    When that happened to me I didn't buy them, then emailed Wilko CS and they sent me a gift card.

    Last year, it happens when some items disappear of their pricing database and they haven't put price labels over the barcodes for them to go through as non-standard items with a manually input price, they usually spot this and quickly take everything off the shelves or barricade the aisles, but I was lucky and got 2 trolley loads of stuff all at only 1p each.

    If you notice items where only some of them have crossed out barcodes and reduced stickers, see what any barcoded items come through at.

        A whole Cage full of stuff all at only 10p each this morning:

        Fleece tunnels
        Large Perspex propagator lids (that's the short edge at the front).
        Peat pot packs
        Half trays x 5 packs
        Strawberry mesh
        Mini greenhouse covers

        Wilko 10p.jpg

        And these reduced to 50p (whatever they are)

        Except for a couple of baskets reduced to 10p/pkt all the other seeds appear to be back to full price!

                My local Wilko's isn't having any form of a sale?!! Is the sale localised to a number of stores?

                @Prkns not that am aware of. They always reduce gardening stuff at this time of year. Did you ask the staff if they were going to do theirs?

                @Cannyfullpots, i didn't ask... they've only just put all of the gardening stuff out properly. All of the shelving and signage is brand new so i can't see them offering up a sale anytime soon?!

                Is it a new store? That can delay the normal reductions that regulary occur in other stores, when one opened in the next town during the summer they didn't start reducing stuff almost as soon as they'd opened, but the following year they reduced inline with other stores. Wilkos reduce gardening, then camping, Halloween, Xmas, Easter, etc. stuff every year at end of each season, plus have other reduced price promotions, such as 25% and 50% off homebrew.

                    @Scrungee, no the store has been open for years... they're constantly doing refits however and it is one of the biggest Wilko's i've been in. I guess i'll just have to keep checking back :)
