Wilko reduces stock with 70 percent off items – and shoppers say ‘there’s hardly anything left on the shelf’
SHOPPERS are racing to Wilko to snap up some bargain items from the sales aisles, including seeds and pet food.
Taking to social media, one woman posted a photo of the incredible assortment of flower seeds she managed to get from the store.
She got herself three zinnia, one aster and two sunflower seed mixes for just £2.25 following the reductions.
The sunflower seeds are usually £2 each, but were on sale for £1.20, highlighting the incredible savings she was able to make.
In the caption, she told viewers: “Thinking ahead to next year.. Wilko 70% off seeds.”
Another woman, meanwhile, managed to get her hands on some cat food that was on sale for a steal price.
While the 750g Scrumbles Dry Cat Food Salmon usually costs £7.50, she managed to get it for just £2.50.
In the caption of the Facebook post, which was shared on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, she wrote: “Found at the Bolton wilko store, the 750g bags of adult scrumbles were reduced to £2.50, salmon the only flavour left.
“But it’s good to check wilko frequently and buy then and there cause reductions seem to come and go very frequently
“as a bonus, the company is teetering on collapse, bad for the company and staff, but lots of things reduced. Seen bedding down to £2 and such”.
People were quick to comment as one person wrote: “Ooh I’m gonna have to go and look”.
Another said: “Worth a lookie,” as a third shared: “So sad about Wilko closes”.
While a fourth added: “Hardly any wilkos have alot of stock in them”.
Bargain retailer Wilko filed a notice of intent to appoint administrators yesterday, putting all of its 400 stores at risk of closing.
The discount store, which employs around 12,000 people, is a beloved name on the high street for the vast array of bargain homewares and household essentials it sells.
