Title: More than I bargained for at Wilko's!
Post by: Hyacinth on February 15, 2006, 18:01:30
When I was there on Sunday, bought 6 x 40cm planters @ £2.29 ea. Thing is, just been putting drainage holes in them & in the bottom one there was the till receipt - got 2 of them for free ;D Must have been on a buy2 get 3rd free offer, but there was nothing written on the shelves. Have noticed before at Wilkos that reductions don't show up 'til you're at the till - as it were. So gonna do a container count before Sunday and go back & get all I need - might be in luck again ;D

Worth trying at your local shop if you need to buy any.

A pair of standard garden shears for £2,99 and a pruning saw at the same price. Can't be bad!

They are also doing a whole range of secateurs - bypass style mainly, from £2,99 up to £6,99, with a whole range of different type handles and grips. Something else for me to drool over at silly prices.

Watch out for their BOGOF seeds offer - they're actually only BOGOF if you only buy all packs at the same price.. mumble mumble.

ie I tried to get 2 x £2 packs and 2 x 39p packs, and they were going to give me the 2 x 39p packs free, not 1 x £2 and 1 x 39p. Makes quite a difference!

It was the girl at the till who pointed this out to me (bless her!) & sent me back to the racks to choose some more - no hardship there, then ;D
