There's actualy no closing down sale in woolworths

[what..the?]

Just been in my local branch in Plymouth and the prices are exactly the same as yesterday. Those prices yesterday and all of last week which are supposedly 50% are not even 50% its just 10% 20% or 30% if reduced at all and all the chocolates have been priced up by �2.

Hi what..the? , the Woolies where I live have a huge 50% off sign in the windows , with a tiny " up to " next to it , and when you go in , it's mostly 10% or nothing at all .

[funnygirl]

Makes me laugh when shops advertise

"Up to ___% off"

All the 'up to' ones have gone!!!!!

Same with "From ___% off"

All the 'from' ones have gone!!!

[4getmenot]

really?? so DVDs are just 10% still?

[squarebear]

We went in on Sunday and couldn't see anything that was 50% off.

[what..the?]

Basically everything was the same as it was all last week it was the same signs they havent changed any.

Plus I think someone asked about the prices because as I walked past one on the assistants she said "we're not giving the stuff away, were just reducing it" I can't see that their even living upto that

[what..the?]

Just thought I would warn people incase they are going out their way to go in today for the woolworths lies lol

There was even a camera crew outside our store (proves nothing happens in plymouth) I felt like crying out its all a scam lol

[pastafreak]

LOL....glad I saw this as I was going to pop into the Plymouth branch later after work. So its same old,same old.......maybe not all branches are closing????

[4getmenot]

well they should give it away

[what..the?]

lol hi pasta, I think they are all closing but some quicker than others I think it just stock based the shop will stay open as long as theres enough stock to warant it. When it gets a empty they will close the doors because it not worth the staff wages etc.

I think they are going to draw out this closing sale about a week at least and then reduce things to the bargin prices they have promised only when they have too.

I have to say the plymouth branch was packed couldn't move. But I think the people in their hadn't been in already and therefore they thought the reductions were new and worth grabbing.

I think some people trust woolworths to be competitive for price but in fact they have increased alot of prices to them reduce them and make the deal look tempting.

As already confirmed nothing is actually 50% off as advertised all last week, and nothings change now even though 'closing sale' is all over the news

How very dramatic what..the? LOL

"It's all lies I tell you.... LIES".

Still, it would beat having the random oaf waving at the camera behind the reporter.

Those ironing board buyers are going to go mad.....

[what..the?]

lol nat

I was holdng a sign it the back ground "Woolies can shove their closing sale up their...."

[bigmamma]

Lol what..the? ! The store here is busy , but most people just walking round looking for something in particular that isn't in stock , or looking for something that's more than 10% off . Me....I've given in looking , and just use the store as a walk through from street to mall . x

[what..the?]

Is that the quickest route mamma?

It takes like 20 mins to get through ours at the mo

P.S I will actually miss woolies except the q's

[bigmamma]

It's a popular cut-through , it's the first shop from the bus depot that leads to the mall by having an entrance both sides . If you enter the area from the right though you're quicker going through the malls main entrance .

[what..the?]

As I said when I heard the news about woolies, the biggest asset to sell would be the shops themselves or the leases as most Woolies are in the best locations, they have been around like100 years so they have had first dibbs of the best spots in town.

If I were a retailer I would be putting offers on the table now, I bet the administors will take the offers up they need every penny to pay themselves for their costs and time. For those that don't know none of the creditors will be paid a penny it will all go into Deloittes big pockets.

It's manic in our local Woolies. I feel really sorry for the staff as they are trying to go round upping the discount notices (20% to 30%) and everyone is in the way. People are asking questions like 'How much will this be reduced to in the future'? and 'When will the Nintendo DS be less than �80'? and the staff know very little except that they are losing their jobs.

[banjobabe]

If you read the sign, in very small letters it says 'up to'
and then in very big letters 50% off

You should always read the small print

lol

I was going to go today to have a look but if they dont have any good reductions forget it!!! Good job I saw this thread!!

[Gromit]

That's the wonder of Woolworths
