Woolies to slash ALL prices by up to 50% tomorrow

Administrator details ‘Biggest Ever Sale’; could High Street be heading for Xmas price war?

Woolworths administrator Deloitte has told MCV that the retailer will launch its ‘Biggest Ever Sale’ tomorrow – with discounts of up to 50% on all goods.

Deloitte said in a statement:

‘We anticipate increased footfall in the stores and have hired additional staff to cope with increased demand. Additional goods have been moved to all stores and further stock will be added in the coming days.

‘There is continuing interest in the core Woolworths business and the Sale will continue whilst potential buyers finalise their plans for the purchase of the business.’

Highlights of the Sale will include up to 50 per cent off Toys, 30 per cent off Christmas trees and decorations, 50 per cent off all greeting cards, 20 per cent off personal gifts and reductions on all entertainment products.

No details of discounts on "pick & mix" though?

Actually sources say that "pick & mix" will contain extra bogeys and dirt from the ones that get put back in the jar! Bargin.
