Whsmith 10p Bargains

in It's gone, but was it any good?
Just been to Bletchley branch of Whsmith to pick up my local paper and spotted lady in front of me holding a rather nice thick Suduko book and pen with a '10p' price sticker on it. DD is mad on Suduko so got back out of the queue and went for a look. Found said Suduko book - seems they are dated puzzles one for each day of the year and also picked up 6 packs of xmas cards (10 per pack) also at 10p per pack, and 8 packs of xmas gift tags - 5 packs for the 'grown-up' nice foil ones and 3 packs of characters with springy legs for the kiddies. Nice big bag full of stuff for £1.50. Just have to remember where I've put them come the end of the year now. Lots of other reduced things - 10p, 69p and higher.

    Madammin - I read a great tip on these forums a few years ago - You write where you have stored things away on the November page of your Calendar!!

    The Sudoku books were still £5.99 in Bishop Auckland branch and the Christmas cards 25p
    So the pricing could be at the manager's discretion.

    Thanks saved me going to look myself, I might try Durham though I doubt they'll have any offers as they don't usually.

    We used to get some very good bargains in Smiths but the manager got transfered to their Darlington branch.
    I hate the parking in Darlington, so haven't been to see if he's improved their deals.

    I miss him :-(
