Default Poor Woolies :(

So no more Woolworths soon!

See here

Anyone else find it sad? Walked past the one in Aber today and the queues were HUGE. Just in time for Christmas though so not all bad I guess . Such and old store and now it's being beaten by online shops and big supermarkets

No more cutprice DVDs for me #sigh#

Mind you I could tell it was all going downhill when they switched the sweety pricing, so now you pay according to weight as opposed to how much you could strategically stuff in one of their cups

Haha no, I've only been in there to get them a couple of times and not since they changed it. A mate of mine works, or worked, there and told us about the tricks around it

My local Woolies was closed today as they had a power cut, but only that store! The rest of the high street was ok, maybe they got cut off?

I thought this was going to be about Poor little Lambs being murdered for meat!

But it was a super market...

Can you imagine my disappointment?

Sales a farce. I was in before the sale and popped in yesterday for a look. Many of the items have been increased in price then reduced in the sale to make it look like a saving but actually the original price. Bah hum bug
