Posting is a privilege, not a right. This is a privately-owned site. Posting is a privilege, not a right. Any inappropriate posts or any issues that take up a disproportionate amount of resources or make it a worse place to be will be stopped at our discretion - with or without explanation. No one pays to use this site; when there are issues, we pay to resolve them. Sometimes we need to prioritise spending money on the site, other issues or better resources.
Please be nice to all MoneySavers. That’s the forum motto. Remember, the prime aim is to help provide info and resources. If you don’t like someone, their situation, their question or feel they’re intruding on ‘your board’ then please bite the bullet and think of the bigger issue. A Guardian article once "doffed its cap" to this forum as being the one place where consumers can collect together and fight back. Our job is to help keep it that way.

The original Wilko company went bust and was dissolved in April 2022. Many of the shops were taken over by B&M.diddlydoop said:

So, it looks like this was a red herring and there is no advent calendar this year.
They have been doing "Weekly Advent Deals" every Wednesday on Facebook since early in November, but these are just reduced prices.
They do run frequent comps on Facebook including one later today (2/12) in a Facebook Live at 6pm:-
