone. There's still a few things left worth buying though, If you've got time to look through all the tat to find the best stuff, LOLI got: dream hair polish for 50p, shower gel 25p, 3x nail polish 25p each, 17 purse with mirror 32p, bracelet 50p and botanics shower gel for 75p + 100p with mag voucher :)Last September the Kensington branch (near tube) had a mega sale upstairs for about a week. Everything was 50p. I got some amazing stuff. There was so much stock. I couldn't believe my luck! It's worth keeping a eye on this store incase they have another huge sale!

Just picked up 2 of the £19.99 family first aid kits for the equivalent of £2.49 each as they're handy to keep in the car / take on holiday etc. Can't spot the post, but thanks to the OP for the info :A

Shop Price £19.99
used:-
1/2 price voucher from ACM for Boots first aid
750 points voucher from parenting club mailing

so £9.99 and 750 points back.

went into woolie as I always do to look for a pressie for my firends daughter-i picked up some maltersers and some sweets in pack- browsed around the shop to look for something nice to go with them but couldn't find anything so left the sweets and choccies at the back on a reduce aisle where i was looking at toys and decided to come back tomorrow after having a think.I had just walked out of the store when a man ran after me calling can you stop i turned around and he said you had chocoloates in your hand which you didn't pay for you have stolen them-lots of passers by started to stare.I was so shocked i didn't know what to do so i walked back towards him and said are you accusing me off being a thief i put them back becaus ei changed my mind-he said show me i said i will.When i went into the shop he grabbed my river island carrir bag and chcked inside then handed it back to me without an apology-i wanted to cry as everyone was stood around me all i managed to say was you can't treat me like this i am a regular customer but he said he could so i said i would never shop there again and he said don't.i ran out of the shop crying and now i decided to call the store to speak to the manager but the lady on the phone said by his description it was the manager who did this to me.sorry for bad spelling my hands are shaking
p.s i shop there every week as i get my lottery done there aswell as bits for my niece and I was actually thinking of taking her in tomorrow to buy a summer chair on my way out before it all happened.Now my brother is so angry he wants me to go back to the store with him to show him the person so he can punch him
