    Just been for a quick look/scan around my local tesco superstore. Not much left - looks like it has been ravaged by a storm of locust.

    Ladies Lynx Attract gift set - £1.37. They only had this left, probably worth a scan of other lynx sets.

    Men's Nivea gift set (shaving gel and balm) - again left only one because box damaged. £2.12.

    The tubes of smarties/jelly tots etc still scanning at £1. The Mcvitie's Victoria blue box and the Fox's red tin still scanning £4.00 and £3.50. Scanned quite a few boxes of chocs but nothing cheaper.

    There were some reductions (unmarked) on the Christmas Cakes/Christmas Puddings and Finest Rich Fruit Cake (how that can serve 16 would be a mystery), £4.00 and £3.00 and I used my £6 Orchard voucher. I need a birthday cake for 29th so just going to take xmas icing shapes off and redecorate it for a birthday :D

    They were bringing out some flat screen tvs when I was on way out, just starting to get sale stuff out.

    Good morning. Based on previous years S has been great for Christmas stock reductions (sweets, biscuits, gifts) so may be worth checking.

    Reporting from S.

    As expected, big reductions - cards less than half price (25/40p a pack for many, chocolates/biscuits half price, gift sets half price or less.

    Turkey crowns and turkeys half price.
