    Yep, sure did - still got a box full of allun keys, screwdrivers, spanners, paintbrushes, etc from last time.

    This year it seems they are changing these items more frequently - The pet stuff didn't last long and was reduced down to make way for the diy stuff - I also noticed the fitness equipment is creeping its way down to 75% off.

    My guesstamation would be 50p in 6 weeks time, then 10p in a further 2 weeks.

    a couple of weeks ago i got a 1 pound tesco bargin a 6 place cuttlery set from the 'once it's gone' section - only cheap with black plastic handles, but i take them to work with my packed lunch (better than loosing my good cuttlery, and stuff in the staff room is minging!!) it scanned through the till at 5 pounds, but the lad on the tills noticed the box had 1 pound printed on it and changed it down to that. he also told a supervisor that the product was scanning at the wrong price and to report it. imagine my suprise when 2 weeks later i go back in the store and can see they still have some left - i thought at that price i may as well buy some for the staff room as well. when i got to the shelf all the packaging had 5 pound stickers over the 1 pound printing and the shelf lables had changed, the red 1 pound casing had also been removed.
    therefore floflo is just as likely to find they have been price changed to 5 pounds as to 10p in a few weeks!!!

    I wasn't being nasty to the OP so all stick your claws back in! As another poster this happened at least twice last year. The exact same stuff - the drill bits, paint brushes, padlocks, tape etc. was reduced to 10p and there was tons of it.

    I would keep an eye on things you could use if they start to run low then buy now but otherwise you'll be kicking yourself when you see them filling trolleys with it at 10p.
