    Ordered some 12 lawn edging for my friend 75% off and a lawn rake 50% off to collect Gt Yarmouth ,called Tuesday ,order arrived ,so in Attleborough drove 40 ish miles across to Yarmouth, surly staff ,could only find rake told come back tomorrow.
    Said you must be joking 40+ miles there and back to Stalham,eventually find somebody who knows what she is doing ,she phones warehouse all gone somebody else must have ordered same time as me .!!
    Have to accept this told I have been emailed, when I get home email sent after I left Yarmouth to say only rake in stock.! Money to be refunded means I paid full price for rake ,so phoned customer care to complain and got full price of rake refunded so now free and after a nudge expecting a voucher for my inconvenience, hope it`s at least a tenner to cover fuel .......

    Great news - Wilkos Halloween Range is here! - that means other (especially gardening) stuff will be reduced to clear it out the way. Must keep checking in store for bargains.

        Haven't seen anything else reduced at Wilkos for ages now, loads of items are disappearing from the displays/website without the good old 50 & 75% reductions.

        Anybody else remember those good old days when you'd wonder whether to buy the likes of liquid tomato feed, etc. at 50% off or risk waiting until 75% off to get enough?

        And if you were lucky there was still loads left when it was finally knocked down to 10p.

            Just a small selection of bits and bobs at our store for half price....

            Mowgley, they're still selling those Musas at our store for £5 :hate-shocked: , they've had them in for a couple of months now and they don't look too good now to be honest..:frown:
