woolworths sale

[justasking]

Hi can you tell me if woolworths is doing a 50% off everything sale tomorow, i went to their sale the other day to find that it was only 10% off most stuff but i was just watching the news and it said something like 50% off...anyone know, cos i want to buy an xbox? Thanks in advance.

It is Everything Must Go as from tomorrow. The trouble is, Woolworths don't really stock the sort of stuff people want to buy. Such a shame. They tried to do a bit of everything, but it didn't work. I heard a comment on the radio - "Woolworths is where you go to shelter from the rain"

Popular items, like Xboxes, will almost certainly have already sold out from Woolies. (They certainly had when I browsed round their Stowmarket store the other day).

I doubt that much will actually change when the 'closing down' sale starts tomorrow. The existing reductions will probably stay as they are, except where managers can see that some items are not selling quickly enough to clear all stock within the next fortnight or so.

I went to three woolworths stores very early yesterday in the hope of buying four of the medion computers for my nephews and nieces, but strangely they had all disappeared from the shelves, any similar experiences.

Won't the staff have snaffled them long before they even get to the shelves? Frankly I don't blame them.

[Prudentia]

you are most probably right, and if I was in their position I would probably have done the same, thanks for your insight, Prudentia

50% off ladders is a bit risky too.

[mrs.chappie]

50% off gloves means you'd only get one glove. {:o(

[Prudentia]

never wear them.

[wonkon-wonk]

great if you want tea towels though.

[Prudentia]

never wear them either

Has anyone given a thought to the poor people who are goibng to be out of work, my daughter included. It is an insult to read theses comnments

Games/music.films etc will not appear in the "everything must go" sale, as the medai branch of Woolies is still operating. Apparently they supply a lot of places that sell media online. One I know of for sure is zavvi.

So that stuff is apparently all going to a central holding area, for distribution at normal price.

However, I will be in woolies tomorrow to but loads of chocolate, and to see if there are any good bargains on the kids clothes!!

I went into my local woolies on Monday ( where I worked 3 years ago) and the shelves were empty they only had years old tat form their (now empty) stockroom ,school clothing and sweets, all very sad , this time of year the stockroom was full to bursting of all the sale stuff coming in, loads of toys, even easter eggs would arrive just before xmas- they have been going down the pan for years,

and spending 98 million pounds refurbishing the stores into 10x10 format 5 or so years back when they KNEW they were in trouble was a complete waste of time, they should have spent the money getting in decent stock that people wanted to buy, and sorting out their direction.

end of an era, 25, 000 people out of work , all very very sad
